Of course, postage just went up today. Go figure. But I'm not deterred! Thanks for your great comments. Maybe it’s because it’s so rare that it’s so special, but it does seem to matter.

I absolutely am in the "a letter means more" camp. Maybe it was all those years of Catholic schools , or maybe it was my training at home, but I always send snail-mail notes for thank yous, for special occasions. etc. In fact, I pick up a handful of Thank You cards whenever I'm in a stationery store. Somehow it's easier if you have some cool cards right at hand. I sent a reporter a thank you note after he wrote a wildly flattering piece about me. He immediatlely called me and said it was the first time anyone had every sent him a thank you letter, and he'd been an A and E reporter for 20 years. So, yes, I think a hand-written note is something special, something to cherish. Mary Kennedy Christine, this is a great topic! I absolutely am in the “a letter means more” camp.

She was the last and best penpal I had. I treasure each and every one of those letters. I felt so special because she took the time to write to me. I guess I should write to my nieces the old-fashioned way, too. My aunt used to send me letters. She was the last and best penpal I had. I treasure each and every one of those letters.

I don't do it enough, because e-mail and whatnot make it much easier and require less thought. But every day when I go through the mail, I'm subconsciously looking for that something special to make me smile. I really enjoy sending "thinking of you" cards to just uplift the people I love a little bit. Thanks for reminding me! I love getting and sending notes and letters in the mail.
