A Store. A Pen. A Stamp.

I have something I need to say about greeting cards.  Actually, I have something to scream about greeting cards.  PLEASE JUST WRITE A NOTE TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE -ON REAL PAPER-IN YOUR HANDWRITING – and GIVE IT TO THEM ALREADY! 

Texts will disappear.  Messages on a Facebook page will get farther away each day.  A card – it lasts forever.  The paper can be touched and held, the handwriting creates a memory of a person’s personality.  They are part of our history for sure. 

My closet holds those perfect-sized storage boxes for different times in life. A box of memories from college.  Cards and notes from my wedding. An unnamed collection that is evidence of being a pen pal and writing letters, not just cards, to friends when paying for long distance phone calls was not a smart option.

That note someone took the time to write me, the card that celebrated a special birthday, offered condolence, or recognized an accomplished – they are relived each time I open a box. And I am so glad someone took the time.  Let’s not let the art of true, tangible correspondence become a subject of history books. 

A store.  A pen. A stamp.  And Just Like That, you make a moment that won’t disappear.
