Sometimes One Just Has To Let Go

Today after did our Easter Egg Hunt and baked with the kids I got to relaxing a bit. I took out my box where I store my pen friend letters and started looking through it.  I was amazed at how many letters have not been replied to me in over a years time.  I honestly don’t know why I saved them for this long.  I guess I thought well maybe, just maybe the person would write back the optimist in me. (ha ha)

 

Well I took the time today to sort through them and dispose in the round file all those letters that were taking up precious room in my letter box.  Now as I see it I have ample room for the pen friends I have that write regularly and want to continue a pen friend relationship.

 

Now I have to make sure I prune my letter box with more frequency as a way to go with the minimalist state of mind our family is in for this season of our life.

Letter Writing and A Very Very Hot Day

07/29/2011 by Sandra 4 Comments

Well our a/c stopped cooling somewhere in the middle of the night. This morning it was 77 degrees F in our home. By 3pm it was well on it’s way to 92 degrees F. Well to pass the time I wrote letters.

I also drank tons of ice water and icees etc. Thank goodness the repair guy show up at 5pm or so and the house is now in the 70’s again.

I have gratitude for cool water, and ice also for a nice cold shower oh my those felt good today.

The Joy of Writing

Today I posted these letters to some awesome pen friends. I got to use my big stickers that I bought a while ago. I think they look great and will be using them more until they are gone and then will go looking to find some more. I like them very much.

What do you do to embellish or add art to your envelopes?
