Did you do it? Did you write a letter during Universal Letter Writing Week (January 8-14th)? Maybe you received one? Not to worry, “now” is always the right time to acknowledge the importance of letter writing.
There are so many reasons to unplug, pick up a pen and a card or sheet of paper and write. Seeing our life’s experiences through the eyes of a letter writer shines a light on limitless opportunities to create a handwritten letter: notes of congratulations, condolence, gratitude, and love, to name a few. In short, there really is no excuse not to write a letter. Today, my motivation is to send a birthday greeting to someone very special to me.
Happy birthday to my sister and friend.
There really is no better way to share my best wishes for a happy year than to write a letter. Most birthdays offer us one wish if we blow out the candles but I have three wishes for you.
Firstly, I wish you a year of joy. Each day gives us a finite number of minutes and you consistently spend your minutes joyfully, lavishing your time on family, friends and community. We see you face each day with a burst of energy aimed at accomplishing great things. But more than that, your energy bursts forth with style. Always chicly attired, you meet each day with fresh curiosity, knowing that each day is a gift. Your joy creates joy; may it continue.
Secondly, I wish you time to focus on yourself. You so rarely carve out time for rest, exercise, or time alone. You deserve and need this to keep shining.
Finally, feel the love. Savour the attention and love that your friends and family send to you. It is heartfelt. Although you are a sparkling hostess, I hope you also receive exciting and rewarding invitations to events that allow your original personality to shine as a guest.
I am deeply grateful for your friendship and hope these wishes and yours come true.
Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words. Plautus
