Writing a Letter Is a Lost Form - Let’s Bring It Back

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Hearthside

 

Communication is important to all of us. But, when was the last time you wrote a letter? I can almost bet, if you have children, they have never sat down to write a lette

 

All of us are well aware of our modern forms of communication – email, texting, Facebook, and even Instagram - that tons of teens use. Somehow, in the modern evolution of technology over the last several years, writing a letter has seemed to completely fall through the cracks.

 

December is actually “Write a Friend” month. So, here’s a challenge. Write a letter. Pull out your old stationary (or go buy some new), and write someone about what you’ve been involved. It can be a family member, friend, etc. Once you start to write, you might be very amazed at how long your letter becomes.

 

Encourage your kids (or grandkids), to write a letter to their family members. Hint hint – grandparents love to get a handwritten letter. You might be surprised at how much they enjoy writing to their loved ones. It’s a great rainy day activity, and will more than likely keep them quite occupied!

Hi, Martin.  The other day I was asked to write something in my own hand.  I am embarrassed to say, it was difficult!  It has been such a long time.
