Letters and a layout
June 05, 2008 · Filed under: Personal. Photos.
I haven’t written an entry in a couple of days, and this is why. Cute as that last layout was, I needed a change. Something simpler, light, and with a little owl (who for some reason always needs to make an appearance).
The past couple of days have been swell. I’ve been napping with my bird, eating cereal for lunch (and sometimes dinner too), watching reruns of Sex and the City, and writing letters by hand. There’s just something about writing letters by hand and sending them through the post that I absolutely love. I love the excited feeling I get whenever I go to my mailbox and find an envelope addressed to my name. As convenient as e-mail is, I just think handwritten letters are so much more personal. Not to mention tangible. I’ll be able to store these letters in a little keepsake for later reading and I love that.
Speaking of my mailbox, remember the tragic death of my old mailbox? Well since then I’ve gotten a new one, and it is very snazzy:
Talk about an upgrade. The downside? The mailbox is not in my front yard anymore. Now it’s next to my backyard, which is twice the trip I used to make, but the handwritten gems I get make it all worth it.
