Today I wrote to my husband's Mother.
Same card as the one I sent to my Grandma.
I charted out who I was going to write to over the next month, so as to keep track.
I will post my list up here, but I'm a little reluctant to do so, for fear that I may see all those names and fear will overpower me and I'll be buried alive by letters and stamps of my own insecurities.
I will mostly write to the same 10-20 people over the year, but I do recall seeing an online service for pen-pals I think I should try that some time.
This is something very new and scary for me, letting others see how bad my penmanship, grammar and spelling are.
That is why I am starting off with people who know me and all my writing mishaps.
I may venture out into the bold, brave world of pen-pals, but I am not sure.
Where is that website.
Just in case you would like to try something new and crazy, here you go...

If I can take the plunge you can too.
Maybe you won't be as crazy as me, maybe you'll do just one a week, or two a month?
Either way, I think doing this is no matter how you slice it is good. Words are good, writing is good, the written word is going away.
Try it, you might like it.
