DO: send somebody a handwritten letter.
I know that sending somebody a handwritten letter might sound like a cliché DO, but it really is one of those special things in life. There’s nothing like receiving a letter in the mail that somebody took the time to write and send you. It’s such a heart-felt gesture. I don’t know about you, but I keep almost every letter anybody has ever sent me. These notes have sentimental value. It’s fun to look back and read them; I can only imagine how happy I’ll be to have them when I’m old and wrinkly. Spend some time and let somebody know that you miss them, how much you love them, or just catch them up on what’s new. Package it up prettily, and then send it off the old snail mail way. They’ll be so happy to open it up when it arrives. It will become a part of their memories that lives forever.

I do this for everyone’s birthday for both family and friends! I started doing it a little over a year ago and now everyone looks forward to the notorious “Livy Letter”. :^)
I was just ruminating on the simple beauty of letter-writing, too! Timeless is the physicality of handwritten expression – the personality in paper choice, the intricacies of individualized handwriting.. See more on my blog’s letter writing post:
