Fabulous reminder that it’s not just about THEM but about US! I’m still sending New Year’s cards, but they always have a few lines of news. Unfortunately, today I’m mailing a sympathy letter.
Hi Felice, I just mailed two letters today for a group swap I'm in via Mojave Correspondence club. This month's theme was Stationery Addict. Every person is different and so are the contents of my letter as well as the surprise goodies.
I want to send you some mail, but I cannot find the card you sent me earlier in 2025 which is unusual because I save all cards and letters that I receive. I've looked in my plastic bins, in my desk, in my scrap boxes, etc. What I'm trying to say is that I need your mailing address. OMG, never mind. The light bulb just went off in my head. I started a new project where I'm using a binder to display all of my pretty mail. I just went to the binder, flipped a few pages and there your card was. I could delete this paragraph, but why erase my initial thought?
Anyhow, my brother and my aunt have the same birthday this month, so I will be mailing them birthday cards with long letters.
Felice, This is a great kick in the butt. I just mailed a letter to my cousin who I haven't spoken to since 2018. We didn't have a falling out or anything we just didn't keep in touch. After mailing it a sense of relief settled over me. I've been thinking of calling her but was embarrassed so much time had passed. So once again Thank you for the great advice.
Just before reading your newsletter, I wrote a note of encouragement to my niece, who lost her mom in October. We've been texting and talking by phone, but I felt compelled to sit down and write a heartfelt note today. As Liz Carpenter said, "You can't reread a phone call." I enjoy the music of Randy Houser, so that was a treat. What is also a treat each week is reading your inspiring and uplifting words, receiving the encouragement to keep writing in a world constantly dinging with emails and text messages. and your skill with a pen.
Thank you, Lisa! And I’m sorry about your loss. I hope your niece is doing Ok, and I’m sure your being there is a comfort. And I know your letter will brighten her day during this tough time. Thank you for sharing that quote by Liz Carpenter. I’d never heard and it’s so true! Glad you enjoyed the song this week. I’m always writing a note to self. Keep smiling!
You crack me up! Glad you found my address. I'm excited to get another letter from you. :) And what a fun group to be a part of! I'd be eager to hear what you got in the swap. And the best birthday presents are letters! And cake, but mostly letters! xo

Thanks, and how great to write new year's cards. Bummer about the sympathy card...I sent many of those last year...
Love that! A letter is the perfect way to reconnect. Keep me posted on if your cousin responds!
