Letter on the way to a lovely penpal!


Postcards on the way!

Oh LetterMo, you've been fun,
I've met many new people during this run.
Will connections last beyond the month, I'm not sure
but writing is easier now and I feel more secure.

I've really enjoyed LetterMo this year, it's be fun and challenging for me.  My first letters started out as more of a statisical roadmap of myself and my interests and evolved to just being me.  If I were to write you a letter this morning, it would more than likely start like this:

Hello,

When I arrived at a conscious state this morning, cold air was the first thing I noticed, reminding me that I forgot to turn on the heat last night.  Staying in bed was my first choice but my sweet little pup Primrose was just happy I was awake and she wanted to start the day.  I managed to drag myself out of the snuggly warmth of my bed and headed straight for the heater...turned it on!  Next stop, kitchen for hot tea and breakfast for Prim.  She's so happy in the morning's she literally bounces sideways, really a cute sight to see. 

No more pressure to write a certain way or try to be interesting enough, I just write and hope it's received well on the other side.

Has your writing changed during LetterMo?  Did you start out one way and end up another?  Are you more comfortable now?  Do you think the connections you've made will last beyond February?

Lovely mail arrival from the USA & Italy. 

Mail time is such a fine time
opens my mind time
shows me what others
see, feel and think!

I don't know about you but I've been blessed by a lot of new friends and Hello's in the mailbox lately! The pics today don't do justice to what's arrived inside these envelopes but I've been so busy writng and sending that taking pics took a back seat...for now.

 
Mail arrival has been wonderful lately.  A lovely Valentine's card from my penpal in Singapore, handmade envelopes from Ria, a return letter from a new penpal/lettermo participant in the USA, letter from a penpal in Denmark, and a sweet card from a another lettermo participant that also lives here in Texas.
