Letters have a way of slowing you down. There is nothing better than the smooth glide of a fountain pen on paper. Write a few words, pause to think, capture those perfect words and write some more.  I recently started writing letters to a coworker’s child.  The child wrote back and before we knew it we became pen-pals.  It only took a few minutes and brought someone joy. Try writing a letter to someone you know. It does not have to be long just a few quick notes.
