In the years my penpalling habit has changed a lot. I would write to tens of people and would have penpals spread all over the world in my teens. I am now a grown-up, with very little time in my hands and I am focusing on the few close penfriends I already have. To each one of them I write long, thoughtful letters. I put myself in my mails and love to share my life ups and downs with my faraway friends.
Of course it's not very often that I receive letters at home. With 5 penfriends only I am lucky when I receive a letter per week. But I won't complain because them letters make my days brighter and keep me going untill I reach the next one!
This week I managed to send out a letter to my friend Melyssa in Canada. I'd been trying to write to her for a few days in a row, but everytime I sat down to write I was way too tired and couldn't manage to write anything decent. Finally I could relax during the first of the four days long weekend and managed to finally write a whole letter in one sit! (another habit that had to change in my letter-writing is that I hardly write a letter in one single sit, but ofter need more than one to finish a proper mail)
I received a letter this week from my dear friend in Hungary. She made a stationery of the sewing copybook I gave her for herbirthday earlier in February and I must say it looks so nice!
I am off now... Starting a letter for my American friend! I am in the right penpalling mood! YAY!
This is so lovely, I've always wanted to have a consistent penpal, but in this modern day of technology it is all to easy to send a quick text or email! It's such a great idea though and I may have to find someone to do it with again :)
