Slowing Down
I was reading in the most recent GOOD magazine about the need to just...SLOW DOWN. We're so caught up in getting things done fast, that we often don't take the time to appreciate what's going on around us. One specific article was talking about how our thirst for speed in technology, has left the art of writing letters to one another, an ancient practice. There is so much that comes with writing and receiving letters. The time and energy that goes in to writing, and then the nebulous wait for when a letter might actually come (or if it'll even come)...that's what we need more of today.
SO, I've taken it upon myself to write letters to my friends. I think it will help me connect with people in a different way, and it'll be a fun experiment to see how slowing down can affect my overall lifestyle.
Conveniently, I accidentally bought 100 stamps today at the post office. I asked for a roll and paid with my credit card without really thinking twice. (For some reason I thought stamps came in rolls of 24) It wasn't until I was back in the office that I realized I had been charged $44!
$44 is a lot of money, but if I can invest it in this little fun experiment of mine, I think I've gotten myself quite the deal.
If you want a letter, I shall consider writing you one. Email me your address
