Hand-written notes are a rarity these days. People text or tweet, hit the send button, and voila! Instant delivery. I’m guilty of choosing the path of least resistance myself even while I value the art of a beautifully executed note.
One day last week I was walking between shops in northeast Tallahassee when I spotted a folded slip of paper on the sidewalk. (I marked it up to protect the recipient’s privacy.)
Intrigued I picked the paper up and looked around. No one was near me, so I opened the note. You’d have done the same, right?
Ignore the questionable spelling and the substitutions of “U” for “you” and “2” for “to”. This is an encouraging note. I’d have been pleased to have received such a missive.
My friend Flo in Tennessee writes great notes. She finds humorous cards and sends along her thoughts in lovely cursive.
My friend, Lila, also has a knack for notes:
While writing this post I realized that I have saved two huge files filled solely with hand written notes! Some are silly, some sweet, some outrageous. As I went through them I realized they’d fill up a binder. I think I just found a project for this year. I might need to stock up on tissues, though. Tears might be shed.
Peace, people.

You have amazing friends! Notes are something of a bygone era. Letters literally a thing of a past generation, or two. Reading just the notes you showed us caused a smile and a tear to dampen my cheek.

Amazing notes and you are right about handwritten notes these days. A few months back I brought out old records…we have player and I had made covers for some from postcards. Well they were falling to bits so I took them to bits. What a trove. A window on a gone time in so many ways.

May I suggest some kind of “Junk Journal” Pinterest has many examples, and there is also a really good group on facebook called Friendly Junk Journal People. X
