A personal connection

I think we all get lost in the world of technology. Our children don't know what it was like to have to call someone when you needed to talk, that's been replaced by texting. Or to spend the afternoon outside building forts and playing in the mud, video games have sadly replaced that. I look around and see all the personal connections our society is losing. 
I remember being so excited when I got something in the mail, not email, snail mail :). I remember that feeling of love, excitement, wonder, just waiting to open that package or envelop. So today, I think we should all take a minute and think about what personal connections we have and our children have. 

What you'll need:
1. Pen or pencil
2. Paper
3. Envelope 
4. STAMPS

Yes'm you read that right! We are going to write LETTERS!!!! I am so excited to do this! I miss having pen pals and waiting for the response or other goodies to come in the mail. Lets show our children the importance of technology free connections. 
Make a list of friends and relatives that you and your child can write too. I bet the letters will be a well received surprise!


God Bless and Keep Smilin'
