to write a letter

Press the pause button on life. Take a minute to breathe. Think about who might want or need an encouraging word. Maybe someone needs to know you love them. Maybe your heart needs to communicate in order to keep going. Get out your favorite pen (or pencil for any savages out there). Find some stationery, lined paper, or notecards. Let your fingers feel the hum of the paper's texture. Choose. Choose the first word—Dear, Dearest, a name. Then let your mind rest upon the page. Write a few words or many, but be sure to write truth and love. Take a minute to breathe. Press the start button once again and put the letter in the mail.
