Some of the fondest memories I have are lessons, I learned from my Gram.  It's been a little over a year since she has passed but there are so many things that come to my mind when holidays come around. Today, is no different. My Gram was fond of writing letters, sending cards for all occasions, and once she was versed on Facebook... forget about it. 

I still believe in the importance of pen pals, sending out cards for family and friends, and this past December I really wanted to do a family newsletter in honor of my Gram. She was always the cheerleader for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.  I couldn't have been more blessed to have this woman in my life. My love of writing comes from her. 

Today I challenge you to write a letter. Write a letter to yourself, your spouse, or to your children.  E and I kept a notebook for days when we didn't feel like talking. It is one of my cherished memories and keepsakes. It kept us present for each other even when our schedules didn't always allow for physical time. Get your creative juices flowing or simply release what is in your mind. Share it with us, burn it, or save it for a keepsake. Your word is yours written or spoken.
