After I comment, I’m going to order some monogrammed stationary. It’s been way too long since I’ve had my own.

After I comment, I’m going to order some monogrammed stationary. It’s been way too long since I’ve had my own.
I am a stationary & paper collector. I have a few aged, but clean pieces my great grandmothers stationary and some from my parents’—W for Welch c. 1963.
When I cleaned out my step-father’s house after my mom died I found generations of letters, correspondence, postcards. At least full 10 boxes. They ranged from ‘it’s beautiful here and we’re having a great time’ to ‘if you want to repossess the Buick know we are divorced and you’ll find him at the bar on ** Street most nights’. Mail isn’t personal anymore. We text. We text and say, is now a good time to call. It’s a totally different era.
When you described your location I couldn’t help but imagine you forest bathing. I wanted to know the Japanese word for it, “Forest bathing, also known as shinrin-yoku in Japanese, is a therapeutic practice that involves spending time in nature to connect with it through your senses. The goal is to be calm and quiet, and to live in the present moment.”

Now the song, “I’m going to sit right down and wrote myself a letter” by the Ink Spots is stuck in my head as I get up to have coffee and sourdough with butter and strawberry jam. 💕😘💌
I’m laughing about your monogrammed stationery — such a throwback, I think, but I do get the sense that some of us (all from a certain point in time) have a memory of that. What a fascinating treasure trove of letters and notes it sounds like you found in your mother’s things. Wow! Thank you for the forest bathing note — shinrin-yoku. Great emoji depiction, too! Love that. — I had never heard the Ink Spots song (that others agreed with you about). Too funny. Thanks for reading - and good to see you today.

Forest bathing! Yes it works.

I'm now stuck singing it too 😂😂😂
