I have one final thought I’d like to add to the blog below. In defense of the people who don’t write back: Often times, I think they intend to. I can think of plenty of times (pre-letter lover) when I meant to write someone back and didn’t. Even now, I might mean to write someone back on Tuesday but it doesn’t end up happening until the following Wednesday. We all have the best of intentions when it comes to keeping in touch with people, don’t we? (Is now a good time to say The road to Hell is paved with good intentions? =)

I leave envelopes on my desk and in plain sight until I’ve written back. I’m OCD when it comes to my desk space, so being able to move the envelopes from my desk to my letter box is often what gets the job done. Whatever it takes! Perhaps people who don’t write back put the letters away too quickly—leaving no visual reminder to respond. Or sometimes, too much time can go by and they think What’s the point of writing back now? We know that there’s always a point and just have to keep spreading that word.
