Here in the Northeast and in most of the USA we have had a severe winter storm leaving several parts of the country without electricty.
I'm greatful and am counting my blessings
that I still have power and heat.
I started to think about how awful it would be if the grid went down. These winter storms can have a way of making us feel isolated from our loved ones.
We can't trvael to see them and vs.
So much of our communication depends on electricity.
Emails, phone calls, and social media keep us instantly connected—but they can disappear just as quickly during an outage or disruption.
If the grid were to go down, our need to stay in touch with friends and family would remain. In those moments, handwritten cards and letters would no longer be a nostalgic pastime—they would be a necessity.
Paper doesn’t need power.
A handwritten note can travel quietly, carrying reassurance, love, and presence when digital communication isn’t possible.
Perhaps this is a gentle reminder to keep
the art of correspondence alive now. To be prepared, and to rediscover the beauty of words written by hand.
Do you have envelopes and do you have stamps as well?
it's time to be prepared because
when and if the grid goes quiet, our words can still travel !
Until next time,
irma
