Today I did some laundry and sewing, read at my doctor’s appointment and then picked up some fabric for the new dress I’ve starting making! This time I’m older, wiser, and more patient with the process and won’t do dumb things like decide I don’t need to pin before sewing 🤦🏽‍♀️🧵

Today’s my day off of clinic and I’m at a local cafe feeling cozy and ready to study. One of my favorite winter moments is a lovely snowy winter morning when I don’t have anywhere to be.

coal and crayons on paper

[maderefined]

“Because sending a letter is the next best thing to showing up personally at someone’s door. Ink from your pen touches the stationary, your fingers touch the paper, your saliva seals the envelope, your scent graces the paper. Something tangible from your world travels through machines and hands, and deposits itself in another’s mailbox; their world. Your letter is then carried inside as an invited guest. The paper that was sitting on your desk, now sits on another’s. The recipient handles the paper that you handled. Letters create a connection that modern and impersonal forms of communication will never replace.”
