No, I'm not talking about that little shriveled up fruit that most folks either loathe or love in their homemade chicken salad. I'm talking about your "raisins". How your mama and daddy "raised" you.
Part of my "raisin" included handwritten thank you notes. Birthday gifts, favors, acts of kindness were acknowledged with a hand written thank you note. If a family friend had a death in the family - a handwritten sympathy note was sent.
Somewhere between then and today's texts, emails and private messaging, handwritten notes have become an anomaly. Think back if you will, to the last time you received a handwritten acknowledgement. That simple gesture, written, sealed, stamped and mailed more than likely brought you joy as you were going through the bills and pizza coupons.
