I send one or two handwritten cards and letters each month. I used to send more but I'm too busy to do that now. I really like the quiet hour or so I spend writing a letter to someone. It's a nice timeout from the busy world. And I know how lovely it is to find a card or letter in my mailbox, so it's nice to give that joy to someone else.
My handwriting has really deteriorated over the past 15 years, though, as I write less and less by hand.
