Keanu Reeves - Letters are something from you. It's a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail

Welcome to the Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm Andrew McGivern for December 7th.Today is National Letter Writing Day. Pen. Paper. Your thoughts. Nothing else required.Before the invention of the telephone followed by the internet, email, smart phones, and social media... hand writing a letter was the only way to communicate with other people across physical distances.Today is all about going back to the art of sitting down and writing a letter by hand and sending it to someone.Which brings us to today's quote from Keanu Reeves who once said:

"Letters are something from you. It's a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail."Reeves gets it. Emails are efficient. Letters are intentional.You choose paper. Find a pen. Sit down. Think. Form words by hand.That takes time. That requires presence. That's the point.Today, write one letter. By hand. To anyone.Not an email. Not a text. A letter.Reeves is right. It's a different intention. And maybe a better one.That's going to do it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern signing off for now but I'll be back tomorrow.
