The Beginning

We all have experienced it. Too much technology can cause lack of social interaction, delayed social development and mental health issues. When WIFI is down, the whole world seems to crumble. Have you ever seen a child ‘s face when their internet was disrupted? They have a look of bewilderment, confusion, loss and worry. Seemingly not knowing what move to do next. I feel that growing up in a world where technology was not at the forefront is a huge advantage to those who have experienced it.

Before texting became a popular activity, I always enjoyed writing on decorative paper. When writing, I always like to use a pen rather than a pencil. My favorite pens are gel pens, but the ink always runs out fast.

I often wrote letters to my classmates and gave them to them in the hallways. I regularly wrote letters to my aunt and uncle, too. They often seemed excited to receive my letters. I think getting letters and cards in the mail from them was always nice. I make it a habit to save the letters and cards I get from them and everyone else.

The best thing in the world is to pull out my stash of letters and cards and read everything that I have forgotten about. It often puts a smile on my face and joy in my heart.

One of the reasons that AREA Greetings was started is because sending cards is such an inexpensive way to show someone that you care. As well, it tells the person that you took the time to find the perfect card, write the perfect message, and drop it in the mailbox. Sending Greeting cards are the perfect way to show someone special in your life that they are valued.
