looking for snail mail postal buddies

[SeaFoamPen]

Hello everyone.

 

I am looking for more pen pals to experience the joys of broadening my horizons with new ideas and different perspectives - and maybe a little to justify the stash of ink I will never get through - but I can try!

 

I'm a 65 year old female who is recently retired and trying to decide how to design a new lifestyle. No children, no partner - looking for platonic friendships.

 

I live on an island off the west coast of Canada and there is a lot of natural beauty here, so I do enjoy my time outside - in the forest, by the sea, or in my garden - which is mostly au naturel because the critters won't have it any other way. I also have a parrot buddy - she's an old lady bird now - and we are very close.  I appreciate critical thinking, creativity, history, different perspectives, the simple things in life - and I'm sure we'll find something to chat about.

 

My background is in IT and I also have dabbled in a lot of things as I really enjoy learning. I am also a creative person and will soon start a good quality oil painting course, after many years of being a dabbler.

 

Not seeking any particular age or gender - just folks who like to chat about this and that, and share perspectives about where they are in life, being ok with the differences and also our shared human experience - just to make life a bit richer and also to make the simple things better - like having something show up in the mail box that brings a smile.

 

best wishes, thanks for stopping by, and shoot me a DM if interested, 

 

Cynthia

Hi Cynthia,

I advise you to post this introductory/explanatory message in the ‘Snail Mail Writing List’ thread.

I also advise you to have a look through its most recent posts to see whether anyone who has also posted on there recently piques your interest.
And to PM anybody with whom you think you might like to correspond.

 

I wish you good luck, and happy writing 

 

Slàinte,

M.

Hi Cynthia nice to see your thread, I will get a DM sent your way right away .

There's no need in my books to start getting inhibited about starting a new thread 🙂

Oh, I agree about that!

 

I only wanted to alert the OP to the existence of the other thread, so that she might be able to have a look through the recent posts in it; & hopefully find people with whom she might like to initiate correspondence, rather than only passively waiting for replies/PMs sent in reply to this thread.

 

My apologies to Cynthia - and to everyone else too - for wording my previous post ambiguously

No worries, Mercain.

 

I wasn't aware that I'd even done it - so appreciate you pointing it out.
