Sit down and write out a letter longhand to someone who will appreciate it. Put it in an envelope, add an old fashioned postage stamp, and drop it in the mail to your recipient. Be sure to get some evidence of your “snail mail” exchange, either by photographing your letter, or even better still, the reply you got back. Extra internet points if you write it to someone whom you do not know, but still feel a common connection.

Skip the filters and the art of cropping--we are going old school.....DESCRIBE your (or your character's) lunches! So whatever it is you're eating or ate earlier, or would love to eat, describe it! Don't be afraid to be silly, and don't skimp on the details. What color is it? What does it taste like? What does it remind you of? If you make it into a poem--that would be even better!
