These notes, cards and letters from the past are wonderful treasures. I am glad that I can still remember how exciting it was to get a letter in the mail.

Letterwriting is an art that is declining.<br>My children have not experienced the joys that you<br>described so beautifully (of getting a hand-written<br>letter) and I fear that it has been replaced by an<br>impersonal technology. The price of progress can<br>sometimes replace a treasured relic, and I fear the<br>hand-written letters that I loved are among things<br>that will be lost to future generations. (Sigh!)

I think a handwritten letter means so much more than an e-mail. I still send out cards though for b-days and such. Some people dont even do that anymore. ..love, ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-28821679745164932342008-05-22T13:24:00.000-07:002008-05-22T13:24:00.000-07:00I myself have never been much of a letter writter....I myself have never been much of a letter writter.

There is something to be said about holding a letter in your hand that brings the whole face on the other side of the computer...a touch of realism. One such friendship has flourished to the point we get a couple letters per week from one another. To me when someone hands writes out whats going through their mind and how life is treating them, they are given you a part of them. I have to be careful as well because I suffer from Carpel Tunnel Syndrome on both wrist. Somehow I can't part with the beauty of this artform so easily.

I do write to people here at J-Land which is always fun to get a letter in the mail from someone that happens to be thinking of you. I think that its probably getting harder to send a letter in the mail now that the price of stamps is going up just like the price of gasoline. I find that I like receiving a letter in the mail from someone who is in a different part of the world. <br><br>If you would like I could send you my address so you could send me a letter and I could send you one if you would like. <br><br>I have to say that I think that it is wonderful that you shared this entry with us. I really enjoyed your thoughts on this subject. Do take care and thanks for this entry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-79071356107721809432008-05-25T23:00:00.000-07:002008-05-25T23:00:00.000-07:00I still write and send letters, three to six a wee...I still write and send letters, three to six a week. The thrill of getting a response in the mailbox, is worth the wait, it takes for my friend, to write back to me. I LOVE letter writing. But agree with you...
