In the fast paced world we live in today, with computers and even cell phones readily available. The concept of writing a hand written note to family and friends has become a thing of the past. In today’s world, people rely on e-mail, instant messaging, and text messaging and online forums for contacting those closest to them.
Why not take the time to write something to a relative, something they can hold in their hand and keep through time to always cherish. A hand drawn picture sent to Grandma to hang on the refrigerator and show off to her friends. Is something much more precious then an electronic message to be read and deleted.
Time has changed the way we communicate with our loved ones. It has banished some of the things cherished most by many and replaced it with lightening speed electronic devices.
Every now and then, people should choose to forego the electronic form and sit down and write a letter to a close relative or friend. Give them something to hold dear, something real giving them a sense of the feelings behind it. Anyone can send an e-mail but is it truly direct? Why not send something in your own handwriting giving them a true sense of the feelings shared.
Sending an online e-mail or text message is just typing and clicking a button to send. Where as writing and mailing a letter is something thought out and real. People live in a physical world, not an invisible one. Sometimes touching the ink or pencil on the paper as they read a letter helps them to touch the writer and gain a true sense of the emotion behind it.
Once in a while, take the time to send a cherished memory rather then something that will be quickly glanced at and deleted forever.
