I was just thinking about this, and I have a minute, so I am writing this at 10:37 PM, while its on my brain and I have the time.
It is said no one write letters any more. Not this kind, the kind in type, on a monitor of some kind. but the kind on paper with a pen, in hand written words. I dont know the last time I wrote a letter. To anyone. I do like the old greetings though. Sometimes I think of writing a letter and starting it with one of those old fashioned greetings. From back when there was no other way to communicate long didtance. Before there was telephones, radios, or email.
I would love to be able to write a letter starting with My Dearest Dearling..............what ever the persons name would be. In between, in beautiful cursive, I would write all my deepest feelings. Everythng that has happened since my last letter, How I missed this person so, (not so much, just so). I would write about the horrid weather, the neighbors who we all know by the way. I would be ending the letter with All My Love Darling, till we see each other again. I would sign my name, and then put lip marks on the paper with newly applied lipstick.
OK, that is all rather dramatic. I wouldnt , or couldnt write a letter like that today. I would like to, but I couldnt get my hand to do it without laughing. I would be the only one to know i was laughing though, cus that is the way letters go. You just dont see the real reactions. Oh, if you could see my brain working now.
I have a long list of real addresses. I send Christmas cards every year, I try to anyway. I may juast sit down and write a few letters on pretty paper and send them out. They wont be in that pretty cursive though, cus mine isnt that great. I t may just be a trieal run on real letter writing. I will let you know how it goes, when I finally do it. its not a big deal, just a letter. But a letter you can keep. it is a hard copy. It only gets lost because you loose it.
Well, its time to get ready for work. so tell me, do you write letters? teh kind on paper, in and envelope with a stamp attached to it?
