These past couple of years, I've become a letter writer. Mainly through the influence of my friends Abby and Laura. I wish people would write more letters. There's nothing like receiving a handwritten letter. It's so much more personal than an email. I received mail a couple of days ago, and I was completely ecstatic. I however, also correspond through email. And I like that too. I like the quickness, and that I save money by not buying stamps.
Staying in touch with people is marvelous; I wouldn't ever want to lose touch with so many people. Yet, the correspondence part takes time. I'm always amazed at how long it will take me to respond to an email or a letter. Most require at the least thirty minutes and some will take up to an hour. Yet, I'm willing to invest that time because I want to stay in touch with my friends. With Facebook, I think we must work harder to work harder at keeping our friendships and relationships growing. We're too willing to say we're staying in touch by reading their Facebook posts and liking their newest post.
However, I must conclude this post because I need to write some letters and respond to some emails.
