I am so much a cruisador for writing handwritten letters that I try to write whever I can. If not a complete letter, all gifts carry my personal note to friends and relatives. Recently, my son wrote to my parents. And I could see so much excitement around! My son was so excited to have written it, and my parents were excited at the thought of receiving it!!! And they were so so happy when the letter finally came! And then they wrote back..I guess its just the initial inertia that prevents one from writing. Once it happens, it continues to happen coz of the immense joy and happiness that it brings!!! I wrote a piece on handwritten letters sametime back on this site."Ah! The Warmth of Handwritten Letters!".Go thru it..it'll evoke similar thoughts! :) http://tickledbylife.com/index.php/ah-the-warmth-of-handwritten-letters/ Hi Axee, Wonderfully penned down!

I had several hours a day with nothing to do. I began to write letters to friends and family, one by one. I often think about the months I spent in that job, and how clear my thinking was at the time. Reading you post here made me think again that perhaps the connection from brain, down the arm to the fingers holding the pen, and the contact with the paper acted like a conduit clearing "stuff" from my mind. I too must do it again... I have the paper. I have the pen. I have envelopes. I have access to postage too. The post box is also there…a few feet away from my home. ... but will I? about 25 years ago I had a job that required very little from me. I had several hours a day with nothing to do.

I too must do it again…
I have the paper.
I have the pen.
I have envelopes.
I have access to postage too.
The post box is also there…a few feet away from my home.

… but will I?
