Do all our lives center around online social networking rather than the good old fashioned face to face contact, or is that not 'La Mode' these days? Are we all just too busy with our own lives to find time to maintain the relationships that are important to the healthy sustainability of our lives?
Whatever happened to hand written letters sent off with a kiss? Ahh, the joy of receiving unexpected letters in the mail. All that time spent clicking the refresh button, we could have already met a friend for coffee or had a nice leasurely walk.
Over the past few years, I have made it a goal of mine to mail letters to friends and family from afar. A letter in the mail carries more depth and appreciation than a text message or email ever will.
