Letters.

Hello blogger world,

I know it's been a long time since I've written here, but I've been sick for over a week now & I just had my incredible 17th birthday. & now, I'm getting prepared for June to come & head off to camp for the whole month, but I know God has a lot in store for me so, I'm getting ready!

I read something today that a friend had said, & she said that the postal services are thinking about not running mail on Saturdays...what's that about?? Is everything going to be internet related before we know it? Are my children even going to know what letters by mail is? Or is that going to be really old history?

It's crazy. Letters by mail need to be written more these days..! I enjoy actually sending a card to someone & knowing it might take a couple days to get there but they'll see that I invested time into those words I wrote them.

These days there is internet, Facebook, e-mail, Twitter, texting, It's crazy. You no longer need to see much less hear that persons voice to speak to them or tell them something important. Just text it, no big deal.

WRONG. There is something so beautiful about letters, & seeing someone pour their heart into those words they have just shared with you, & you alone. It's exquisite. It's lovely.

Boy, it must sound like I'm mad...I'm not. I promise. I just want letters to become something again. Something you write to someone & place it in the mailbox & 2 or 3 days later they call you & thank you for it.

I have a box filled with letters from a friend...or should I say 'friends.' & they are beautiful. They mean more to me then a 'text' will ever mean. The words you write show your beautiful heart written through out the card. In my writings I let my heart be free to be me. I run free through out my writings & letters.

I've come to find out that something you'll begin to know about me if we're really close. I write letters...like crazy. I enjoy encouraging people & letting them know that they are loved in this world that is crazy a lot of the time. But, the people you truly love & care for, you'll make time for them. You make time to sit down & write out your thoughts into a card. You just will.

I'm a writer. I guess that's why this subject is so important to me. Never let the written word die. Don't let this world get too 'high tech' for us. Something's just shouldn't change.

--I know it's been awhile since I've written on here, & I'm sorry for that. But, I hope to write more here soon. When I start to feel better I'll write. I'm feeling it's time for another one of my 'lists.' :)

Goodnight beautiful world.
