Does anyone mail hand written personal letters anymore? The way technology has developed people are spending more time writing emails than the hand written letter. Let’s hope that the mailed letter will not end up like the eight track player. Maybe it’s because postage has gone up dramatically over the years? C’mon $.044 cents! Maybe long hand written letters are too arduous to tackle? Text speak with short cut techniques is faster that is for sure. Or is it that we just don’t know how to say things more than a sentence or two? With email so much part of our lives as well as hand held cell phones that are hooked up to web service, people are so much more connected.

Love letters once mailed by postage are now showing up in a person’s email box. I hate the thought that someday my kids would look at a hand written letter and ask – what is it daddy? That’s why I make it a point my kids hand write a personal thank you note to those who were nice to buy them birthday gifts. And it is so much more appreciated by those generous folks who want to keep the hand written letter alive too.
