I love to hand write letters. Stick a stamp on it and mail it to a friend. Just knowing they are going to walk to their mail box, expecting depressing bills, just to see a happy letter there just for them, makes me smile. I will be honest, I do have that tiny glimpse of hope they they would write me back, so I too can have that moment of unknown thrill. To no avail it never happens. Instead I get a call saying thank you, or an email in reply. There are two sides to this for me. I love taking time for my friends, and making them happy in a special way. Letting them know what they mean to me. The other side (shamelessly I admit) I would hope they would return the gesture. I know it is a terrible thing, to give something and expect something in return. Really, it is for me the giving, and not the getting. It has become the art of email, that make letters a dying art!
