[Old School Hound]

I still write letters to people I care for and I save everyone I receive. It means they took their time to express thoughts on paper and let me know by doing that, I am worth that time.

Good for you. I wish more people still did that. A text or email just isn't the same as taking the time out tro write someone something personal in your own handwriting. There's something so nice about getting a letter in the mail. We've lost a lot of our personal touch over the decades and that loss is far more insidious that what most people realize. We don't communicate in the same personal, intimate manner that we did in simpler times. It's like people today are always too busy with things that really dont matter; things that rob us of time spent with the people that should matter to us the most. Then you turn around one day and all those people that mattered most are gone. We're left with our machines and nothing else. Our days are spent living on the edge of nowhere...

I miss the days of just simple, good ol' country comfort at my grandparents' home back in the '70s. Life was so good back then. We thought it would never end. Oh, how wrong we were.
