Writing to soothe my soul

And so after a three month hiatus, I have decided to write again. I think it was President George H.W. Bush who lamented the advent of the internet because of the dearth of written letters. At first I thought that he was just remembering with longing a simpler time but I find myself agreeing with him. Written letters are far more superior than e-mails, if less convenient and quick. Written letters are preferable because you can physically touch them and file them away. Noone else but you can look at them. You can take it with you wherever you go. You can’t fold up a laptop or desktop in your pocket. You don’t have to charge your letters like you would a palm pilot. Simpler but efficient. I think I missed out on treasure by not writing in a journal all these years. A record that I actually existed. A record so that my kids could look at and relate.
