It's been a while...

... since I've written anything. I've been trying to train myself to new habits and do the more important things first. Checking and writing my blog is one of the last things I do unfortunately, though keeping in touch with my friends is very important and I'm trying to find more time to write. It is easier for us to sit down and type out an e-mail then to sit down and write a letter, put an address on it, and walk it to the mailbox. But I'm sure everyone admits getting a letter is far more fun and personal. I love getting and sending letters. My Grandpa and I wrote each other for years. From the time he had his stroke until a week before he died. After he died I asked my Grandma for the letters I had written him. Since she had on use for them I got nearly all of them back. I'm not sure what happened to the rest of them. I miss writing him and have tried to replace his letters with other penpals. Most of them don't see and appreciate a correspondence like I do. Somehow they weren't taught the value of a person willing to take time and write. I must confess that I have also not been steady in my writing as I felt the other people aren't like my Grandpa, so why should they care if I wrote or not? Ahhh... listen to me ramble on. You'd think my grandpa died yesterday the way I'm moping. Sorry if I depressed anyone. Luarie
