Not So Traditional

It really was not that long ago when sending and receiving letters through the mail was traditionally how we connected.  Yes we had phones but they didn't take away from that intimate relationship of pen and paper.

Today connecting with other people happens on screens with likes and followers, friends in circles and tweets we recapitulate...Who on earth thought that something with the word 'tweet' in it would ever be taken serious!

I must confess I have been slow to get on the band wagon, it was only when my youngest daughter married and moved away that I started a personal Instagram account.  Did I really want to be held up for my daughter to take a picture, have it processed then wait for the mail...only to be told later it got lost!

As alluring as technology is, none of  it will ever take away my infatuation with ink and paper, I am still hopelessly in love...It will only make it that much more treasured.
