When is the last time you received a personal letter?

A personal letter, not a letter from the bank etc... Maybe a letter from a loved one, or friend from overseas. Now, with e-mails, sms, skype, it is instant to hear news. But do you miss getting those letters, with the beautiful exotic stamps, and the feeling of having them nearer to you, with their handwritting. I certainly do! Did you keep all of your love letters?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Those past years, they just seem to me like dreams. It makes me nostalgic when I recall those times when I used to wait and wait for a letter and the postman will come by and hand a letter to my immediate neighbor and when I eye-contact him, he would just shrug his shoulders.

Yes, we have changed and time too has changed. In fact, we have changed with the time. Sometimes, with all these emailing, pod-casting, text messaging, chatting, wireless and other means of instant communication, I feel like I have started becoming less communicative. Sometimes, I avoid people and hardly want to communicate. Like the benefit (or loss) of answering machine - you don't want to take a call, you have a machine to answer. But what you actually have done is that you simply have told a lie that you are not available at that point in time. Instant messaging is a plus in hundreds of ways but it has its minuses too.

Now, I don't receive letters anymore. What I receive by post is telephone bills, notices, ads, etc. But still there are a few who love communicating through letters. I have seen even some young boys and girls who have carried on with this beautiful tradition of communicating through letters.

Sometimes, I feel like behaving as Mr. Bean did by sending a Christmas card to his own address and receiving it himself, happily and with genuine curiosity and a feel of contentment that at last I have received a letter from someone, special.

I think it's very sad that letters are becoming nearly a thing of the past. When I came to live here, in Croatia years ago, this was the highlight for me, receiving that wonderful airmail envelope. Yes, e-mail is a wonderful thing, but I still think you can express yourself, somehow better, in a letter. With everything today, it's doing things quickly, like an e-mail. When people wrote letters, they gave it some extra thought.I would hope, that parents will still teach their children, how to write a letter.

To be honest with you, it's been a very very long time. Now days people just call, text or e-mail! I actually don't even remember the last PERSONAL letter!

Hope I Helped!

I Receive about 3 personal letters in a year for sure and they are sent by a lovely client of mine who is about 86 years old and she makes sure to send a letter to all her friends which Includes me.

Off course I still receive a lot many other general letters.

I my self when I travel outside also send letters to my selected friends and my children :) They may not be valuing it as much but I am sure one day they will remember me just because of that :)
