curious thoughts

Hello all! I am only 45 years old,but feel like I'm 90 when it comes to technology. Computers weren't used when I was in high school and they weren't even that common when I was in college. I've been reading some blogs and found that so many people have so much to say. Some are quite gifted in the art of writing. Their descriptions of things, well, you just feel like you are seeing exactly what they are seeing. I don't know that what I have to say will be of any interest to anyone, but thought I would put my toe in and try to join the 21st century! I must admit, that I do miss the art of letter writing. I always used to enjoy getting a letter from a friend from far away. Seeing their handwriting on the envelope was a visual reminder that a part of them was in my hands. I know..... it's stupid,but it felt more personal. I could hold their letter in my hands and reread it at my leisure. I could smell them. Does anyone know what I mean? Now, I have to check my email, and though it is so much quicker than writing the old way, it just isn't the same. The only thing that has improved is my typing speed. At least one skill I learned in high school is still usuable! Hopefully as time goes on I will figure out how to add pictures and make this interesting to someone other than me. I'm sure my kids could help me, but I really want to try and do this on my own. Is anyone out there?
