Stack of Letters from the Past

05/02/2012 by Sandra Leave a Comment

This is a stack of letters that I wrote and have not received replies just yet. I am not sure if these pals have moved on and gotten bored with writing or maybe it was me who put them to sleep. hmm I hope it wasn’t me who put them to sleep. Nice thing is that in reading my letters to them I can remember small episodes in my life I had forgotten. Always a good twist to a bad thing.

One Lonely Letter Received Among all the Junk Mail

Grrr I wish I could find something productive to do with the junk mail

Pen Friend Musings – The lost friend

As I was looking through my box of past letters I notice something. A few good pals have not replied back to my last letter, some as far back as 6 months.

Their lives may have gotten busy or life happened and they have not gotten back to responding. I tend to hold on to these letters for quite a while and I am not sure why. I think I hope that once life settles down they will again pick up pen and paper and write about what has being going on in their life. I don’t mind waiting for a reply if I have a feeling if in the slightest that it is coming. Maybe a quick email or post card saying

Hey a letter will be on it’s way as soon as I get things in order or something.

but no all I hear is silence. Well I will never know or have an answer to this question but.. Why do good pen friends go missing?

Well, my list today includes the following:

The maintenance type stuff yada yada, not all is on there the list would be never ending.

Laundry
Dishes
Teaching (this one is a must can’t even think of skipping this one)

Then there is the stuff that I have given myself the next few weeks to do such as:

De-cluttering my bathroom
De-cluttering my Room

These are the big ones for now more to come I am sure later. Don’t want to make the list to long as it might overwhelm me.

What are some of your plans for de-cluttering?

What Drives Me Batty About A Pen Friend

04/30/2012 by Sandra Leave a Comment

Went to the mailbox the other day to see if I had any mail waiting. I was so glad to see two letters and pull them out and immediately my smile turned to a smirk. Warning a dose of sarcasm coming at you, you have been warned.

What could I have seen in this mailbox that gave me a look of oh poop not again well it’s

a tiny letter. It was so small when I opened the envelope I had a hard time finding the darn letter. It gripes me to no end that someone month after month can take the time and effort to write down 5 lines on a sheet of tiny note paper. On top of that they have to pay postage to send such letter on it’s way. Come on people put a little effort in it and write a regular letter. It really isn’t that difficult and I know you can do it.

See like this nice example I found on the net, it doesn’t even have to be on fancy paper, or typed. As long as I can read it and it’s a letter with content all else can be over looked.

Fortunately, I get only like two or so of these a month so that I am thankful for. Ok I will get off my soap box now, back to regular posting.
