I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  3. I still send out happy mail. I am noturious for getting a pic of my mom looking crazy and making a postcard and mailing it to family. The first person to rat to my mom is the loser, and also me, because then my mom calls me ….

  8. Girl Sadje, I still write letters and send greeting cards from time to time. Maybe not as much as I used to, but taking the time to write a letter is like a gift to many people ✍🏼✍🏼✍🏼 I still write to. Thanks for the memories my friend. 🥰💖🤗

      1. Oh goodness Sadje, I get where you’re coming from. I simply love the art of handwriting and while I know that texting is the popular means of communication these days, I still embrace the essence of not losing my sense of using my handwriting ability. Thanks for the memories my friend. 🥰✍🏼🤗

  9. I remember when I was in school, I used to write letters to my friend, but I used to give them to her by myself once the vacations get over😂.

    It’s different to what you said, but an amazing memory indeed😊

  10. I used to write lots of letters, and of course receiving a letter in the mail from someone was always a treat! I guess emails have become the main way to communicate by writing these days, but I sure miss actual letters. 🙂

  12. I have a friend who sends cards and notes but most people email. It’s wonderful to open the mailbox and see something other then ads and bills. That being said the only time I send mail is if it is a sympathy note, everything else is email. My bad.

  18. Indeed I do remember the time when we wrote letters! While I greatly appreciate the convenience of instant communication via the Internet, I must admit that an email has never had quite the same excitement and anticipation as the arrival of that hand-addressed letter in the post box!

  21. I used to have a few pen-pals… I enjoyed letter writing. Letter writing is a fading art.
    I used sealing wax too. Before the postal system charged more because the wax couldn’t go through the sorting machines. Occasionally you might still see sealing wax on the inside of an invitation.
