A day or so back i saw "the Lake house", i remember seeing it a couple years back and i really liked the film. A romantic film with a bit of time traveling is just my kind of thing on a cold and cloudy day. There is quite a lot letter correspondence happening in the film and that just made me think how much i miss that. Times have changed. Don't get me wrong i think its great that we can text people and say a quick hi, ask how they are doing or just leave a little message. I still miss my snail mails though. Hand written letters where the handwriting was so bad you had to ask yourself: what does it say? Today if i ever get a letter its written on a computer and then it is just signed (if even that) by the person who wrote it. To really think about it the only thing popping into my mail box are bills, information or advertisement from various companies. I miss my post cards! Today wether it is Christmas or you go abroad on a holiday you send a e-card or a text message. It is cheaper, faster but less personal in a way. Really it could serve as a nice compliment to a card. Call me old fashion but nothing says "ah, they are really having a relaxing holiday" then that little post card you get in a mail box with a picture of a palm tree on the beach.
