Paying more attention

Decided yesterday that I would write one letter a month to my parents back home. Somehow email seems to have destroyed the old fashioned art of letter writing. There is something very personal, very special about a handwritten letter. Email is very impersonal. Easy, convenient to reply to, but misses the human factor.

It has been so long since I wrote something of significant length with a pen that I feel strange doing it. My hands shake a little, the handwriting seems to be a stanger's. Wierd when your own handwriting becomes strange to you. You write something, and then you wonder, did I write that? Seems disembodied.
