I have friends that are very good at doing that.<\/p>\n<p>I feel so special, cherished and loved.<\/p>\n<p>I have a serious disorder.  I didn&#8217;t know how bad it was until a few years ago.  I used to LOVE writing people letters and notes.   I love paper.  I love buying paper.  I have a full box of various stationary  that I packed when we moved marked &#8220;Reema&#8217;s paper.&#8221;<br \/>Yet over the years I find sealed envelopes that are addressed stashed in various places.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t seem to MAIL things!  The act of physically putting something in the mailbox is where I suffer tremendously.<\/p>\n<p>I finally have accepted the fact that I do not mail things.  <\/p>\n<p>I opened my mailbox and there was a lovely note from one of my cousins.  He does not have a computer.  No email&#8230; the occasional phone call&#8230; back to the middle ages.<\/p>\n<p>So I read a lovely letter from him, catching up on his life.<\/p>\n<p>Then I realized that it is only fair that I reply him.  I doubt typing it would be polite.<br \/>And then I have to MAIL it!<\/p>\n<p>I have not done this in so long.  I am over due.  <\/p>\n<p>Have we lost the art of writing to each other?  I have to admit part of the annoyance is that I have to WAIT for a while for a reply.  No instant gratification.  <\/p>\n<p>Snail mail has a whole new meaning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you ever open the mailbox to a hand written note?
