I personally think that while writing to someone, you can get everything out you want to say, without interruption, and they can do the same. When you read your message, you absorb what is typed, and really get to know a person. There's really no reason to keep anything back, since chances of ever meeting these buddies in person, is slim.
The more you write back and forth, the more you get to know the person.
I like to send pretty stationery with my e mails, and I think my e mail buddies enjoy them. What a small thing to be able to do to put a smile on someone's face.
You can send pictures, and let the other person get more of a sense of who you are.
I have a friend I've had for thirty nine years, but she works full time, and I don't get a chance to see her much, but I can e mail her, and we can keep in touch with each others lives.
I have another friend for twenty three years, and I am able to e mail her every day, or every other day, and keep in touch. We can send jokes to each other, or wise quotes, or prayers. Sometimes, since she is at work, I just send a picture with a "hi."
If she knows I'm having a rough time, shell send me a cute angel or something to make me feel better, and it does.
My aunt and uncle live in Texas, and I'm able to stay in touch, and send pictures, keeping them up on our family, showing them things we've done around the house, like the seven foot tomato plants I picked tomatoes from and sent to my uncle.
If I do anything on the inside or outside of the house, I can just take a picture, and send it to my e mail pals, instead of simply explaining it to them.
Besides adds and junk mail, I don't know anyone who doesn't enjoy a friendly note and a pretty picture to pop up on the inbox during the day. If you just go into images on your browser and do a search for a flower or a heart, etc., and save it to your documents, you can insert it into your e mail, too. Click in the square you type in, then go to insert at the top of your e mail, then picture, then browse, and go get the picture from your documents.
I know when I receive something special, it makes me feel cared about and loved. Wouldn't it be great if we all thought of that, and started sending more e mails with nice pictures? Millions of people feeling good. All that positive energy. All that good karma. And its so simple to do, and enjoyable to oneself as well. Now that you know how to do it, why don't you join me on my quest to make at least a few people smile each day?
