Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

I love receiving letters, cards and postcodes.

Often received; if written by someone on holiday; days after that person has returned home.

Use this space however you like as though you are writing a letter to someone with whom you relate to in real life.

You might want to say something to that person, or persons and not be given the opportunity.

Families can be so very judgemental and cause much hurt and pain.

This is a way of writing to tell someone how you truly feel; good or bad.

Just read along if this is not your style.

Carry on with your own preference of using the forums.

This is just an idea.

Sometimes we do not know that we might enjoy something different unless we try.

Writing letters can be very therapeutic and a special way of releasing pent up feelings without the person knowing.

Lastly, in writing a letter, you need not put their name or title.

You might like to address the letter as dear friend, or dear family member; dear doctor; dear psychiatrist; dear pet.

Think outside of the square and write about what you would really like to say.

Good luck

Sophia

Welcome to the world of writing and receiving letters via virtual post

I tried to find the article that you had written noted below and was unable to.

I also had 3 more red authentification tickets for merely trying to click on support on here.

Thank you for you offer of help

Tigger/Sophia is just walking away from the technical side of the forums with her hands up in the air.

All too hard.

I would rather spend my time writing and or supporting members.

I very much appreciate your time and patience spent along with your ambition to resolve the issues.

All the best

Sophia

Maybe Tigger could ask Christopher Robins' Mum for her copy of a baby naming book to help find Aloysius a user name?

Now there's a point @Oaktree

Tigger wanders off even further looking for something still....

He has been deep in thought because his good friend Eeyore has been looking after him as well as encouraging him to be bouncy again.

Tigger is in search of a user name.

He has no idea what that means as the term user does not sound very nice really.

Does that mean that the name being used by the person, wildlife, birdlife, fauna, reptile, insect, mythical creature is fake!

Oh dear Oh bother....oh no that is Winnie the Pooh talk.

Well perhaps he might find some other characters instead as he has had no success whatsoever with user names on several occasions.

What was it Eeyore said something about finding another name.......

@Oaktree

Finding Aloysius whom I keep thinking is........ St Aloysius...a user name

That does not guarantee that he will be able to join in as a guest though..........

I think that we need to come up with some more characters.

We appear to have lost a few along the way.

I hope that we didn't drop them off somewhere and forget to pick them up...

What about if we were playing hide and seek and forgot to tell them that the game had finished...

Now what was it I was looking for oh yes that was it .............a name

Dear Friends,

Eeyore is feeling gloomy again, she was so busy enjoying the little groups adventures that she hadn't noticed that some of the group had gone missing. Tigger was right! Maybe indeed they are all playing hide and seek and they forgot to get found? Eeyore is hoping that they come back to the group because it's more fun with friends.

All my love,

Eeyore

Dear Forest Friends,

Kanga is happy this morning as she has not reacted to her Covid vaccination! She was delighted to see Gumnut Baby had posted a cooee from up in the tree. She hops quietly over to Eeyore and gently snuggles up to her, whispering comforting words. She reassures Tigger and Eeyore that the story can continue, despite absent friends.

Eeyore confides in Kanga that she is all out of thistles, which are her preferred food. Kanga immediately proposes to the band of friends that they go on an Expedition To Find Thistles. She asks Horrace whether he feels up to coming...Horrace says he would feel OK if he could travel in Kanga's basket. Kanga tucks an excited Roo into her pouch along with Gumnut Baby and Little Bee, and they set off, with Eeyore leading the way, as she knows the best places in the Forest for The Finding Of Thistles. Rabbit also carries a basket, containing snacks for the friends and room for more Thistles.

Dear Pooh and friends.

Bonjour, my name is Sooty and I'm a black cat with green eyes. I am very much enjoying your adventures. You and your friends are so clever. I hope it is ok that I said hi. I'm very much a typical cat - humans annoy me most of the time except for when its feeding time, then they are the best.

Speaking of food, I'm a very lucky black cat. I get the NDIS so sometimes they go and buy me food when I'm frightened or too tired to get out of my cosy little bed. I think I must be a strange cat because I don't like fish but I love pizza. Supreme is my favourite.

I don't talk very much, so I might just hide behind a bush and watch your adventures for awhile. Then again being a whimsical little fellow, I might just pop by briefly and join the fun. You never know with Sooty - playful and mischievous sometimes, or quiet and reserved at others.

I also have an amazing ability for a cat. I can read, but I've never read Winnie the Pooh or many other children's books. When I was a kitten things were very unpleasant. But now I'm grown up things are so much better.

My memory isn't very good so please forgive me if come to play and forget whose who and what the previous adventure was. I might even repeat myself but that's because I'm getting old, but such is life.

Actively idle,

Sooty the Black Cat 🐈

Dear Friends,

Welcome Sooty, you must be the cat our friend Tigger was talking about that was seen at her secret garden hut. We love all kinds of creatures and we are very glad that you have come out of hiding long enough to introduce yourself to us. Maybe you are an Italian cat and that's why you love pizza. I wonder if you like coffee also? I love cream on my coffee, the whipped kind and can imagine that cream dripping off your chin. Of course you are welcome to hide or to take part in adventures - whatever you are comfortable with really. It's up to you.

All my love,

Eeyore

Hello to all the participants in this story. I believe that I may, in some ways, have similar characteristics to Sooty the black cat. Our respective educations may have been sadly neglected, in as much as neither of us have read the Winnie the Pooh stories.

I admire the inventiveness and playfulness of all the participants. I also identify at various times, with some of the more serious and personal aspects of the additional parts, that are more to do with peoples' own experiences.

While I have followed most of the story so far, it was actually Sooty who coaxed me into writing myself into the story. Indeed, I am a little anxious about the words “writing myself into the story.”

The “inner child” aspect of my being is one that, I think, has not been well developed. Most people consider me to appear rather serious. I have even been asked whether I have a sense of humour at all, though I know that I have.

As I have been reading the adventures and playfulness of the participants, I have wondered what I could offer and what might return to me, should I insert myself into the story. Also the question about how I could participate.

I also notice that there are a number among the participants who share that sense of wariness about close associations with others, and tend to be cautious about getting “too close or involved”. And yet, I also understand the pleasant feelings described in some of the mutual support and cosiness “scenes”.

@Appleblossom While I understand the reason for the thistle not being popular here, I do love the emblematic presentation in your post earlier. Maybe a reflection of my heritage.

With Best Wishes to All

HenryX
