Communication is an art (and a large time consumer)

I have spent the greater portion of today (my so-called day off) writing the latest newsletter for the shop. Although not a difficult task, it IS a time consumer, especially for me who is not technologically fluent. I use one of the leading programs which provides templates and allows you to use pictures of your own as well from their image library. In theory, a very simple process, but in practice? Still takes several hours.

I wonder how we communicated in the "old days" with just our pen and paper. It certainly was easier, but limited.  Even though I could send a letter relatively quickly, it was to only one person. Later with the copier, I could print several if I needed but then individually address and mail them.  Today, even though the process seems more time consuming, it is really a marvel to think that after I write here, anyone in the world (with interest, of course), can view it in mere moments.  I like that.  Imagine the power my words can have!  Guess I best go back and be sure the newsletter is worthy of all that power.  Peace to your day!
