The plan...

I spent all night thinking about it, I have several ideas of smile-or-cry-moment-exchanges and might realize some of them on different levels, but this one is the easiest to access for most people.

Now, I am very slack at writing emails but many of my friends live far away in different countries, so how can I communicate without losing the ease of little chats had over a cup of tea or a glass of wine (rum for some)? Emails always scare me. A white sheet of paper used to do the same. As much as I love letters, I wouldn't send one if I just want to share the little things in life, a blank page demands to be filled, it won't be posted half written. Short messages are easier. I do miss actual tangible correspondence, post cards, letters, little surprise parcels, but I also love sms and messages on social networking sites. They can be brief but still show 'I think of you and care enough to let you know.' They can make me smile as well. But at the same time I'd still like to be part of my dearest ones' everyday lives, and I'd like to think they feel the same. So this site's purpose is to virtually recreate those little chats over a cup of tea or a glass of wine or some rum... It's an exchange of smiles or tears, meaning or banter, pure joy of being in each other's life.
