"One of these days I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter to all the good friends I've known..."

This post is dedicated to my friends who have been affected by time and responsibilities. I will be writing a very long letter soon! Love, Petra xo
"One Of These Days"
by Neil Young

One of these days
I'm gonna sit down
and write a long letter
to all the good friends I've known;
And I'm gonna try
to thank them all
for the good times together
though so apart we've grown.

One of these days
I'm gonna sit down
and write a long letter
to all the good friends I've known;
One of these days,
one of these days,
one of these days,
And it won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long.

And I'm gonna thank
that old country fiddler
And all those rough boys
who play that rock 'n' roll;
I never tried to burn any bridges
though I know I let some good things go.

One of these days
I'm gonna sit down
and write a long letter
to all the good friends I've known;
One of these days,
one of these days,
one of these days,
And it won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long.

From down in L.A.
all the way to Nashville
from New York City
to my Canadian prairie home;
My friends are scattered
like leaves from an old maple
some are weak, some are strong.

One of these days
I'm gonna sit down
and write a long letter
to all the good friends I've known;
One of these days,
one of these days,
one of these days,
And it won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long.

One of these days,
one of these days,
one of these days,
And it won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long.
One of these days,
one of these days,
one of these days,
And it won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long, it won't be long.

Hi K.! Just as he writes, there are so many I'd like to write to; people I've been close to but have lost touch because of my crazy schedule!

I make myself do this

Hi Sandy! Such a thoughtful characteristic!

I usually communicate via computer or telephone. It's been a long time since I've written friends a long, heartfelt letter during these hectic times.

I didn't look at it that way, Janeen! So very true!

Thank you, and knowing you, you and your family had a blast Valentine's Day! :))
