happy mail...
1:35 AM Edit This 1 Comment »as i emptied my mailbox this afternoon, i remembered again the discussion i had with a friend over coffee yesterday...
what ever happened to good old fashioned
letter writing?
bills, advertisements, bills, political postcards (some of them HUGE), and yet a few more bills... it's gotten to the point where if it weren't for my mother,
God bless her soul,
there would be no reason at all for me to make the trip to the curb!
love letters, birthday cards, appreciation letters, i am fine how r u letters, thank you notes, thinking of you cards,
hey i read this article and thought of you envelopes...
plain and silmply entitled:
HAPPY MAIL
my mother has this down to a science. she is the happy mail queen.
a book of stamps, a page from her devotional (cleverly not-so-hidden meanings)...
all arrive in envelopes that could be framed for their sparkling beauty. they're the very first that i open--what about you?
do you open your bills or the envelope that most likely holds a smile inside?
i'd bet we all go for the smile...
but if no one is sending then who's smiling?
i have a box of letters & notes that have been sent to me over the years.
every once in awhile i lose myself in that box...
what can we tuck away for the future if all we do is email, text & call?
i for one am going to purpose to send a smile out more often...
yup! via snail mail---
