You've Got Mail

I don't know about you, but I LOVE getting mail! It's a little piece of heaven in the midst of bills and flyers and it always brightens my day. Sometimes, I live on its high for weeks! It's the idea that someone went through all their pretty stationary or special cards (or picked up a scrap of paper) and then found a fancy pen in a fun color (or just a regular good ol' blue Bic) and sat down for a few moments in their busy life to think about me. I guess an email is kind of the same idea, but really, it's not (though I do love getting them, don't get me wrong!). The date was noted (or not) and so it starts "Dear LaDawn. . ." Whether mundane life or exciting adventures, the topic itself is not nearly as important as the fact that someone thought of me enough to do something about that thought. The letter or card is signed, stuffed, sealed and stamped before heading out into the great unknown of our global postal systems. Will it make it? - you never really know. And it does not matter if this precious package has traveled across town or around the globe - I treasure it and reread it. . .waiting only for the next special piece of mail to arrive.
