Mail...

Do you know what I have come to realize, I love mail! No, really, it may sound odd but I love getting mail. (taking the bills out of the equation of course)...

From a magazine to a thank you card. So great!

Walking down to the post office or to the mail box on the other side of the road. Yes, yes yes... Especially the post office. There's just something I remember from my youth of going down with my father, running over to the little metal door and putting the magic key in, with a twist the lock releases and the door swings open so effortlessly. Looking inside, wondering, what's in there, what has shown up in this little 4x5" box??? Even now, it excites me. Maybe that makes me crazy, looking forward to the mail??? Who knows. It's just good. Can you honestly say that you don't like mail? That when a card comes you don't rush to open it? Huh????

And then of course there are the days you get to walk into the post office and there is nothing... You know what still makes that fun though??? You can open the door and look in and see behind the scenes of the post office. The stacks of letters written, telling stories from one soul to the next. Or the bills that may be lurking. You know, that's what they do, the bills... They lurk. We won't go into the lurking bills though....

So yea, send me some mail. I like it... HAH!

And yes, it's even better than e-mail!!!

Hey, you are my first comment on my blog that is a stranger! thanks for visiting my new blog! And sorry if you didn't get an invite to my party cuz it was a hoot! Of course, I had to check out your blog and I chose to leave a comment where you state how much you like mail. I love mail too, but my mailman always gives me grief for having so many package deliveries. I say quit your job or get over it! Take care.

Ok, I admit that I love mail too. I like to order stuff just to get mail. LOL
