Today in the post I received some actual mail.
It was lovely, and almost nostalgic of a time when there was no email and everybody wrote letters to each other.
Now, I am a fan of email and Facebook and have cranky withdrawals if I am away from my computer for too long. But when my computer goes “DING” to announce that I have mail I don’t get nearly as excited as I did today when I saw an envelope addressed to ME with two UK Stamps on it! Even more exciting was its contents of 2 postcards and a hurriedly scrawled note.
What I like about mail is that it does take more effort than sending an email. It involves finding paper, pen and envelope. Try and find the address (usually involves emailing person I am sending a letter to to ask them their address) Then going to the post office to buy a stamp and put in the mail box.
I enjoy writing letters myself (well sending postcards anyway) and I would like everybody to get into the habit of sending letters again like they did in the times before the internet (not that I can remember such a strange time, but I read a lot about such a time in books).
Or at least, please continue to send me postcards. Because I love them. Thank You.
