About two weeks ago, a friend from high school (and before!) emailed me that she started a blog for her daughter Emerson, Hi Stef...the blog is great!!! Anyway, I have a tendency to "stalk" other people I find on other blogs. Comments are a great place to "see" if someone might be interesting!!! To be fair, I don't "stalk" anymore, I leave comments when I read a blog. I am not a creepy stalker, I let people know that I am stalking them:)! Again, I digress. On Stef's comment page, I found Hien, another girl I went to school with. I tell this story because Hien had a wonderful blog about good old fashion mail. Mail that has been specifically got/sent just for you. You entered somebodies thoughts and they cared enough about you to write a card, put a stamp on it, bring it to the mail box in hopes of nothing more that to let you know you are thinking of them. How cool is that? I am HORRIBLE with cards. I love the computer, email and blog comment are how I keep in touch, but sometimes (most times!) who doesn't like to just be thought of...open their mailbox and find something other than a bill and junk mail?!?!?
So I would like to thank my friend Jen for such a wonderful card and thank you for the nice thoughts. It brought a smile to my face more than you know! It is nice to know I have good friends who care and think about me. And to all of you reading this PLEASE know I care and think about you...I am just LAZY, but I am going to work on that. Jen, you have inspired me. I think I will pay it forward (and backwards, I will get you when you least expect it:)!) and start to send just a simple card here and there to let people know I care. Watch out!!!!
One last note, please notice how pretty the writing is. She is so talented. To check out other cool things that she has done go to www.gracefulexpressionsdesign.blogspot.com . I sure hope Jen doesn't mind that I did that:)! She really does do nice job!!!!

Made my day:)
And yep, email and blogging is easier...but happy mail can make a bad day turn around!
I LOVE SNAIL MAIL (from friends only OF COURSE, not the JUNK AND BILLS!) In fact today I received and UNEXPECTED package, with an organizer from a friend, (AWSOME!!!)!!! Matt said, what did you order? I told him nothing, but when I looked at my name written out, I immediately knew who it was from!!! made my DAY! Thanks for the post Kristin!
It's so fun receiving real mail from friends or even people you haven't talked to in a long time. It let's you know they are thinking about you. It's definitely a long lost art.
