Back in the fall I decided that aside from a few bills (which I don't love) I was not getting the amount of mail that I needed. I pondered my predicament for a few days before figuring out the secret to getting mail. Are you ready, here it is...To get mail you have to send mail. Then I realized something, I hadn't been sending any mail, so the few friends and family members who occasionally dropped me a line were just being nice. I didn't really deserve to get anything but the bills.
I am starting to think that I have solved my problem. I send at least 10 letters a week unless I am on vacation. More for holidays or if people seem to need a letter. Sunday afternoons are like a regular letter factory. Don't even get me started on the amount of glue and paper flying around the living room when I decide to make cards.
Anyway, this blog entry is a thank you to all of the friends and family who have responded to my efforts. I got 7 valentines since Friday (1 was at work and not in the mail box.) I get letters at least a couple times a week. You make my day every time I get one, not to mention when I get 2 at once. Oh, and post cards, wahoo!!! I have filled multiple pages of a photo album with those. It's becoming quite the collection.
So, thanks again and I will keep up the work on my end.
