Do you remember the excitement you felt when you got a card in the mail? How about the joy in knowing that the card was handmade? It was always with great anticipation and joy that we waited to see what the mail carrier would bring. Nowadays our mailboxes are filled with bills & junk mail a far cry from what it used to contain. There was a time when I used to literally enjoy going to the mailbox. It was always an adventure to see what came for me that day.
As the years have gone by , the sense of excitement and joy was replaced with a feeling of dread because going to the mailbox is now the chore of cleaning out the crap the mail carrier. has stuffed into it. I find myself NOT going daily to the mailbox because I know there's nothing worthwhile in it!
I recently asked some of the visitors of my Facebook page to share what about what they get in their mailbox.
Here are a few of the replies
I love receiving handmade cards as I know they have been made with love and especially created for me x
Receiving a card in the mail is always a treat!!!
I used to love getting cards in the mail. Sadly mostly everyone I know sends everything through email
The fact that keeping in touch with someone wasn't instant, maybe we didnt take it for granted so much
