The Art of the Missive

The Best Part of Today #102:
Getting [paper] mail from friends.

I love all paper mail nowadays, even if it's junk mail. It's all become so rare now, in the days of email advertising and the like. But that's precisely why correspondence from friends--things you actually want to read--are so exciting.

I just got a card today from my very best who goes to school all the way in Boston. This was not piece of lined notebook paper or even a typed/printed letter but a beautiful piece of stationery. And my friend, who goes to art school, folded the envelope herself and illustrated it to boot!

Of course everyone loves to get mail, and sending it is completely disregarded. Of course the best way to get mail is to send some. So the next time you wish you could get some mail, get some nice stationery (or whatever strikes your fancy) and stamps and send a friend some mail. They'll probably really appreciate it and you'll probably get some back! (Unless you REALLY picked the wrong person. But's it's a risk you gotta take.)
