i have to say that summer rain and postcards are two of my favorite things in the entire world.
yesterday, i got a postcard from erik who is currently on his rock star tour 2003 with groceries and octopus project. the card had a canyon on it from texas, but he sent it from denver.�i love it when that happens.
i ALSO got a postcard from my friend david from mexico! it was a lovely surprise, cos i didn’t even know he was IN mexico. plus, it contained a cryptic message, which is ALWAYS the best kind for a postcard:
“everything has changed.”
i wonder how it feels to write that sentence and really mean it.
i don’t consider myself to be extremely wise, but here’s one little button of wisdom: sending someone a letter/card/package in the mail is one of the easiest ways to add joy to their day.
and did you know you can “make” yr own postcards? not to sound like heloise here, but you can just send any old photo in the mail (it might get a little scratched but not too badly) and write on the back and voila! it’s DIY mail!
or you can buy old postcards. i LURVE doing this. whenever i’m in an antique store, i’ll rifle through the postcards for anything odd or cheesy or striking. the BEST kind of the ones that were written on but never sent… so you can just write in the address of yr friend, and send them the card with a message from the past… (chills!).
wow, this entry turned into a salute to the u.s. postal system! on that note, dear readers, i bid you a good morning.
