Mail makes me happy

I returned home tonight from Taipei to find a great big package and two letters in my mailbox.  Yipee!  Even though there isn't anybody waiting to greet me in my apartment finding mail reminds me that people care about me...so is kind of like having somebody greet me.  The package was from Alan (husband) and it included one of my all time favorite types of candy...actually two kinds...tootsie rolls and tootsie pops...yummy!  Of course, you cannot find either of them here in Singapore so it was a welcome sight.  One of the letters was from Alan (brother) and made me laugh out loud. 

For those of you who rely predominantly on email or text messaging or some other form of electronic communication, please...please...please pick up a pen and piece of paper and write somebody a letter.  I promise that this is not a pathetic ploy for me to get mail...send the letter to somebody else...  There is something about finding a letter in your mailbox...knowing that somebody took the time to write it to you...then all sorts of people take all that care to make sure it gets delivered directly to you...and then you get to open it and find your favorite candy or laugh out loud...how cool is that?
