Aren't the bills more pleasant to pull out of the mailbox when there is a handwritten, personal note for you in the stack? Most of my mail is junk that I try to throw out in the garage trash can. I don't want to have it in my house at all if I can avoid it. I also get a ton of catalogs, which is my own fault for Christmas shopping with them.
I love getting personal mail.

In these days of e-mail and blogs and text messaging and cell phones, letter writing is a dying art. I enjoy e-mailing with friends. It is easier, but it isn't quite the same, is it?

I love buying greeting cards. I buy good ones even if I don't have an occasion for it yet. I have a funny getting married one, but haven't known any newlyweds for a while. I have some thoughtful sympathy ones that I guess I'm not really eager to use. Some of the funny ones are for birthdays, so I have to hold onto them.
When was the last time you handwrote a note to someone? When was the last time you received one?
