Happy Send a Card to a Friend Day.
I like email. I really like texts. It’s nice to be able to communicate without disturbing people’s schedules. But even in the twenty-first century, there is something nice about getting mail that isn’t bills or junk.
One of my no-buy items is greeting cards and wrapping paper. That’s because I have a ton of both. My goal is to reduce my stash by sending people letters, not just today but throughout the year.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m scanning a ton of letters and cards that I have received throughout my life. (I’m not kidding about a ton, it probably numbers in the thousands.) It’s wonderful to read through them and remember the people who wrote me.
I didn’t keep all the emails I received, but I did keep the letters because there’s something special about snail mail. Make someone happy in a few days by writing a letter today and mailing it on Monday. It’s better than bills.
