40 Things I'm Thankful For

Day 2:

Mail

To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart.  

~Phyllis Theroux

 I find so much joy in sending and receiving mail, and I don't think I'm the only one.  All the volunteers down here would agree that it truly makes your day to receive something from home.  I know it's enjoyable to get something meaningful (rather than bills and junk mail!) anywhere you live.  The fact that it is so meaningful is the very reason why no matter how advanced we become technologically it will never replace good old real mail.  

What a wonderful thing is the mail, capable of conveying across continents a warm human hand-clasp.  ~Author Unknown

A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.  ~Pam Brown
