snail mail in keeping it postive

The post office is hurting since so many people use e-mail rather than snail mail. There's NOTHING like receiving a REAL letter or card in the REAL mailbox.

I send letters regularly to a friend in California. We used to be face to face friends, but in the past few years realized we rub each other the wrong way. Yet, we still send cards, letters, clippings, etc. I have a pen-pal in Ohio. We've been writing for over 20 years, yet have never met in person. I also send her cards and clippings and gifts. She came up with the idea of sending return address labels for me to put on the envelopes.

I think it's a GREAT idea! The envelope looks neater; I don't have to worry about getting the address right (or looking it up); AND I get all those extra return address labels OUT OF THE HOUSE.

So... just passing on a great idea.
