The postal service (The mail people, not the band)

As I was stuffing 300 envelopes with letters, I got to thinking about the postal service. Since it took me roughly 3 hours to fold, stuff, seal, and label these envelopes, my minda had plenty of time to wander. So there I was minding my own business thinking about how much I love the postal service and about how non profits were likely helping to keep them in business with the amount of mail they send out the front desk receptionist Dolores (Who I absolutely adore by the way) brought me a package from my ever doting boyfriend. It was really bizarre for her to bring this as I was thinking about the post office but that is how my life usually works out. So, it was decided that I would write a blog post about mail.

In case you didn’t know I recently joined what Sarge likes to call “The quarter pounder club” meaning that I just turned 25. Because of this, the postal service and Dolores must think that I am quite a popular girl. It is funny in Americorps how once trivial things become so important and special, for instance: alone time, driving a car and not a 15 passenger van, hot showers (so I hear, I’ve been lucky thus far), eating whatever you want for dinner, and my favorite now special thing:MAIL. I am having a love affair with USPS (Don’t tell Dalen). I love sending mail – most of you in my top 20 communicators have gotten postcard. However, unlike presents I do not enjoy sending more than receiving. I have gotten lots of mail from loved ones including an assortment of friendship bracelets, a vast amount of birthday cards and goodies, a message in a bottle, crafting supplies, homemade cards and drawings and of course lots of sweet yummies. What can I say, my people know me well. Anyway, I just wanted to take out the time to appreciate and send my love out to those who have sent me mail. It means the world to me. Here is a picture of my wall and all the mail I’ve gotten here in San Antonio. <3!

Whoops… Forgot to post the picture: (Also this is a little old so I have more love from more loves now too!) 🙂
