A note from afar, a note from
a friend, something in the mail
that’s not a bill, or a reminder,
or a pizza menu.
Correspondence. A surprise,
something personal and
appreciated. 
Snail mail, you get less and less 
in this age of instant. 
Too many people are too busy 
to drop a note to let you know 
what’s going on.
It takes time.
Of course, an e-mail is immediate 
but it does not have the same 
effect as a letter, or it will get lost 
in all that clutter and confusion 
in your inbox. 
Snail mail is an unexpected smile.
Send a letter to someone today, 
just because. It may take a while 
to get there, but some words are 
worth waiting for.
