 shoutout to the post office

for supporting my love

of letter writing, shipping, and receiving

they are my heroes

even on a less than perfect day 

here’s to them for keeping it going

in spite of everything.

  13. The USPS is a much maligned entity that produces miracles every day. You can drop a letter off and it will arrive on the other side of the country a couple days later, exactly where you wanted it to. We take it for granted. People who badmouth USPS are ignorant and I have no patience with them. I go to the Post Office every day because we don’t have delivery at out house, so the social thing is important, too. Bravo, postal service!

  20. My mailman is just an awesome human being. When my mailbox was knocked down and dragged away, he suggested he’d put a rubber band around my mail and leave it on my porch until I could fix it. OK, that’s small town life but it is also HIM.

  21. I agree with you, Beth. Not being able to travel to see my granddaughters is awful, but I totally understand. I’m sending snail mail or priority mail for that matter, more than before. I’m so thankful for their services!

  22. I know they aren’t perfect, but I think it’s remarkable to send anything across the country in a matter of a few days for hardly any cost.

  24. My friends and I are doing a ‘Save The Post Office’ deal. We’re buying sheets of stamps and sending all kinds of cool stuff back and forth-postcards, zines, clippings, cards. It’s been fun! I don’t have an exact quote, but I think I read that if 50% of citizens bought just one sheet of stamps, it could ‘save the post office!’

  27. I second and third that, Beth. I always leave something special for our postal worker during the holidays when I do my yearly baking with a thank you note. I hate walking the half mile uphill to my mailbox and find it empty. Not many write anymore but I’m with you. I find any excuse to send a card or letter anywhere. I have a lot of stamps here. Need more international stamps now.
