Feeling Thankful
I am feeling
thankful for so many things. I'm thankful for a small town with a small
post office that is rarely crowded. It is a pleasant place. I am
thankful that though I live in a small town I have contact with the
world through letters. I love opening the mail box and finding mail from
distant places whether across the country or across the world. I enjoy
reading about your daily lives. Stories of the ordinary are elevated to
grand events by a letter.
I am thankful the interaction and the inspiration I get through letters. I am learning from you how to be a better correspondent, a better conversationalist. I am thankful for civility and hope to be always as civil and gracious as you are.
I am also thankful for receiving my first Christmas present in the mail and the challenge it gave me to get into gear, Dear. Oh my, a challenge to not procrastinate.... I don't have my Christmas cards ready yet and I've already received a present all the way from Australia which means Kathleen is inspiring me to plan ahead. Thank you, Kathleen! I put a letter to you in the mail today. (I think she's already figured out I'm not as on top of things as she is....)
And getting a little off topic, this was a nice surprise.

Remember this?
It now has a
companion card...
only this one is from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Both cards are
from the same person. Not only do I wonder who the sender is, I wonder
what ink this is. The shading and color are gorgeous! As a fountain pen
user I can't help but wonder.
So, thank you! You made my day!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
