Recently we gave up on our postage machine at the office. With the price of renting a postage machine, the hassle of buying products and repairs, and so many calls from Pitney Bowes, we decided to return to old-fashioned postage stamps.
It has been fun to select the different stamps and personalize our mail. I am writing more notes because I have winter stamps I want to use up.
It feels more personal than the red stripe we used to print on our envelopes. Maybe we are wrong, but the postage stamp might bring the receiver a smile.
As I was selecting stamps to purchase, I remembered the process of being a stamp collector in Junior High. I would steam stamps off the envelope, and I had books full of collections of stamps. It was a fun memory I hadn’t thought of in many years!
I would encourage you to explore the variety of stamps and purchase some that represent you somehow. Buy some stationary and make a point of writing notes and sending mail. In a world where bills fill the mailbox, and even worse, sometimes nothing at all thanks to online billing, send some love and offer some joy that starts with the stamp and ends with the words you put to paper to share your heart with those you care about!
