Extremely Wishful Thinking

I just sent this card to my friend--I think it is undyingly perfect for any girl. Does it not sum up the wants, wishes and desires of every average female in North America? In the entire world? Interestingly enough, the woman who said this, Zsa Zsa Gabor, had nine husbands, seven of whom she divorced and one of which is annuled. Shockingly, she's still with her final husband, at age 92. They've been married for 23 years. Maybe they sent letters and cards? I hope so. I'd like to think it's the formula for any happy relation. Well, at any rate, I suppose the moral of the story is it's never too late to find happiness. :)

Sealed with love...

Anyone, anywhere can fire off an email, send a fax or post something on your facebook wall. It takes a grand total of two and a half seconds--some text, the click of a button, and you're done. Instant communication, lost in the abyss of cyberspace--hardly what you would call an expression of love. With the advent of internet, yes, it's tragic, but true--we have almost lost the beautiful permanence of letter writing. Sure, it's slower and it's more tedious than sending an e-card, but it's the effort involved that makes cards, letters, notes in the mail expressions of love; because in taking the time to choose your stationary, write your note, enclose a photo or magazine article, and deliver it to a mail box or post office--you've just proven the depth and beauty of snail mail. You've just told someone, through your actions alone, that you love them.

You love cards. I love cards. We all love cards.

It's a reciprocal business, sending cards, letters, postcards, packages, flying elephants (ok, probably not the flying elephants, but if you do happen to find one, you should drop me a line). And so card-sharing should be a reciprocal business, too! Send me cards, letters, cool stationery, tidbits of mail--anything wonderful and whimsical that goes or comes in the mail. Scan it, add a little blurb telling us what it's all about--why it's special, why it's cute, why you love it, why we should love it--send it (sadly via email: cooper22722@yahoo.ca) and I'll post it. With love, of course.
