Expressions of Love...: Ah, Life.

Ah, Life.

Now, what is the meaning of life? Who bloody knows. But... at least on the great and vast journey, cards can impart some excellent tidbits of wisdom to help you along with the lumps and bumps. And for the most part, they're moderately hilarious and wholeheartedly true.

True? Yes. Very much so.

I wish I had a smock for all the things life threw at me. That way I wouldn't spill cafeteria-produced chicken à la king on my new skirts or beer on my cashmere sweaters.

Can you relate? Can't we all. Sigh. ;)

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.
