“Instruction does much, but encouragement everything." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing cheers me up like a hand written letter in my mailbox!! And it goes without saying that I absolutely LOVE making snail mail to send to someone who needs a little encouragement. Today's outgoing post idea is my way of encouraging you to send some encouraging snailmail!!
I started with a pun, of course!
"Orange you glad..."
My discouraged recipient recently entered a new life stage and was feeling a tad overwhelmed. She was also surrounded, of course, by people who kept pointing out all of the negative things about her situation. (There never seems to be a lack of Negative Nellies in one's life, is there?) I wrote a note to my pen pal outlining the "Top 5 Reasons" her new situation was awesome! I hope this note brought a smile to her face and a little cheer to her heart. Magic!
Orange you glad you sent some snailmail?!
Go postal, everybody!!

Your note must have been like apples of silver in settings of gold. That's mail she'll hold on to.
