I don't send many snail-mail letters, but when I do I like to put a fun stamp on the envelope, a stamp that has a little personality.
During these past 10 months, I have sent more snail mail than when life was busy.
N started sending letters to her friends, too, as a way to pass time and stay connected that doesn't involve a screen.
I have taken to perusing the USPS site more frequently, being sad when new cool designs aren't available yet, and snatching up the ones I can get that aren't your usual flag or flower.
For this round, I ordered Gwen Ifill, Scoob, and Maine.
But my favorite so far has been the Ruth Osawa stamps.
One the one hand, this interest in stamps--their colors, designs, and meanings--could be seen as a pathetic way to find entertainment.
But I like to think of it as an opportunity to notice.
