Letters

Mail call

As the holidays roll around I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge all the wonderful post office employees.

As the catalogs in my mailbox multiply I think of all the sorters separating them and the carriers hauling them around.

Of course all this comes about with unpredictable weather.

Driving or walking through rain, fog, snow, and ice is a daily challenge.

Let’s not forgot the eager dogs awaiting the arrival of the mail or the straying cattle, chickens, deer, or tumbleweeds along the road.

I have always looked forward to looking through my mail.

As a child I awaited a letter from a pen pal in another country.

Now I await a letter from family or perhaps a check from Publisher’s Clearinghouse.
