I have apparently grown rather accustomed to receiving mail on a daily basis since starting
TLWR. I went to the post office yesterday (one of my favourite parts to a standard day) and was shocked to discover the box was empty. Surely they were behind on the mail sorting being the holidays and all. I went inside to the main office and asked the Post Master if all of the mail had been sorted to which she replied, "
Yep." What??????
Since June and even before TLWR, I don't remember ever having an empty mailbox. But there it was. Not a letter. Not a postcard. Not a bill. Not even a flier. I trudged home in the freezing cold Canadian winter wind feeling remarkably let down. The good thing is that I know when I check my mail today, there will certainly be some. Right?
On the up-side, there were no bills. I'm sure this lag is the calm before a storm of Christmas cards!
ReplyDeleteYes, a blizzard of Christmas cards! And a belated *Happy Birthday* to Meredith!!! Those letters were achingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and light...
Oh, I know this feeling. I had two days like that in the past few weeks, and it can be sad - especially when you know you are expecting something!
ReplyDeleteI'm out of town tomorrow until next Friday, and I'm sure that 90% of all my Christmas cards and most of my packages will arrive then, since I won't be around to collect them!
i really hope today was more bountiful! and you know how canada post can be sometimes...you probably have a stash sitting at the sorting centre!
ReplyDeleteI experienced this for the first time in quite sometime as well. No letters, no new ink and no new pens :(
ReplyDeleteJulie, Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy reading your blog....I am not sure where you find the time and energy, but one thing is for sure, it certainly lifts my spirits when I read such amazing personal stories that have affected you and your loved ones....You are truly an amazing woman/mpther/artist....keep up the amazing work.
