I just got my first bit of mail from postcardx. It came to me from Succex, England from a girl named Andrea. I was so excited to open it. I had to carefully peel the tape that was around the edges, not to harm any of the contents. When I got it opened and poured out the contents I found a nice homemade rubber stamped card. Inside the card were several chocolate wrappings from England, a few business cards, (one from Boston) a baggage claim ticket, a movie ticket stub (Bridget Jones) and a Theatre ticket stub.
I know that everything sent to me doesn't mean alot to you but to me it is quite special. I have someone's memories. They thought enough of me to share these memories. I look at each peice and wonder what was going on in her life at the time that she went to that movie or ate that chocolate... Maybe she ate the chocolate at the movie. Now I have the task of sending her something equally as special to her. I will be looking at everything that crosses my path today.

You can do this with anybody that is signed on to PX!(that's www.postcardx.net) It is a website full of address's and little bios of people who want to get mail.... I used to do it when we lived out in Severance but got sorta disconnected then added my new address about a month or so ago. It is alot of fun to get some sort of mail that isn't a bill.
