Vintage Snail Mail

https://zjmissive.blogspot.com/p/vintage-snail-mail.html

Snail mail is wonderful. That someone would sit and pen a letter to you describing their way of life, their interests, their thoughts— is special. They took the time.

They also did it for an audience of one, YOU. It causes you to slow down, to stop feeding on videos of instant information. You get to sit, be patient and read not just words in an everyday font, but in their very own hand.

The letter in your hands was previously in their part of the world, their town— their hands. This is especially meaningful with Vintage Snail Mail or ephemera for that matter. 

Besides being all these wonderful things, it also gives to you the gift of history. A time capsule of a place, time, a person, or a way of life. I find I can appreciate today as I remember yesterday.
