Oh, letters. I have such a love affair with letters. I love seeing pretty, colorful envelopes in my mailbox. It is so fun to check the mail and see what people choose to send me, whether it be their mail art or a plain envelope. An envelope full of paper bits, stickers, pterodactyls, purple things, or just a letter. The fact that somebody takes time out of their day to write their thoughts, feelings, daily activities, book, music or movie recommendations, whatever they include, makes me so happy. Letters from strangers who turn into mail friends for months or letters from strangers who stay strangers. Letters that include inspiring messages or funny anecdotes. They are all amazing and make my brain happy.

Looking forward to a 2013 full of mail! Tonight Nathan and I are celebrating the New Year by drinking margaritas at home (millgaritas, if I may). Wednesday is our first anniversary! What a lovely year it has been.
