Coreyartus Imagery<p>I just want to put out there that there are real strong virtues to writing letters and sending greeting cards that aren’t necessarily “present” in emails.</p><p>• They get you off line. </p><p>• They help you craft thoughts carefully and purposefully in ways email can’t because you have to manually write it without “deleting” it.</p><p>• They’re fun to receive.</p><p>• They physically exist and will continue to do so if collected and cared for even after you’re dead.</p><p>• They can be pretty if that’s your intent.</p><p>• They’re more personal and meaningful than email because you took the time to engage in the process of penmanship on paper instead of typing it out.</p><p>I highly suggest trying the art of correspondence someday. Because it can be just that if you let it. Try unplugging and decompressing with a nice pot of tea and your favorite pen &amp; stationery. Try contemplating a rough outline of what you want to say or include. Then simplify.</p><p>Maybe do some fun doodling on the paper. Make it an extension of yourself that you’re sharing.</p><p>Enjoy it.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/letters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>letters</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/correspondence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>correspondence</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/GreetingCards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreetingCards</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/postal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postal</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/mail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mail</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/postage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postage</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/LetterWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LetterWriting</span></a></p>

He said shifting mail delivery to private companies would only make it more expensive to send and slower to arrive.</p><p>"'It becomes a for-profit business where the bottom line is profits, as long as people can suffer a couple of days without their meds, as long as the bottom dollar is found,' Smith said. 'And that's not what we are. We are an essential service of the United States people.'</p><p>"Smith said workers are on edge with all the debate in Washington, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InstitutionalKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InstitutionalKnowledge</span></a> is being lost as some long-time staff take early retirement offers.</p><p>"'The Postal Service is inexpensive, it's prompt, it's reliable,' he said. "And especially in rural areas, people count on the Postal Service for life saving meds to Grandma's latest batch of snickerdoodles.'</p><p>"Smith said the union is encouraging the public to reach out to local and federal representatives to show their support.
