Go Buy Some Postage Stamps

 Are you feeling a bit down right about now? That's okay, lots of people are. One thing you can do is to reach out to others - to your friends and family. I know it is easy to send off a text or email, but try doing this. Get some paper and a pen and write an actual letter. Ask how your friend/family member is doing. Tell them you hope they are fine. Write a bit about what you have been doing lately. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Did you take the dog for a walk and he saw a squirrel? Is there a funny joke you heard? Did you see something in the news that made you smile? (That can happen, usually at the end of the news broadcast.)

Just write a letter and mail it off. If you don't have a stamp, you can get some at your local Post Office, or other places around town. Our grocery store sells stamps and so does our drug store. You can also buy them online at USPS. There is a bit of a cost to mail them to you, but it is quite conveneient. And they have lots of neat designs. You can get some Bugs Bunny stamps, some Fruits and Vegetables stamps, some cool Tyrannosaurus Rex stamps, 1969 First Moon Landing stamps, U.S. Flag stamps and Made of Hearts stamps. Plus lots more.

If you order online, do check the price. Some are sold in booklets, some by the page and some in a coil. There are some coils that have 100 stamps, so that's going to cost you $55.00. However, there are some people that send out a lot of mail and they buy the large coils that set you back $5,500.00! Five thousand dollars!!!!! So just make sure you double check your online order. Ouch. You would have to write a lot of letters if you bought that many stamps.
