What do you get in the mail?

When you get home at night what is waiting for you in the mailbox? Typically, if you’re like most people it is an endless stream of bills, flyers and impersonal “to resident” mail pieces that do nothing to make you feel good or excite you in any way. The whole experience of collecting the mail becomes an exercise in sorting over the blue box, with many pieces never being opened.

When was the last time you noticed a piece of mail with a real stamp addressed to you, that was not a bill? How did you feel? Was it the first or last piece you opened? Imagine someone sending you a note of appreciation for something you did. How would it feel if someone took the time to acknowledge something you did? What if the drycleaner sent you a note recognizing you as a preferred customer because you had been such a loyal client? What if the automotive shop appreciated you choosing them over the dealer down the street and took the time to acknowledge their appreciation of your business. Better yet what if someone reached out to you just to stay in touch because they cared and were thinking of you?

Who could you take a minute to acknowledge, in order to give them the same great feeling you just experienced?

What impact could you have if you took just a few minutes every day to make sure someone else received a gift in the mail?

You can make going to the mailbox something to look forward to  for everybody important to you!
