There are times when the 70+ names on The Brownie List seem overwhelming. I was impressed with myself for mailing fifteen packages at once on Monday. By Thursday, that feeling has been replaced by one of ennui.
I have three pans of brownies already baked. I haven't had the energy to pack them and label them and mail them. It's not that I haven't the time. I just don't have the required smiling oomph to get it done.
And then I get a text from Sister, announcing that the brownies were gone in minutes. I got a picture and verbiage from Brother, thanking me for providing his dinner. The Seamstress and her fiance called for a lengthy video chat.
I have tracking notifications set up and my phone is filled with texts from USPS. I'm having fun thinking of the envelopes sitting on the front porch/mailbox/desk of those I love.
This really is the gift that keeps on giving. It reconnects me with my past and maintains friendships over decades. After all, if I send you brownies, you have to say thank you.
I've got 55+ cards/texts/emails/calls to go.
That's a pretty good way to go into the weekend.
