I love getting mail.
Yesterday I received a package from my mum with the most recent copy of The Australian Women's Weekly, a hand written letter and photo of mum and a couple of friends. I also received a beautiful handmade card from my sister.
Immediately my mood lifted and I felt a rush of excitement and happiness. It's amazing what the small things can do.
The postage cost more than double that of the magazine, but I'm sure she knows how much I appreciate it!
I sat up in bed last night and read the magazine cover to cover twice, including all the adverts. It was great and I felt back in the loop with the Australian tabloid gossip and goings on.
Today I also received my first copy of Glamour in replacement of my subscription to Domino which went out of business earlier this year. Foreign magazines cost so much here, sometimes four or fives times that of the marked price so I decided to invest in a couple of subscriptions. I also signed up for Jamie Oliver's cooking magazine which I should receive next month.
I'm hoping that may encourage more cooking and more time in the kitchen for me. We'll see.
