Today I want to speak about the US Post Office…..

l love them….They are always there for me. They do their job and cover sprinkles on it. I never lose mail. It always come to my house…no matter where my house is. If they are late…..the reason is a real emergency. If they accidently lose it…..yep, they find it AND deliver it…whether it is 1 week or 1 year or 5 decades late.

I know it costs money and I remember the 1 cent stamp and still I will not complain, but am joyous that they are always thinking of me. My magazines are delivered clean and on time. The ads I don’t want are delivered clean and on time. Monetary requests from everyone are delivered clean and on time. If it is as light as a feather, it is delivered undamaged and when there is an accident, it is commented on. The feather arrives with the same respect and dedication as the 10 lb. bag of anything. And speaking of ‘anything’, they deliver almost anything and what they will not deliver, we do not need.

I feel the Post Office and Amtrak are a gift from my government to each person ….and they do not have to even identify as a customer…..if there is mail addressed to……..” ” it will arrive to that address as safe as any other piece in the system.

People want me to type my correspondence because while my penmanship might be attractive, it is difficult to read…..The Post Office overlooks my writing and many many others and does so without any remarks. This government business delivers money, wedding announcements, get well cards, tax bills, auto titles, and birth certificates. Items that mean nothing to some and are worth more than gold to others.

Be proud, be appreciative, be grateful and continue to back the USPS….Amtrak too. They are the best of the best coming from my government and they serve you and I in every village and metro area in these United States. Thank you……

(If only my government representatives would follow in kind)
