やっと届いた。。Finally delivered.

待っていたものがやっと届いた。シンガポールからの便り。航空便でちょうど２週間。急ぎのものではないけれど、郵便局ののんびりさに使う人が減るのもわかる気がした。しかしながら郵便受けに請求書と広告以外の物が入っているのを見つけるのはとても嬉しい。しかも素敵な手作りのカード。今時何でも時間の節約で手作りの物が減る中、そして手書きの便りが減る中、とても嬉しい届け物だった。

Something I've been waiting for had finally arrived here.  It's a parcel from Singapore.  It took TWO weeks by airmail.  It's not something urgent.  But, no wonder the post is not so popular anymore. It's so slow.  We only find junk mails and bills in the mail box nowadays and seldom find personal letters.  So, it was such a pleasant thing to find this one in there today.

Inside the envelope, I found the beautiful  handmade card.  We use more E-cards, E-mails, E-everything, because it's faster, easier, cheaper and ???   This delivery maybe took a bit longer than we expected, but it was a truly  precious delivery.
