I got mail today
and it was junk.
One from an insurance agency
that has no idea what it would be like
to “insure” me anything! 😀
The other was a credit card offer…
“You’re pre-approved!” it proclaimed
in huge letters,
not knowing the slightest thing
about whom it was proclaiming… me! 😀
I got mail today
and it was junk,
double junk even.
It wasn’t bills,
requests for money,
sweepstakes offers,
or loud advertisements.
It was junk
and required no action.
Now if that isn’t something to celebrate,
one of those tiny miracles we too rarely acknowledge,
Then I don’t know what is!
Come on, join me!
Celebrate your junk mail today
and be happy!
If by chance
you didn’t get any snail mail today,
not one single slip of paper,
well, isn’t that a good thing, too?
So celebrate that!

I like the positive perspective in this. Especially happy for it to not be more bills. 😉
Sure, I can dig it, count your blessings, & certainly take note of & celebrate all small victories.
I enjoyed the lighthearted quality of this poem 🙂 Beautifully penned.
I’ll toast no snail mail all night long, Crystal! And tiny miracles… and every new day! (I’ll even toast bread!)
Oh that junk mail! and the spam!
Nice re-framing. Love it.
Ha! Great spin on junk mail and perspective! Most enjoyable. 😊
I have been known to scan my spam mail when I’m lonely…
Smiling. One day, right after I turned 55, I received mail from AARP (an association for “older” Americans), the Neptune Society (cremations services) and some kind of life insurance. All the same day. Dang.
Loved the light vibe to this. Junk mail never sounded so good! Cheers!
