I was doing some spring cleaning and threw out a bunch of cards + letters I received over the last 5 years. Some of them I am keeping because they naturally mean a lot to me. A lot of people would have things they treasure. A tv show in Australia comes to my mind - American Pickers starring Mike Wolfe and his partner Frank who go around everywhere in USA buying stuff that ordinary Americans keep in their junk yards and sell them for a profit. One will be surprised with what people keep as their treasures. Advertising signs, bikes, spare parts, oil cans, toys, cars, light fittings, spark plugs, juke boxes. Check out their site
American Pickers.
Anyway I am keeping 2 notes my ex-boss sent me which clearly are not worth a cent except the words he expressed in his handwritten notes.
I am also keeping several goodbye cards from my Malaysian and Singaporean co-workers. They gave me the cards when I left for Australia. I do miss these good people.
And I am keeping these 2 cards. One of them was given to me from my Melbourne office receptionist Janet. Bless her soul she was a kind woman. It says, " To invent an airplane is nothing. To build one is something. But to fly one is everything". Wow.......
