Ever tried mailing a Coconut?

Check out our shop for fun photo cards Studio 206

We all have mailed bulky boxes, but what if you tried to mail something a little more unusual?

Feather Duster: the card with postage and address was attached by wire to the handle. Days to notice of delivery, 6!

Rose: Postage and address were attached to a card that was tied to the stem. Delivery at doorstep, 3 days, beat up but the rose bud was still attached.

Coconut: Fresh green coconut containing juice, mailed in Hawaii. Delivery at doorstep, 10 days.

Football: Days to delivery, 6. Male postal carrier was talkative and asked recipient about the scores of various current games. Carrier noted that mail must be wrapped.

"To everything - there is a season"

Sometimes it is hard to know what to say to the friend that is hurting. Here are a few hints:

I know this is a difficult time you're going through, and I want to stand with you. I want to help you; can I bring a meal?

It is important to offer suggestions such as bringing a meal, meeting for coffee, driving to appointments, etc.

Want to Feel Happier?

Write a Thank-You Note!

Who knew that writing  thank - you notes is actually good for your health? 

It is according to Steve Toepfer,assistant professor in human development and family studies at Kent State University. Toepfer found that increasing your level of life satisfaction may be as easy as writing a letter of gratitude. 

According to Shape.com, Toepfer asked subjects to write a meaningful letter of gratitude to anyone they wanted. The more letters people wrote, the less they reported feeling symptoms of depression, and they noted feeling happier and more satisfied with life overall.

"If you are looking to increase your wellbeing through intentional activities, take 15 minutes 3 times over 3 weeks and write letters of gratitude to someone." Toepfer says. "There is a cumulative effect, too. If you write over time, you'll feel happier, you'll feel more satisfied, and if you're suffering from depressive symptoms, your symptoms will decrease."
