found but not lost

still can't find my book of stamps. but, i did organize my "letter-writing/postcard/stamp" drawer. recently my little sister mentioned something about me sending postcards to myself from my travels, a kind of reminder of where i had been and also because . . . it's nice to have something in the mailbox when i get home. my last trip to Japan was the first time in a long time that i didn't send any postcards to anyone including myself. i can't remember when i first started sending postcards to myself but tonite i found a postcard postmarked 1988 in San Francisco. i am glad i found it even though it was not lost.
