The wonder of seeing a familiar writing
the beauty of the “How are you?”
the lovely words caught in the frame
breathtaking, inspirational, full of hope.
It reminds you of the happier days,
moments of togetherness
moments treasured
captured in a few words.
Such a shame that so few people send postcards now. They were always such a delight to receive.
Best wishes, Pete.

Nice surprise receiving one Pete. I guess it is one of those dying trends nowadays!

I love postcards and always send them when I travel. I also send postcards from our area to friends just for fun. With all the electronic mail I find it fun to get something “real” in the mail. Especially if it’s not just another bill! 😉

I seldom receive snail mail now apart from the utility bills we have every month. It must be nice to send and receive postcards and letters in the mail.

It is, but I don’t always feel like I do it enough. I also have a stack of greeting cards in my desk to write and mail off every so often. I’ve never met a person who doesn’t like finding a personal handwritten note in their mailbox! Especially my older, home bound friends! 💖

I think they are slowly disappearing in our midst, what with the internet taking their place.

Yes they are but e-mails and chats took their place for the past several years. Sad ‘no?

Yes, at least we get things still expressed in words, Arlene. This was a good point you made. 🙂
