Merry Month of Postcards - Want to join?
Hello my dear friends!
Yes, I'm still alive, and I'm sorry for always disappearing for months at a time... Well, that's not why I'm posting. I had this weird idea today that in June I would do a Merry Month of Postcards (and not, that's not an official title, that's me being creative XD).
The basic idea is easy:
1 - Get out your pens and write postcards! I mean the real, snail mail things, the ones you can touch and that travel all over the world to find their destination. It doesn't matter if you buy postcards or use those funny/strange/pointless advertising cards, if you print a photo or just use those really old cards you never quite managed to throw away. The point it so write one and send it.
2 - Send one postcard for every day of the month of June. The beauty of a postcard is that it's a non-committal piece of paper that's just a nice wee 'I was thinking of you'. Easy. Cheap (well, not if you live in Australia XD). A nice and unexpected surprise. Makes people smile. Maybe there's this old friend you lost contact with? Or your grandma? Your parents? Brothers and sisters? A colleague? Online friends you can send a hello from halfway across the world (yes, some of you know what I mean XD)? A person who did something nice for you, like a neighbour or the nice lady at the local deli? Surprise them with a postcard, send it or throw it in their inbox. It's almost no effort for you, but it might make somebody else's day. Or hey, you can send 30 postcards to the same person, you best friend or partner or whoever you think deserves it. That's up to you ^__^
3 - Enjoy the pleasure of writing real postcards and get aways from the internet for a moment. Because snail mail has its charm (it may take a while to see it - quite literally sometimes XD) and there's just something special about letting the words just flow out of your mind into your hand and through the pen on the paper. And let's be honest, getting postcards that have travelled thousands of kilometres is kind of cool.
So, does anybody want to join me in the quest? There's no pressure behind this, it's just a funny idea and my strange way to share my love for postcards (note here that it's me writing them, not getting them most of the time ^^). And hey, if you only send three postcards in June, it's not really a problem either, the only thing that matters is that you did it and made somebody smile. And who knows, you might just get a card back next time they're on holidays XD
Now, let's start hunting for postcards! ^___^
