Send a Card

It’s 2020 and the latest technology surrounds the world we live in today. As the newest technology continues to improve daily, in a blink of an eye everything has changed. However, try to think back to the last time you got an actual card with a letter in the mail. Not the type of letter from a holiday greeting or a card from a Hallmark Holiday but a real letter that actually asks how you are and what you are up to? In today’s world, we can do almost everything through technology. Why send a card when we can call, text, send emails, or FaceTime to get replies much quicker than snail mail. However, a card or a letter simply out of the blue can make someone feel extra special and they are more memorable and personable than a text. February 7th is National Send a Card to your Friend Day and I hope you will join me in celebrating it.




A small gesture that we may not think makes any difference could actually make our friends day. It only takes a small amount of time to send a fun card with a short personal message. It doesn’t need to be a store-bought card, it can be a handmade one. Even simply sending a postcard to a friend is more fun than receiving junk mail, political advertisements, or bills. It’s small, simple and to the point, but still a sweet gesture.




With all of the latest technology in the world, the art of penmanship and letter writing has begun to fade, all it takes is a cute little card with a nice personal message in it to put a smile on someone’s face. Everyone loves a handwritten note, but if you can’t do that, send them an e-card or even an email. No one will judge you as long as they hear from you.




Whatever you do, don’t miss out on celebrating your friendships on this special day. If possible, set aside a few minutes to write a personal greeting to a friend, preferably in your own handwriting. Celebrate National Send a Card to your Friend Day on Feb. 7th. I’ve already got my stamps bought!
