Today is my birthday, and I woke up to email messages, not postcards, from several members wishing me a happy birthday. Yes, the organization Postcrossing sent me a birthday wish, but other people who sent me cards earlier in the year sent me birthday wishes as well. I was astounded and pleased. I never expected it.
These past two years have been difficult for me (not Covid-related) and to receive these messages has been heartwarming. I am so thankful for this community. This has made me realize that even the smallest gestures have great meaning and great impact. Just reaching out and saying a simple hello or happy birthday can really make someone’s day.
I extend a great thank you to the founders of Postcrossing for creating this experience and this community.
