Did you know postcards have been used since the late 1800’s? That in itself tells me post cards are timeless and an important piece of our history.

  1. You can add a ray of sunshine to someone’s day.
  2. It says, “You are important,” even if you didn’t write those exact words.
  3. It matters! Postcards are highly personal and a simple way to nurture any relationship.

Postcards are timeless in the sense that they have not gone out of style. Years ago when I worked in the travel industry I would send my grandfather a postcard from every destination I traveled to. When he passed away, there in his bedroom was a box which contained all of the postcards I had sent him over the years. I didn’t realize it when I was sending the postcards what they would mean to him and to our relationship. In fact, I was blown away when I learned he had saved them over the years. I didn’t know it back then, but I was creating memories.

In a completely different way, postcards are timeless (actually time-less) because they do not take much time to write or send. You will probably spend more time time trying to choose one than it will take you to jot a short note on one and drop it in the mail. Here’s a fun bit of trivia you may never use:  Postcard collecting is called “Deltiology.” It may be useful to know if you play Trivial Pursuit or plan on being a Jeopardy contestant.
