Try Postcards
A fun, quick way to express yourself!
We’re having Weather
I have company this week. Three old friends from three different cities. And, depending on the weather, another on Sunday. As you may know, we’re on storm watch here in Southern California. Hoping for the best.
So, I am keeping it short this week.
I been sending out many postcards this year, and it’s a great writing exercise in the ‘shower the people you love with love’ genre. Try it in place of a writing prompt. I’ve found it’s a quick way to show others I’m thinking of them. I have a friend who had a stroke a few years ago. She can’t talk on the phone, and reading anything very long is difficult for her. But she enjoys receiving postcards regularly and answers with an emoji.
