Remember your friends, with a card

If Valentine’s Day is too romantic for you, another day in February may be more to your taste.

“National Send a Card to a Friend” day is on February 7 and it’s meant to honor our dear friends, wherever they may be.

This simple gesture is enough to cheer up any friend – a greeting card or even a postcard would let them know that you’re thinking of them, even if you don’t have the time to write about all the details of your life. Of course, sending a card also reminds that how popular physical mail once used to be. These days, much of our communication has become electronic, whether via email or text. But wouldn’t it be nice to find a beautiful card from a friend in your mailbox every once in a while? u
