I love making postcards.  Doodling ideas on paper, then drawing them on blank cards, looking through my spreadsheet of names and addresses, writing a message on each, adding stamps and taking to the postbox. A ritual that relaxes me, makes me feel close to the friends I am writing to, helps me to forget about the world around. This week I posted a dozen cards across the world. Now I wait till they arrive.
