Fun fact

 Fun fact: today in 1901 companies in the US were allowed to use the word “postcard” to describe cards they sold that could be sent without an envelope. Before this day, the cards were labeled as “Private Mailing Cards” and commonly known as souvenir cards. I’m writing about this because it reminds me of how whenever I get a postcard from friends who are traveling, it helps me feel happy. Wherever you are reading this, I hope that many things help you feel happy. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.
