With these days of the Internet, no one sends postcards?

Maybe this title would need a pathetic intro and all those words that should wake up some nostalgic feelings in us. (but it will not come). Trying to remember when was the last time you sent or received a postcard, how the days in the past were better and the drawback of all this stuff that makes our lives easy, like having access to so many applications that with one click you send a message to those you want to congratulate something... Christmas, New Year, birthdays... or just send a hello. But neither is this true, that it is easy, as sometimes we skip doing that too.

Also, there are people you prefer to talk to in person instead of through the screen. So, two days ago I sent a message to a friend of mine with a question to meet and have a cup of coffee or a drink in the evening. She is a violinist with whom we played together in a wellness centre a few years ago. We used to talk while having a break between two playing sessions and somehow became friends. In the end, we could share things we didn't talk about with other people and continued to see each other to have those talks. We could wait for months and then send a message and just take a walk together and discuss the updates in our lives as if it was yesterday that we met for the last time. This last meeting never happened as she informed me that she moved to Asturias a few months ago {sight} so we had to talk now through the phone. Oh, I went off-topic, so back to the postcards and nostalgic feelings.

We were excited when received the postcard that @livinguktaiwan sent us from Taiwan. (photo above).
Mr and Mrs MiPiano found this greeting in the mailbox and they read it together immediately. What a little piece of paper can do, you could think. But it is not just the postcard that brings a smile to our faces. It is the interaction we have with others, which can happen in any form.

The same happy we were when received the postcard from another Hiver, @amico who visited us in Spain already twice. Last year he travelled to Portugal and back to Italy through France and sent us a postcard from there.

Even his dogs signed the little greeting card :D (it is the postcard that appears in the first photo, with the sunset - or is it a sunrise maybe?)

These two received postcards from Hivers made me remember all the other postcards we were receiving the last few years. I had also a lot of letters received before we started to use mobile phones and message services from the same. I didn't bring those letters with me, but it was around the time (or a few years later) when this song was released. I remembered the song this morning, it is indeed like a return to innocence... keeping these postcards sent by friends, or family members (and more of them that are not on the photo). Not because of the piece of colourful paper, but because of what they represent!
