I\u2019m not sure I can really explain it but I got such a thrill from getting any type of mail.&nbsp; I had tons of pen pals and learned such interesting things from my overseas pals especially.&nbsp; Didn\u2019t really matter what type of mail it was but it was an extra special bonus if it was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/birthday-cards\/browse-all-birthday-cards.htm\">birthday card<\/a> or Christmas card and if it contains money, well then it made my whole year!&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that I am an adult, and social media is alive and well, my mail is not what it used to be since it now mostly consists of advertisements I didn\u2019t solicit.&nbsp; If you\u2019re wondering, I do make every effort to go paperless and discontinue any mail that I can (and you should too!) but I do still make it known to friends and family how much I like seeing a personal birthday card or letter in my mailbox every once in a while.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I\u2019ll take a birthday greeting on Facebook, Instagram or anywhere else but there is something just so special about receiving and opening a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/birthday-cards\/browse-all-birthday-cards.htm\">birthday card<\/a> that someone picked out for me, thought enough to send out and took the time to write a personal message.&nbsp; Now I\u2019m on a mission to bring back the personal touch.&nbsp; Instead of just wishing my nephew a happy birthday last week via text, I sent him a card and included his name spelled out in origami dollar bills.&nbsp; He couldn\u2019t say enough about how that was one of the best gifts he had ever gotten.&nbsp; So I say, let\u2019s get personal!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When I was a kid, I loved getting mail.&nbsp;
