postcards

Just yesterday I sent a few messages home to loved ones. During the time I visited in the USA I think I really took for granted the fact that so many of the people I care about were just a phone call or a short drive away. Now that I am back here in Costa Rica it is that much more difficult to stay in touch...on the one hand it really is a testament to the kind of friendship you have with someone, making the effort to reach out and send an e-mail, Facebook message, or a little note. But the other side is that it does take just that little extra push on your part...making time to sit down and write the message, stopping to collect your thoughts and convey them to that person, in the middle of what we are wrapped up in at the moment. And it is a two way street. The person has to write you back! Isn't it funny how we always seem so busy, that we are left without time to do something so quick and simple as reach out...?

It really is an effort. And it teaches you who really matters.
If you would like to get a postcard from me, leave your address as a comment on here! I will be more than happy to write you.

Saludos!

Pura Vida
