I've been putting this off for way too long

Dear Tomomi from Japan, Tish from Canada, Michelle from San Antonio, Rebecca from Arkansas, Petra from Germany, Gina from the Netherlands, and the anonymous person from Russia,

Thank you for the postcards! I really enjoyed receiving them, and reading your advice was pretty awesome, too:

Smile always!

Always be honest, and value your friends.

Don't sweat the small stuff because at the end of the day it's not going to matter. 

Look up; look closely; just look. Never feel bad for crying. be the friend you'd want to have, both to yourself and others. Learn to read, and learn to love to read. Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Be thankful for light. Remember to BREATHE. (It's totally cool that you couldn't make up your mind, Rebecca!) 

Always love yourself no matter what others say. 

Grow, enjoy and laugh, let yourself go and shine with your presence. 

Existence is determined by your mind. Listen to your senses and feelings and have a great will to live.

Pretty profound stuff!

Hopefully I'll be sending out a few more cards in the near future - life has gotten a little crazy recently!

Cheers,
Katherine

Excellent, more mail!

Dear Postcrosser from China,

Thank you for the postcard! The picture is gorgeous. I also appreciate your advice:

"Keep healthy" both physiology and mentality. It's the base for life.

Those are definitely good words to live by.

Best wishes and Happy Postcrossing!

I love getting mail!

Dear Eugene from Russia and Jacquelyn from Australia,

Thank you for the postcards! They look great, and it's cool to hear a bit about your lives. I also really like the advice you chose:

To love and appreciate the parents (Eugene)

and:

Choose to be happy... Life is all about the choices we make (Jacquelyn).

I hope you both continue winning at your own lives! And happy Postcrossing!

Best wishes,

Katherine

Postcrossing = awesome

Dear Joyce from Britain,

Your card made my day. I actually did a little dance of joy when I noticed the recipe on the front. :-) Also, many thanks for answering my question! This does seem like great advice to offer a newborn child:

Ah! be kind - life hath no secret
For our happiness like this;
Kindly hearts are seldom sad ones
Blessing ever bringeth bliss.
(poem by Hobbins)

I hope your life goes well and contains plenty of joy!

Best wishes,
Katherine
