Yesterday I went to the post office and this happened:
I really am lucky in so many ways.
Several people said they wished that they could feel this type of love. Several people said they wished that they could give this kind of love.
So why not?
If you want to send a card or note to someone who is a part of this community then check the comments. If you want to receive a card or note from someone else then leave a comment with your address. I’ll be sending a few myself because I know how wonderful it is to have an unexpected note reminding you that you are needed.
PS. This is a wonderful, trustworthy community but just to be on the safe side if you want to use your work address or your parents address or a PO box rather than your personal address that’s not really a terrible idea. Totally up to you.
Thank-you for doing this!

With how crappy I have been feeling lately, I could use a pick me up. I’m tired of feeling like the world is burning down around me. My anxiety is making me miserable, I have surgery coming up to remove a faulty gall bladder and that is scaring the hell out of me. I’ve never had any serious medical intervention, ever.

This is such a sweet and awesome idea. I’m not sure about leaving my address in the comments section, but I’m going to try and send some cards. I just took up water color and I have a bunch of tiny paintings that need homes 🙂
I’ve been extremely stressed lately with so much uncertainty currently in my life. I’d love to feel needed right now, so why not give this a shot?

I have been having amped up anxiety, and the other night had the worst anxiety attack of my life in my best friends living room, surrounded by friends and sitting next to my mom.
I am still struggling from it, as that created it’s own new anxiety that no place is safe. I sat on the floor at my mammogram and cried this morning, shaking, and then cried big giant tears during my blood draw.
I am going to send some things out this weekend.

Might I suggest the Touchnote app? I use it to send random postcards to my friends because who doesn’t like receiving random mail and I can do it from my phone and don’t have to get off my couch. It’s lazy.
Welp, this is coming at a time when I’m really struggling so I’m totally up for trying this, if there’s anyone out there who won’t mind the international postage. Thanks so much for this and everything you do, Jenny.

I sent thank you and get well and atta-girl cards out to friends a couple of weeks ago — I though the cards were tacky but I did it anyway — my friends who received them were so pleased. I live in a pretty deep depression that twists everything I experience and makes every effort harder. But I know that every positive thing that I do adds positive energy to the world around me. So I keep going.
Also I appreciate you and your blog very much.

The other day on Etsy I came across a vintage wedding telegram from April 5, 1947. It was sent to a couple that were getting married at the Darlings Regent Hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland. The message said: “May your life be full of song, and your husband provide the notes. –Greta and Sid”. I had to have it. It’s kind of a silly purchase – I mean what am I going to do with a vintage wedding telegram? I’ve never even been married! – but I love the message and I think the practice of sending telegrams (especially for weddings, if you can’t be there in person) or even notes and letters is something we should reinstate. It’s a beautiful way to send happy wishes just for whatever reason, and it’s a little more personal than texting (altho reaching out to say I love you whatever way is always good).
And I love this idea of yours, too! My aunt calls it “a good mail day” when she gets something other than bills in her box. I love giving people “good mail days” and spreading the love. I don’t even check my mailbox every day because there’s rarely anything worth looking at in there anyway, unless I’ve ordered something online. Email and texting has robbed us of the simple pleasure of checking the mailbox. Let’s get it back! 🙂

Thank you for this! I will definitely send a few things out myself. I love being able to send snail mail and hopefully cheer someone up.
That being said, if anyone would like to write me I could really use it right now as well. Mom is in early stages of dementia (best as us and her doctor can tell) and only in her mid 60s. She and I have always had a very close relationship and watching her not be herself is very difficult for me and Dad. Sister has lost her mind and is suffering some sort of mental illness that has made her extremely hateful and horrible to all those around her. She has cut off family and it is tearing up my parents. Plus we can’t see my nephew anymore. Our little family is splitting and it’s a mess. =( Add that to chronic illness and mounting financial issues at home for me, plus my own quiet demons with depression and low-level anxiety… I feel like I need to curl up somewhere and hibernate until things blow over. Unfortunately that isn’t life and I know it. At least I have an awesome puppy and husband at home to support and love me!
I’m a poet, so if you have some poetry you love, I’d love to receive it! Or any note at all, of course.
Peace, love, and blessings to all.

Maybe we should come up with a way of keeping track of which addresses are already picked by someone to receive a letter, that way everyone gets included. Could this be done by the intended sender “liking” the comment of the addressee they pick? That way everyone else knows to choose another one? I don’t know, just a thought.
This idea is so cool by the way!

My partner tragically lost his big brother last year on New Year’s Eve. He has been struggling TERRIBLY with this loss and blames himself for not having done more to stop it from happening (despite the fact that it was out of his hands AND he had already done more than most sane people would have even attempted in his shoes). This morning he was sobbing uncontrollably about how much he misses his brother. Doug often feels like he’s not as important to the people around him as he truly is, and it breaks my heart. If folks could send a few letters his way , it would be MASSIVELY appreciated. He desperately needs to be reminded that he’s a good person who’s worthy of love right now.

Is it OK to add my 13 year old niece? She came to live with us last year, after a not so great earlier childhood. She’s been battling depression and anxiety for at least 4 years. She was cutting, but fingers crossed it’s been two months without doing that.

Aw if I had a po box id post it but I got rid of mine a few years ago 🙁 but this is a wonderful idea .
I’ve been struggling so hard for the past six months with changing from one medication that stopped working to another that made me feel worse, on the third that doesn’t seem to work either and getting ready to ask my doctor for something else when I see her next week… I’m getting so tired of the tremendous effort it takes me every day just to keep breathing. I would love a little note of encouragement, and I’ll try to send something out as well.

I don’t have the energy to participate, but I just want to pile on the love for anyone who is struggling right now. You matter. Depression and anxiety suck, chronic health problems suck.

I know my mom would love something like this. She broke her neck a year or two ago and had a metal plate put on her spine to correct the damage, but it’s totally ruined her life. She reads your books, Jenny, and both of us just love everything you write. I recently found you one twitter and am so thankful because now I can tell her about the things you say, until a new book comes out and she can read it herself!
Her address is:

Her name is Terri. Thank you.
Awesome idea! If there are any Dutchies around (or people who don’t want to put their address out there) you can mail me (your address) at: asfaroth at hotmail dot com. I have plenty of postcards that need a good home!
Sending and receiving mail is one of my favorite things. I’ll start writing as soon as I get home.

I’m having a terrible emotional/psychological struggle right now, especially with things related to my job (I teach high school), but a few other things too. I work really hard all day every day and yet I feel like a useless, ineffective failure. I do have an anxiety disorder so objectively I know that some of it is just my brain being terrible, but it’s still hard to get through the day sometimes. I could really use some notes to keep around me when I need a reminder that… wow, I don’t even know what. Just that I’m not terrible, I guess?

I’m going to try to send some too. Great idea.
Since we’re spreading the love, if you know anyone in Nebraska or Iowa, I’d recommend reaching out to them this week to make sure they’re okay and so they know you’re thinking of them. There hasn’t been much on it in the national news, but we’ve basically spent the last week having our asses kicked by Mother Nature. Most of the people won’t complain (even if it’s really bad) but I’m sure they would appreciate the thought anyways.
Thanks! Love this! Love Jenny! Love the Bloggess Tribe!

I am pretty stuck here at home 24/7 and really have no irl friends. My access to internet is limited to when my neighbor is not home, so life really sucks right now. I know depression lies, but boy, it hard to fight sometimes. And meds just don’t always seem to kick it to the curb. I would love some happy mail. It would even give me a visitor, as the postman bring my mail to the door. He’s so nice and knows I can’t get to the mailboxes. If you include your address , I will write back too !

My sister and her wife adopted a dog last week on the 5 year anniversary of the loss of their son. It turned out Maddie was sick – used as a breeding dog all of her life, suffering from PTSD, organ failure, hip dysplasia and a myriad of other issues. She, out of love and kindness, had to put the puppy to sleep 4 days later. SHe was Maddie’s angel and the only love and kindness that puppy ever felt. Send a card to someone for her. She is my sister and my best friend and my heart aches for her.
It’s been a rough time for me lately. I’d love to smile a bit.

In the spring. But we’ve got this. I love the idea of “strangers-that-totally-get-each-other” support!

I’m glad you have this in your life, and I’m glad to have you and your followers in mine.
I can’t express how much you have helped me over the years, heck, you’re still helping me while I’m trying to make heads or tails of life.
Single mum, trying to figure things out, get my home repaired and trying not to stress too much about it, and deal with the news that my biological half sister passed away in January before I could meet her.. But, things will get better, they always do.

I wouldn’t mind a penpal.. and hey, maybe once things settle a bit, I can get the supplies I need to make coffee paintings to send out to people.
Have a good day everyone, sorry about the venting.
Yay, I love sending (and receiving!) snail mail so much! What a wonderful idea, Jenny. <3

Hi Jenny
Not sure if you remember me, but I reached out to you at a low point years ago and you went above and beyond reaching out to me. LIfe has been up and down since then, but definitely on an upward swing most of the time. Unfortunately I was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer and the treatments have been pretty awful. Would love some get well and encouraging cards pls.

This is so lovely. Thank you for creating a space where this can happen, Jenny.
I’m too paranoid to put my address out there, but if anyone could send positive thoughts to a random girl in Canada, I’m hoping that the gallbladder specialist I’m going to be seeing says that the polyp in there is totally nothing to worry about. Thanks!
Also, loads of good thoughts going out to the people in the US having their butts kicked by nature. I hope nature is much kinder in future weeks. Hang in there.
Yes please. I’ll send one back. And a shameless plug since it’s relevant. I sell custom handmade cards. Check em out on facebook @KatsupkewlCreations

Yay kindness! Yay love!

I could definitely use some encouragement. Fighting depression, anxiety, stress, medical issues and never feel like I’m enough, though I try to always put on a happy face for others and hide my pain. I think this is an amazing idea and hope to be able to get out of this hole and mail out to some as well!

I would love to do both, but my social anxiety gets the better of me. I don’t have the confidence to do this. However, if you feel the need to send my husband a card, he has her suffering from a lot of physical health issues lately and is feeling really down. I would appreciate it!

I think I need a reminder that the world can be good. I’ve been trying to cut out toxic people and focus on the good, but that has just left me alone, angry, and bitter. I miss my Mom, but she doesn’t miss me until she needs money, I miss my friends, but they dont need me so they dont miss me.
Just realized I didn’t say anything about myself. It’s been a long, dark, cold winter in the Midwest and I’ve really struggled with depression and anxiety that was the worst its ever been. Paralyzed by fear – of growing older, of dying alone, of not being lovable, of kids growing up and leaving, you name it and I’ll have a panic attack over it. Hard to make sense of any of it and hard to stop the constant worrying. A cheerful little note to know I’m not alone would mean the world. Love to you all.

2019 has been a dumpster fire year so far. The one bright spot was getting to hug David Tennant. Other than that, I would take a redo on life rather than redo the beginning of this year. And add that to still trying to deal with trauma from my past that I’ve only begun addressing in the past couple years, life has been one giant ball of anxiety and stress and depression in a never ending cycle. Jenny, knowing you and Wil and others like you are out there being open and talking about the things that affect you has helped me so much. I only hope that I can begin to see a light in the future.

OMG! I love you all! Just knowing that I’m not alone in feeling the way I do gives me hope that someday (soon I hope) I will be able to feel happy again. Every morning I put on the mask and say the right words but all the time I’m dying inside. In my head I know it’s just the disease lying to me but in my heart, it’s still hard to keep moving. So in my heart and soul, I’m sending you all love and hope—-we’re in this together—-even if no one in the world knows or cares—-we know and we care—and that’s enough!
Fantastic! Fabulous and awesome. I have anonymously sent out a couple letters then thought…why not include me, too? Lately, every time I open my mailbox, I curse a certain individual who took advantage of my generosity and owes me money, so it would be lovely to see something in there besides bills. (Okay, I let him take advantage…I actually curse myself for being so lame. Mamma told me not to lend money to friends.)

Having suffered a recent bout of terrible anxiety myself (4 months of daily (and quite awful) physical symptoms that made me feel like i was losing my mind) , one of the things that has helped me work through it is knowing that I am not alone..

I’ve been in a depression cycle for months now and I could definitely use some kind words. I lost my job in December and still have not found a new one; I had surgery on my foot in December as well, and currently, I am recovering from a rollover car accident last week that should not have walked away from. One positive of the accident is that it confirmed that I still want to be here (I wasn’t so sure anymore). I know I’ll eventually get through the depression and misfortune, but it’s hard to manage when the people around you don’t fully understand how you feel.

After 20+ something years in therapy for all my mental illness issues (bipolar, agoraphobia, anxiety). I finally found an amazing psychiatrist who I had been seeing for the past 6 months. She listened so sincerely & made me feel hopeful. I was told she would be out of the office for an undetermined amount of time, but today was given the official notice she would no longer be available. I am devastated. I am from a small town & the choices are severely limited. I would love some words of encouragement while I sort through this. I would like to give my email if that is okay. I am a bit nervous about giving my address … petponygirl@yahoo.com
