Daily Insight: Post Cards

We all know the feeling of talking to someone that has been around the block a few times. Now when I say been around the block I don’t mean in the way you may think…but they’ve lived a pretty full life. Whether they’re older or just had a lot of experiences. One of the favorite sayings of those kinds of people is “been there done that bought the post card.”

It got me to thinking…what if the experiences in your life could be personified with post cards? How hilarious, scary, or down right tragic would those post cards be?

Where would the cards be post marked from? Would they all be from the block, would they mostly be from the club, would they be from around the world? These are things to consider when looking back on the post cards of life.

Think about who those cards would be sent to. Meaning who are the people that are living these experiences with you? Are they usually the same? Are you 37 still on Momma’s teet? Are they with different people every six months?

And if you were to collect and keep these post cards, and take them out occasionally to look at them what type of feeling would they bring? Are these experiences ones you learned and grew from, are they ones you never want to experience again? Or are they ones that bring back certain nostalgia?

All I know is I want to be able to be that person lecturing someone else some day about all the experiences I’ve had, how I’ve been there, done that, and have the post card to prove it. Do you?
