Snail mail is nice right now - birthday cards arriving! It is fun to open, read and re-connect with friends and family who put stamps and address on the envelope and sent the colorful cards off to me.
And Facebook is fun - friends on my timeline are sending good wishes. Also a nice way to celebrate my day!
But Princess Cruise Line??? Ok….I understand. We are booking a cruise to Alaska for our whole family next summer. To do so I had to enter names, birthdates etc., etc., etc. So today I got a special electronic birthday card from the folks at Princess. You click on it and a big cartoon cruise ship cruises from port to port and I think it is saying "Happy Birthday" in lots of different languages. Then at the end there is a personal written note suggesting I enjoy my day.
Ummmm…..can you say MARKETING? I somehow know I will be getting an annual birthday card from my new friend, Princess Cruises, for the rest of my life. Even if I never book another cruise.
Oh well…..good wishes…..I'm happy to accept them from any source….I guess.
