@loonylady For many years I delivered birthday cards to local nursing homes in Woodland, NorCal. During the 1980s. Always wrote little note in each one, trying to personalize it a little. The home directors always happy to provide me w/monthly lists. Can’t recommend this enough as a way to make lonely lives (inc. mine) a tiny bit brighter. Especially now in this time of upheaval and reliance on electronic communications. Kudos to you and best wishes.

@westwoman3698 Thank you so much for your comments. I, too, try to include a short note and I usually point out that they don’t know me as I don’t want to frustrate anyone trying to figure out who I am. I type the notes which isn’t quite as personal but I also try to add a little joke and a word search puzzle. Those are available for free online. I’m hoping it truly does brighten the days of the recipients. I appreciate your thoughts and wish you well.
