The world’s first postcard, called a “Correspondence card,” was issued in the Austro-Hungarian Empire on October 1, 1869. Unlike our present postcards, they didn’t feature any illustrations. In the early 1870s, soldiers of the French and German armies began to add their own photos to the postcards they sent to their relatives.

Do you think you are a good person? How often do you help strangers? Can you boast about your good deeds? It doesn’t matter what your answer is, today you are simply obliged to perform random acts of kindness, so that’s why the Random Acts of Kindness day was invented!

Spring is so close that we feel it coming, despite the prolonged cold weather. Snow and slush on the streets can’t spoil our cheerful anticipation of the arrival of the sun’s rays, growing green grass breaking through the snow, and budding trees.
