Another month of Postcrossing is complete, and the January 2025 stats are in. It was a slightly more active month for me, as I was able to ramp up my card writing after a particularly hectic holiday season. This month, I sent 83 cards to recipients all over the world and received 75 cards. This makes my lifetime total sent cards of 10,945 -- so I may reach the 11k landmark this month. My national rank based on sent cards remains 27th, and I remain the #1 leading Postcrosser in Alabama. As I write cards this morning, I will use for the first time a newly issued International rate stamp, the first to be issued over a year. Also, yesterday marked the Lunar New Year, and with it, the newly issued Year of the Snake stamp. Because Lunar New Year animals run in cycles, I was born in the year of the Snake, nearly six decades ago. Such an auspicious year! May it be a happy year for all postal activities. Write on!
