How do you keep in touch with family and friends? Are you a technology person, texting and emailing? Do you talk on the phone a lot? Or do you still use the “old fashioned” way, snail mail? I love all the technology out there today. It’s amazing how it’s changed so much in my life time. But I am still a strong believer in mail. You know, the kind that is delivered to your mailbox by a person. An actual person! Who doesn’t love to go to the mailbox, open it up and in the middle of the pile of junk mail and bills, there is a card. A CARD! A greeting to say hi from someone special.
Card buying for me has always been an event. I love it. I go to Hallmark (yes, I almost ALWAYS go to Hallmark to buy my cards. There are so many to chose from!) I stand there and read cards until I find the perfect card for the person I’m shopping for. Oh sure, I could just grad any old card, but I want it to be personal.
I was so excited to join Hallmark’s Get Carded Challenge because for me, it wasn’t a challenge. I send cards often. What’s the challenge? Hallmark sent me a stack of beautiful cards, some funny, some serious, some birthday and some all occasion. I was to send one card a day to a friend or family member for 7 days. Seven cards, that’s it. Who can’t do that?! The most difficult part of this challenge? Narrowing down who to send my cards to.
I know there are people in my life that don’t always acknowledge when I do something nice for them. I don’t expect a thank you all the time. Don’t get me wrong, I love to get a thank you. But that’s not why I do things. So some of the people that I sent cards to I just need to assume they got it and that it made them smile. Three of my friends who I sent cards to emailed or texted me immediately with a huge “thank you”. One of my friends even posted a picture of the card to her Facebook page and said that I made her day. Which in turn made my day.
