A Message for You...

Receiving a hand written note  or hand crafted gift is much more personal than an Email.

Every person has their own style of penmanship.  Many things can bee seen by reading a hand written note, the person’s emotions, excitement level, stress, self confidence & simple Joy.  For Example:  When my husband gives me a card just because, (which rarely happens, so when he does it means even that much more), his hand writing is Big and Bold, Confidant and Sloppy!!

When my husband is, let’s say “in the dog house”, (again rarely happens, he is a wonderful partner), his hand writing is small, straight to the point and very neat!

Cards are a simple yet meaningful way to let someone know they are on your mind.  Cards can trigger any type of emotion.

When I was a child I used to love going to get the mail, especially around the holidays or my birthday.  This is when the cards would arrive.  Big cards, small cards, brightly colored cards.  I started collecting my cards, each one sent to me from someone who cared enough or felt obligated enough to remember little me.  I used to have a box full of cards, but unfortunately with growing up and moving many times, they somehow disappeared.

I still have the last card my grandfather ever sent me.  It was nothing extravagant but it was from him.  All he wrote inside was “Love Grampy”. Every once in a while, I take it out and run my fingers over his shaky signature.  It helps me remember many happy memories.

During my college years one of my Male friends had a stalker/ex-girlfriend; they fought a lot.  He had told her many times that he was moving on.  He had even started dating other women.  She would not give up.  So he decided to send her a card that was beautiful, you could feel love, on the outside.  However, on the inside he basically said… “I despise you.  If you ever come near me again or I will get a restraining order!”  After receiving the card, she finally got the hint, she stayed away!  I do not suggest sending cards to people you do not like, but in this extreme case it was a great tool to avoid any further altercations.

Brighten someone’s day…Send them a card.  Even if you forget to call them because of your busy schedule they’ll know you are thinking of them.
