Cards

Many of my friends know that the postal service is my friend. I love getting mail and also send a great deal of mail. It is unusual for a day to go by without sending at least one piece of mail and it is very rare for the post person to pass our house without something to drop off and most of them it is a bundle. I have the elastic bands from the mail to prove it.

I buy cards but the past few years, I have started to make my own cards using my photographs. The positive comments have which inspired me to continue making the cards and then sending them or sometimes giving cards as gifts and hopefully brighten some one's day with a card(s).

I was reminded how much cards mean when I went out for dinner with my husband at a Kelsey's. We chatted with our waitress and the end of the dinner not only did she drop off a bill but also a card wishing us a nice evening and commenting on the activity we were going to be involved in that evening. I know that the card was from the restaurant and there is probably a campaign on the part of the restaurant to have the staff chat with patrons but the card works and indicates that the wait staff listened and paid attention to the patron. Nice touch. I would go back and the food was good as well.

I know that postage costs but try it send a card or a note and brighten some one's day, let them know that you are thinking of them. I am always surprised and pleased when someone tells me many months and sometimes more than many months how much my cards meant to them. It encourages me to keep it up.
