I know I did a resolution last year where I sent out cards. And I am doing it again this year. Here is a little bit about why...
In cleaning out my desk, I found a card I bought a few years back. I bought it to send as a thank you note for flowers that I received for Mother's Day from my Auntie. I was in Seattle, Washington with my family and it was a painted card of the Space Needle. I brought it home and it promptly got misplaced with the scrapbook souvenir items. I used a traditional card and sent it, wondering where that Space Needle card had put itself. I found it later that summer and put it in my card drawer thinking I would send it to her another time. This year in cleaning out my desk, came across it. My Auntie died that same year, before I ever sent it to her. I came across other cards I'd bought for other people that never got sent. So, I took some time to send these cards. There are two Christmas cards I bought for two different people. Christmas in June! I could wait, but then I would probably forget by Christmastime. Or worse, they could be gone from my life.
Think about it... to whom could you send card? That Space Needle card, I am sending it to my cousin, my Auntie's son. He became a father this year and I am behind on sending something for his little angel. The card may not fit, but the sentiment is truly all that matters.
