Do you remember the first time you received mail? Whether it was a card from grandma or just some promotional materials, part of you felt wonderful because the world knew you existed. That child who’s day was made by a simple letter is still somewhere in us, only now it takes something a little more personal from the post office to perk us up. Make someone smile today with these four reasons to send a card.
Give Thanks: You’ll feel good about yourself, and make others feel good too, when you remember to send thank-you cards for the gifts, services and favors from others. When a friend invites you to a small dinner party, send a card. When a coworker introduces you to your new favorite restaurant, send a card. You’ll quickly be amazed at all the reasons you have to be thankful.
Offer An Ear: When bad things happen to those we love, we may feel as if there are few things we can do to make it right. One thing we can do is to let them know we’re there for them. Send a card to someone going through a tough time, whether it’s a job loss, a divorce, or something else, and they will remember it forever.
Make Someone Laugh: Next time you’re out shopping for groceries or wandering the mall, make your way over to the funny section of the cards and choose one for a close friend or family member. They’ll appreciate the unexpected bit of humor, and you’ll be glad you added a bit of cheer to someone’s day.
Just Because: Visit any card shop and you’re sure to find cards that can be sent for no reason at all! Choose one that’s blank and use it to write a letter to someone you love.
