Day 30:
I’m horrible at writing and sending cards. It’s not coming up with the inside content that I’m bad at; it’s the actual writing and sending of them. Point blank, I just don’t do it.
This one Mother’s Day I gave my mom a gift, one that I thought was really thoughtful. I was in college so naturally money was tight, but I still went out and got a nice gift. What I didn’t get was a card – I just didn’t think of it.
I never seem to.
A few weeks ago a two heaping handfuls of parents volunteered in my class in a variety of capacities. Over the last few days I’ve started writing thank-you notes to express my gratitude. It feels nice.
Today I learned that giving my gratitude with pen and paper is good for the heart, mind, and soul. Now I just have to remember to deliver them…
What are you grateful for?
Thank you cards can be tedious... yes but it reminds you how much people give and like to give, which many people forget all the time... they forget that people like to help and give. When its my birthday, and i get a whole bunch of gifts, the thank you card part is a bit boting but it reminds me of how many good freinds I have and how much they cared enough to get me something I would enjoy.

It's not hard for me to think up something nice to put on a card.The hard part for me is not getting it to sound like one of those cheesy store bought cards.
