‘Thank you’ are two of the sweetest words I know. I think showing appreciation is a great way to nourish our relationships. In today’s electronic age, when many people send texts and emails, the thank-you card has a special place for two reasons:
First, they can be displayed and read over and over by the recipient.
Second, cards take more time and thought to write than texts and emails and so they tend to have more impact on the recipient.
Recently I received a beautiful one from a friend who also happens to be a client of mine. She wrote to thank me for the get-well card I’d sent her when she had surgery a couple of weeks earlier. She also thanked me for introducing her to my online greeting card service.
I can tell you that my friend’s card absolutely made my day week! It was totally unexpected and very much appreciated. I called to thank her for her beautiful, heartfelt card. She told me that my card was the only one she’d received after her surgery. She’d been given flowers by other people, but she said flowers need to be cared for, and they eventually wither and die. Cards, however, don’t need any care and they can be kept forever.
True. I’d never thought about cards versus flowers before, until my friend brought up the subject. I will treasure her thank you card forever.
