i love buying and giving cards. i could stand in the card aisle for a half hour, picking out the perfect card that says exactly what i want to say. at work, i'm the unofficial card picker-upper for birthdays and other events. i enjoy mailing cards to friends across the country or even closeby, not only for holidays but sometimes just because.
i also like receiving cards. i have boxes of old cards stored throughout the house because i can't throw them away. i wouldn't be surprised if i managed to keep every card given to me, ever. there's just something about being on the receiving end of a quick note or a heartfelt one that brings a smile to my face. i guess this is the reason why i like spreading the cheer to others too.
recently, i met my card-giver match. my coworker will give me a card for pretty much anything. to thank me for doing my job. to thank me for something she would have done for me. to thank me for every day things i don't expect to be thanked for. i almost feel spoiled for the cards.. but every one of them is a sweet gesture, a kind reminder of being thought of and appreciated and noted.
