So, they deserve a sincere thank-you — in writing!

Funny how just sending these little cards in the mail makes me feel SO much better than sending an email or txt message.

They’ll feel good when they get the cards too, and have something personal that says they matter to me.

Happiness is not getting what you want, it’s appreciating what you have.

Wonderful!

I hope not — and I will try to do more! http://hopeisinthecards.org/?p=559 http://hopeisinthecards.org/?p=559#comments Mon, 31 May 2010 13:20:46 +0000 admin http://hopeisinthecards.org/?p=559 Every day, I think of dozens of ways I could spread the Hope Is In The Cards message more.

But then I don’t do them.

I get distracted by work, by bills, by helping someone else.

I am going to really, really try to get better at practicing what I preach. June — let this be the biggest month of HOPE so far!

If you do something to spread HOPE, please let me know. Send a message to info@hopeisinthecards.org!
