sol25 March 16 Hearts and Rainbows

 

I have missed way more birthdays than I have acknowledged with cards.
I only once got it together to send out holiday photos when my adorable kids were very little.

I think about sending cards often, but my track record stinks.

I'm sorry.  I try.  

However, I have a cousin who ALWAYS send EVERYONE birthday, holiday, celebration, and thinking of you cards (and more often than not the most thoughtful and purposeful gifts you could think of).

She has never missed a special occasion even while completing Herculean tasks, such as dressing a hundred or so Rockettes for the Christmas Spectacular and fighting a dragon during a Pandemic!

Her energy and dedication are commendable; they are particularly heroic given:

1) the exponential growth of family and friend's trees over time.  When it was just MY two children, it was one thing, but now I have six grandchildren!

2) the scarcity of cards anywhere!  (My local CVS has reduced cards to less than an aisle!)

3) the cost of a stamp is 73 cents!

I hope she knows that the seeds of kindness and love she has sown have been noticed and perhaps, they have taken root in the fledging card creation business of a hard working artist and beginning writer whose hearts, rainbows, and smile depict a love that transcends Hallmark, CVS, and even the UPS!
