I'm not implying that I'm great at sending cards for thank you's or just thinking of you's, but I do acknowledge that when I receive one, I'm touched. In the age of email and electronic communication (which has its distinct advantages), someone taking the time to send a hand written note means something. The card doesn't have to be fancy, the note doesn't have to be long, and all I can think is, "this person must think I'm special to take the time to do that!"
You don't have to subscribe to my experience, but I do encourage you to think about it. The next time someone does something for you that really touches you, I encourage you to send a hand written note and see what type of response you receive. Seriously, no pressure.
And, remember, mother's day is tomorrow. If you don't send a physical card, you might consider
Hallmark.com. Sometimes, the thought is enough.
