Just thinking that I regret missing the opportunity to send cheery Easter cards (or Valentine, even St Patrick's Day) to some folks for whom it's difficult to know what to say. Thinking of my dear aunt who is in a nursing home, another dear aunt in law who is sad to have moved from assisted living to nursing home, my brother-in-law with difficult medical news, etc. These holidays offer an opportunity (excuse? lol) to send ready-made greeting cards that are simply a sharing of the day, not something that has to have the right wording, or will remind the person they are sick, you know?
So many "thinking of you" cards I've seen lately have inside verses that basically say, "you poor thing". Ugh. Have to find some that are actually upbeat. Mother's Day cards of the "special aunt" variety might be good later for my aunts - thinking.
Anyway, next Easter, particularly, I'm going to take a closer look at those Easter cards with ducks or whatever and try to match them up with someone who just needs to hear from me, not hear the perfect words.
