CHRISTMAS CARDS

Have you sent your Christmas Cards yet? With the internet you can now send unique E-cards. One reason I like this is because it is less expensive even though it is more time consuming they are created with LOVE. It is very therapeutic for me to create a picture that is unique to each person I love. My family and friends told me that they put my card in a frame and hung it on the wall. Knowing my cards were not thrown in the trash or put in a box that is full of cards that you don't or won't throw out never to be seen again unless you happen to look through that box warmed my heart and brought me back to earth.

My family and friends have mentioned that they really miss my homemade cards. I am currently a starving artist and apart of the unemployed statistics. It's sad but due to searching for work and feeling overwhelmed I have realized I have no time to send a homemade card or the money for stamps to even mail cards this year. I never realized how much a simple homemade card brought a special gift of caring and love to everyone I love. This brought tears to my eye because I have realized that I take no time to do the things that bring joy to myself and others.

I am caught up in the rat race that this recession has brought and I need to get back to the basics. Life is not measured by what your net worth is but by how much you give from your heart to others. I am beginning to make my New Years resolution and that is to stop worrying about things that are beyond my control and remember those that love me. Instead of worrying I will use that time to draw pictures on cards for the people I care for.

I need to get out of self and realize that there are many people that are in the same situation if not worse. I walked pass a Salvation Army bell ringer and even though it was just a little change I had left over from a dollar. It was enough to make me feel that I was trying to help another person and doing the right thing. I realized that money problems will always be there but family and friends won't. Take the time to let them know you care even if it is with a E-card. It will not be forgotten. Here is my e-card to you. Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight.
