Buying cards to send to people. Friends who are struggling -- friends who are far away -- friends who you just want to send cards to. And writing nice little messages inside, or putting in positive quotes / stickers / whatever. Makes me feel good AND makes the other person feel good. :) You know what I like even better?

Right now being in the card section makes me kind of depressed because I want to buy lots of cards to send to friends but I don't have any money to do so, and I end up feeling like a bad friend because others have recently sent me a lot of cards and I can't return the favor :-( I do find comfort however, in bookstores. I love finding a few random books/magazines, going to the cafe to get coffee, and sitting and reading for a few hours. I especially love the self help section :-) I am going to expand this beyond card stores and say that I love bookstores in general – both the card section and all the other sections.

I end up reading ALL of the cards and laughing my head off. I LOVE the freshink cards (the ones that are square - not rectangle). I can never just run in and buy a card.

I end up getting upset over the cards that I won't ever have someone to send to, and the cards that nobody will ever send to me. Sigh.
