Also, I keep a lot of cards! It's cool because I have a sack full of cards and some of them date back to the olden times when I was but a child.

EoFF, don't lose hope! Keep the faith! Buy cards!

Even better, make cards! Sometimes I make them. I generally buy as blank a card as possible because there's no point having store bought messages on them that some cards come with; speak from your heart.

I haven't had to buy a card this year because I met this lovely young lady who works in a card shop, and so as a means to woo her into my special love nest I bought all my cards for this year at once, I still have dozens!
