Want to put a smile on a complete strangers face?
Send a card.
Seriously.
Tuna Girl’s very dear friend Patrick is in the hospital tonight recovering from surgery. Now just how cool would it be for Patrick to get his mail and find a bunch of get well cards from complete strangers across the country- maybe even from around the world (hint, hint my foreign friends)? Yeah, that’d be pretty freakin’ cool.
It's hard to smile when you don't feel good. So, I don’t know Patrick but I’m going to do it. I'm going to send him a get well card because I think it will make him smile.
You should do it too- Jot down the below address and stick it in your purse or wallet. When you’re out and about tomorrow take a moment to stop and buy a card (even a postcard). You don’t have to write something all elaborate just “Get Well Soon” will suffice. Stick a stamp on in and drop it in the post.
You have to admit 10 minutes out of your day and 39 cents (or 21 cents if you send a postcard) to make someone feel better is a small investment for a huge payoff.

Here's a pic of the card I sent. Yeah, it's another crappy cell phone pic but you get the idea...

That is incredibly sweet! Thank you so much. You've moved me to tears.
There’s just something about ink on paper that brings a smile. Maybe it’s transferred energy. E-cards are nice but they don’t cut the mustard. Plus, who doesn’t love getting a card. I’ve saved tons of cards from over the years- even those I got during horrible times. It’s nice to look back on an uncomfortable situation and know you might have felt alone but you never really were.
Thanks lessake! That's just awesome! I'm sure Patrick will love seeing a postmark all the way from Estonia!
