Something I received in an email this week, however, made me smile and got me through the chaos of what were a hectic five days: an e-card. One of my very good friends, who I had not talked in a few weeks, sent me an e-card telling me she was thinking of me. The message was not long at all, but the thought behind the message really made a difference:
"Amey, I miss you and just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. Good luck with everything! Love you!"
This got me thinking. How hard it is to fill out a small message and send off an e-card to someone you love? Whether it's their birthday, a holiday or just a random Wednesday, it doesn't take more than five minutes to send wonderful thoughts someone's way.
Right here in Boston, there are several places, like non-profits and museums that offer e-cards to send to your family, friends, boss or anyone else I haven't mentioned.
Museum of Fine Arts has beautiful e-cards you can send to people. Some of them display beautiful paintings, while others show off some of the beautiful sculptures. I love the MFA and if you haven't been, you should definitely visit. (For those Boston University students, like me, admission is free for you-- so you should definitely consider visiting!)
I intern at The Home for Little Wanderers, the nation's largest child and family service agency whose administrative office is headquartered in Boston. This organization has adorable e-cards creatively designed by the kids in their programs. The Home helps thousands of children and families each year. By sending an e-card, not only will you be brightening someone's day, but you will be spreading awareness about The Home's mission.
Children's Hospital Boston also offers e-cards, two for this holiday season. By making a donation, you can send these e-cards to anyone you'd like and wish them a happy holiday season. They are so cute and by sending them will benefit Children's Hospital of Boston.
Okay, this may not be a place in Boston (but look at that face!). You can send Boston Terrier e-cards. They are so adorable and very Boston-y!
Here is a list of cool sites that offer free e-cards:
I plan on sending one back to my friend and some people I've been neglecting to talk to due to my busy schedule. I want them to know I haven't forgotten them!
Have you received an e-card recently? Tell me about why it made your day.
MFA free admission = awesome. I'll have to check out their e-cards.
