Instant messages like texting quickly get lost into digital oblivion. Even if you send the most eloquently written note, it will eventually disappear in the scroll of new messages and possibly erased forever in order to save space on a device. 

However, a hand-written note is a tangible, heart-filled gift that lasts long after it is sent. Cards are easily re-read over and over and treasured for years to come. Encouragement written in a greeting card lasts longer!

There are so many ways you can use your spare time, but binging on Netflix can get old after a while! Making a habit of writing encouraging cards will give you a fun, creative, and uplifting pastime that is much more fulfilling!

Studies have shown that an attitude of appreciation and encouragement is linked with better health, sounder sleep, kinder behavior, and reduced anxiety. When you feel better, so do the people around you, which will improve your relationships.
