Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

QUESTION OF THE WEEK - 12-03-2022
What do you do with greeting cards once you have read them?
Well once I took a poster board and cut the fronts out and make like a puzzle out of them. I usually enjoy them now and then unfortunately throw them out.
Normally toss though two Halloweens ago I had Mom's card she sent me and I said to myself, I'm gonna keep this one because I think it's the last one she'll send. And it was. She passed over the summer and I still have the sparkly fun Halloween card. She always taped thirty one bucks inside each card. Since she wasn't here this year, Hubby got me a card and taped thirty one bucks inside. I cried happy sad tears. It was wonderful.
I usually keep the ones from family and eventually throw them out years later when the bundle gets too big to stuff back into wherever I had them. I think I have about ten Christmases worth in a suitcase up in the cupboard where some decorations are kept.
I sometimes reuse them in craft projects or I put them in recycle. However, after Mike died I was looking for some paper work in his office file and I found that he had saved every card, letter, and little notes I'd ever given him. Wow, that opened the floodgates.
The go into the trash.

ReplyDeleteThe nicest ones actually become our Christmas decor (i just don't have time to do any other decorating). They stay in a box and i use them each year.
