The Right Message With E cards

By: Avi Solutionz

I woke up this morning feeling lonely and blue. You see my wife is away in England and without my soul mate it is hard to get motivated and do anything at all, let alone work. Then the sun came up on my world with an E card in my Google in tray. It was an E card as a post card. Not so much a 'wish you were here' E card but more a 'won't be long now till I'm there'.

From the Cotswolds with love and snow. My lover is in England for just a few days, visiting family. She has no time to shop and buy a stereotype snapshot of Dickensian Bourton on the Water. Write a brief message, stamp it and post it and hope it gets to me before she herself returns. So what did she do to let me know she was thinking of me? She made an amazing E card She took a lovely photo of the sunrise over the snow covered hills of the Gloucestershire countryside.

She downloaded the photo file to her laptop and then uploaded it to an E card site where she gave it a sincere personal message. Don't worry I won't embarrass you by repeating it here. Anyway it was just for me. Suffice to say it made me smile and gave me just the boost I needed to attack my day with vim and vigor. An E card is so much better than the old postcard because it is there at the same time, or within seconds of the thought that gave rise to it.

Watch your hard drive! Now I have completely changed my view on E cards I always regarded them with suspicion. How important can a happy birthday wish be, if someone can't be bothered to seek out a proper paper card with a clichéd poem or standard wish? Is there any real meaning in a thing you can only see and not touch or keep? And wasn't there a recent Internet virus scare about an E card attachment. I would never have opened my E card had I not recognized the secret words only my wife and I share. You can't be too careful when it comes to the integrity of your hard drive.

Well my E card of the Cotswolds is printed out and smiling down at me from the white board over my desk. It is giving me the warm glow of closeness with someone who is still over a thousand miles away. A paper postcard could never compare with my beautiful E card

Naturally I did the same thing immediately and our hearts and minds touched across the length of Europe. We live on the Costa Tropicale in Spain so I immediately shot to the roof terrace and took a photo on my mobile phone. I put a gecko and some flowers on my return E card and zipped it off back to her Blackberry. A little Spanish sunshine in the gray mists of an English winter. But more importantly E cards can put your thoughts and feelings almost instantaneously in the mind and heart of the recipient.
