Are Thank You Cards Extinct?

One of the very last of my typewriter thank you cards by Markings:(

I received a real thank you card in the mail last month.

I'd spent some time helping out a friend and she sent me the most beautiful card to thank me.

It was wonderful to find a pleasant piece of old-fashioned mail in my mail box for a change.
I could hold it in my hand. I could read the handwriting and feel the hug that she sent.

Most of all I felt really happy that she went through the trouble to pick that card out, think of something sweet to write and actually paid for a stamp and mailed it.

With the amount of text messaging and emails people send everyday, a 'thank you' is most likely passed off as a quick abbreviation: T.Y. (or the one I use most is TU).

How do you say a sincere thank you? And when was the last time you received one?

Do you send letters or cards, do you make a phone call, or just send a quick-high-tech-message and hope that the receiver feels the 'warm & fuzzy' you're trying to express?

A Dedicatication to Steve Jobs

The story of Steve Jobs is an intriguing one.

An adopted child by middle class parents 

(who were not his originally intended college-graduate parents that his biological mother had chosen), 

he dropped out of college to be who we knew him as today.

It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from or what you have...

It matters where you're going.
