Belatedness
You know, if they sold belated birthday greetings by the box, I would buy them. No I wouldn’t — because most of the time I intend to get cards to people on time. What’s wrong with me? I’m still trying to get March birthday cards and gifts mailed. So far, I’ve missed three April birthdays with my SIL’s will be here this Sunday.
Spur of the moment occasions are my forte; sadly, planning ahead has always been a deficiency. Oh bother!! I don’t want to give up and throw in the towel. I come from a big family and birthdays are a good time to affirm love and relationship. Shopping is not my strength, unless it’s finding butter for .99/lb and other grocery deals. Maybe I always feel inadequate at choosing gifts, thus I procrastinate.
Any suggestions?

Stop your worrying…..I have known no one who minds receiving a gift after the actual day, especially me
A card or handwritten note is truly a gift in and of itself no matter when it arrives.
On a more practical note, I will send you an e-card from a website which has helped me out of some last minutes situations.
Thanks, Dana. Some of my problem is just doing it. I realized that in the time I took to write the post I could have gotten one card or package off. I’m caught up on March BTW.
