Its the thought that counts

Okay so we were allowed to take home our English exam question booklet and one of the articles that he had to analyze made a point to me about something. I will write what is says and then explain what I mean

Picture this: it's valentine's day and your pattern has just emailed through an e-card complete with dancing sheep and the words "I luv ew", how sweet, you think. Just as you're about to show it off to a colleague, you notice her opening a thick, red envelope that sprinkles fragrant rose petals as she releases a handwritten letter. It's a note from her boyfriend and by the time she puts it down, she's blushing pink, leaving your e-card somewhat pale by comparison.

I would like to point out that people communicate in different ways and some people find an e-card a sweet gesture (I for one like the pen and paper more so but I am happy either way) its the thought that counts. If I received an email, that was not a forward and was written for me, from someone I liked it would make me smile like crazy! I am a big believer that is the little things that count. People say that the way to a mans heart is through his stomach, the way to mine is by small sentimental gestures even a text!
