It seems so simple.

Every time I write inside a card for someone, my heart starts racing. Beads of perspiration form on my brow. The palms of my hands become clammy. In order to avoid error under this kind of pressure, I always write out my messages beforehand. But last night I still messed up one word inside a just-bought Hallmark original. Bought a second card today. Hopefully it goes better this time.
