Send a little sunshine

I love getting cards in the mail. Little surprises that friends and family are thinking of me. But like phone calls, it works both ways. If I want to receive cards, I need to send cards. I recently found an article called 15 cards you should write as soon as you can. My plan is to pick up a box of cards and start this project right away. The summer is winding down. Fall will soon be here and then, as we all know, short days and long winter nights. Cards will bring a cheeriness to our lives. Even with the cost of postage, the joy you will be sending is priceless.

The Acorn In the warmer months, I spend a lot of time in the backyard, often beneath the cooling shade of our giant oak tree. On occasion I’m sans shoes and socks.
