A friend of mine sent me this card:
It fits my hours and days and weeks sooooo well!
The card is from Susan Mrosek’s wonderful Pondering Pool collection (https://www.ponderingpool.com), a selection of giclees, cards, posters, inspirational images and thoughts, and creative writings.
Buy someone a card!
Write something clever on the inside, put their address on the envelope, and mail it!
