\"cards\"<\/a>Happy Friday!<\/p>\n

Over the last few months, I’ve received a handful of unexpected mail. It’s all the more surprising and especially sweet to receive handwritten notes and packages in this digital age (I’ve been guilty of texting birthday messages to friends). You can see a sampling of cards above — I’m smitten with the Coco Chanel quote card — “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous” — from an insanely talented woman<\/a>, a relatively new friendship that’s one of those instantly familiar, comfortable ones. The beautiful flower card is from a fabric guru extraordinaire<\/a> and all-around cool friend. We had coffee just the other day, and I love how much I can geek out about fabric content and textile prints and sewing notions with her. So fun! I just found the whimsical and lovely illustrated card in my mailbox this week. It’s from a dear freundin<\/a> (“friend” in German — is that right? You must check out her amazing Anna dress<\/a>. AMAZING). There have been other generous postal gifts and I get extremely sappy and blubbery with happy tears each time.<\/p>\n

And these friendships have all been through this little blog. The internet is a powerful place. I also realized today that each comment I get feels like a piece of unexpected mail every day. I appreciate every comment, but I am particularly blown away by the overflow of kindness to my rambling, insomniac thoughts earlier this week. Thank you<\/em>. I’m working on getting more sleep and I’m incorporating the sage advice and tips I received.<\/p>\n

*********************************<\/p>\n

Use your head and root for red,<\/i><\/p>\n

White may fight but we’ll beat them instead<\/i><\/p>\n

Give me an R – E – D<\/i><\/p>\n

What’s that spell? RED!<\/i><\/p>\n

Go Red! We’ll fight till the end!!<\/i><\/p>\n

It’s field day at K’s school and there will be a lot of ball-tossing and three-legged racings going on. This annual event signals the end of the school year (even though there are four more days left), and spirits are high, if a little primal and gladiator-like judging from the chant above. Time for me to go root for K’s red team! Wishing you a weekend filled with cheer and celebrations of fathers!<\/p>\n

*********************************<\/p>\n

Today’s my birthday<\/em>
\nThe years have crept up quickly*<\/em>
\nFilled with gratitude<\/em><\/p>\n

*I’ve been reading this book<\/a>, enjoying the lessons from centenarians — I have a ways to go before I reach 100, and it’s good to have some guiding posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
