Fighting the Cabin Fever Blues

The other day while doing my least favorite chore (laundry) and feeling blue about the awful winter weather, I came up with an idea to beat the cabin fever blues: send out a few pretty postcards to friends near and far. In this age of blogs, Facebook and emails we often forget how much fun it is to get REAL mail in our REAL mailboxes. I didn’t write anything profound or clever but I came away feeling uplifted and rejuvenated; kind of like how I felt when this photo was taken of me a few years ago. My husband and I rented a rustic cabin in Minnesota and I will always remember that week as a time when I was able to shed the cares of the world. So here’s to surviving the winter of 2009-10! Keep warm everyone!
