More Postcard Love!

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I did receive a number of extra postcards from Love Notes participants. The great thing about the Love Notes community is that the connections to other individuals are not just about getting postcards. Participants enjoy reaching out in their own way to other participants. Some make cards and notecards. Some purchase them, but all seem to use snail mail to brighten someone’s day and to get to know each other better. I was pleasantly surprised when I received my first unsolicited Love Notes and now I look forward to the occasional happy mail in my P.O. Box.

Here are the extra love notes from October 2016. From Christine B.:

Paris, France Arc: De Tiomphe De L’ecole

“Don’t forget to remember:

You deserve the very best.
Be sure to love yourself.
Pay yourself a compliment.
Continue to make art and look at nature.”

“Imagine…No hate. No judgment. No suffering. Just peace and love.”

“People with Courage,” art by Christine B.

“Courage is feeling the fear and doing it anyway…”

From Lorelei (whose name I love):

“3-D Pumpkin Love,” made by Lorelei C.

“Don’t forget to remember…

to enjoy a pumpkin latte or muffin or both
to treat the kiddies to best treats ever
to enjoy the gorgeous colors of the season
to unplug and read a good book
to enjoy friendships old and new”

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. –Albert Einstein

“Can you imagine using this as transportation to work, shops, churches, or schools? And with kids, packages, bad weather? Oh, my!”

“Don’t forget to remember that life is too short to wake up with regrets, so love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don’t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. Nobody said it would be easy. They just promised it would most likely be worth it.”
