Hello!

Hello! Hope this card and post finds you enjoying beautiful spring weather, end of the school year, or perhaps just the longer daylight hours! This card was in response to one of those challenge templates (weeks ago and I forget where!). I really like how it turned out. It didn't thrill me at first - but it's "grown" on me (cards do that sometimes if you sit still . . .) LOL

The details . . . hmmm. The kraft cardstock base piece is from Jillibean. The other papers are all Close-to-My-Heart as well as the sentiment stamp. The flower/vase is from PTI the Nina Brackett Lovely Shelf stamp set. (wow, quite a mixture there!).

I've been meditating - and I LOVE it! Sunday morning didn't go very well - I couldn't stop thinking about all the things I wanted to do that day - but I found that I can relax and meditate easily in the evening. So, for me it will be evenings now. Last night I had 15 minutes and stood up so refreshed! Tonight I went to my 90 minute Yoga practice - getting home at 8:45 and fixing dinner, etc. so no time for a meditation practice tonight. I'll pick it up again tomorrow.

My SIL is still making progress. I know words can't express adequately how much your sweet comments, words of encouragement, expressions of concern, and your prayers have meant to me these past few months. You are all blessings from God. Thank you. If there has been a life-lesson for me in this whole situation it is that we are not in this boat alone - we are loved by people we don't even know, and it does matter.

Namaste.
