I ENCOURAGE any of you reading this to do the same. 37 of the 87 I provide cards for- have no visits, no mail. Maybe more. Your post touched my heart in the right place! and I love the patchwork background.

Many years ago, at a young, I was having severe joint pain. I was very discouraged so imagine my surprise and joy at finding a card and note in my mailbox from my aunt and uncle. I have never forgotten my feelings and I try to share that same goodwill with others!Connie Porter Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234596850866029756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-80903256445322122682017-06-12T08:24:56.852-04:002017-06-12T08:24:56.852-04:00Thank you, Marilyn.
