I loved looking at each of your images. Also, I read your "Welcome" message and I believe we were meant to meet. I, too, believe in everything you stated, especially "OLD is beautiful and Green is better". I'll be exploring your blog more in depth, that's for sure. <br /><br />Merry Christmas!LivingVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336394423821565221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555171132259127071.post-69810985500278251742013-12-17T08:43:40.242-05:002013-12-17T08:43:40.242-05:00Oh, how I have found much delight in visiting your...Oh, how I have found much delight in visiting your blog lately, SO inspiring to the soul!

No busy malls for me; I just want to dance to the rhythm of another intelligence. LOVE!

You are so right about the simple beauty and delight of the written word, a sweet note, a kind gesture on a piece of paper. ;) I truly enjoy sitting down and writing out my Christmas cards each year and always include a special note or comment on each.

Mother has been in Assisted Living and her mail is the hi-lite of her day. Only wish more would keep in touch. I had a little post to the grand children somewhat of a reminder, time to press it forward. She never forgot a birthday, a holiday, a sick grandchild, or just a fun day to drop them a line. And to my sons amazement they are all in their little "saved by mother" box of goodies. <br />Congratulations on your magazine publication. I will venture over, I treasure good publications.

As I looked at the postcard, I was enjoying reading someone's message, written in French from the early 1900s. This post of yours and this lovely postcard are reminding me once more how handwriting a message lasts for a very long time and that these things really "do matter." <br /><br />Sending you warm hugs and wishes for a simple and perfect holiday!!

The simple things like just enjoying the dance of the wick, the connection with an old friend and listening to my own mind. Thank you for reminding me about handwritten cards.
