365 Days of living

365 Days of Living.......

Winter has returned just in time to still say its winter....Tomorrow is the first day of Spring~!~! But looking around my house all I see is snow.
Once when I was feeling really snowed in and depressed because winter was lasting much too long, I decided I needed to embrace the snow. So I went outside and made a snow labyrinth. This really was fun to do and  I challenge you to do something creative with the snow in your yard too. I don't see it melting away before spring gets here.

Winter can last until April where I live. Its a time for reading. Its a time to stimulate your brain. I like to check out new magazines that I don't usually read. Just so I don't become bored with the usually ideas.

Here's a magazine I picked up last week, "The Mental Floss, Where knowledge junkies get their fix". Well how could I resist!!! or you can go to mental floss.com for their online magazine.

One of the article's I will share is about Hallmarks best selling Mother's Day Card....this card has been a best seller since 1939!!!

Being an artists who turns her canvas artwork into note cards, I found this interesting. What are people buying and buying and buying for over 50 years???

It's the Pansy Card. A sweet little cart filled with pansy's, with a note that reads, "To Let You Know I'm Thinking Of You". What's on the inside , "Pansies always stand for thoughts-at least that's what folks say. So this just comes to show my thoughts are there with you today."

SWEET, SWEET, SWEET.

You can bet I will be painting pansies some time soon.

I would never have known this if I didn't pick up a unfamiliar magazine.

"Stimulate your brain. Don't allow  yourself to become bored with life."

this from the little book of 365 ways to energize your life.

Be Inspired,
