I have learned alot of things thru letterboxing but one of the most useful in my everyday life, is the intense colors I see in nature on my walks. From pastels of spring to earth tones of winters, these colors I bring into my real world and end up using them to help me make my everyday choices in life.

Last month as I was getting ready for work, I choose an odd combination of redish/orange long sleeve v-neck, layered with a blue/white/gray overshirt. Sounds odd and I didn't understand why it went together but for some reason it did. It felt really nice. Then I stepped out my front door to do my barn chores and discovered the exact same color combination was in the sky as the sun was rising and peaking thru the clouds on our winter horizen.

Letterboxing is more than just boxes, more than meeting new people. To me, it's about change, and seeing the world around me change with the seasons and learning that people can also change. Thru the darkness, the sun will rise; the clouds will disappear, and if you look very closely, not only will you see the rainbows but you will be warmed in the bright sunshine.

Thank you AQ for bringing fun and adventure into my life and helping me to stop and smell the roses along the way. Your job here is so much more important than just a web site. You are touching and changing people lives everyday. Thank you.

So any new and refreshing New Year's Resolutions this year?

I'd like to hit 250 finds and 100 plants

I am getting my eyes checked next week, and then I'm going to attempt to carve a new, super small sig stamp! I'm backed up on carving projects.

*peering through monitor* Yep, you still have both eyes. Feel free to cancel that appointment and save yourself the trouble. ;o)

For just a second, I misread that...

Scary....just thinking of someone peering back at me and the terrible condition I'm in when I write. No shower, first thing in the morning and still sipping on my coffee. Good thing you CAN'T see us! You might shut down the site. :O
