Warm Thoughts and Sunshine

Yesterday was a cold gray day, filled with dark thoughts and crabbiness...like Lucy from the Peanuts gang with a scowl on her face and a dark cloud overhead. But today, I woke up to sunshine in my window and six-year old Sam serenading me with the song "Good morning, Lord!" I just know it's going to be a good day.

My husband called from work to let me know that he's taking a week of vacation in February. Hall-e-luiah! I so need to get out of town for a while. This football-crazed city is really starting to get on my nerves. Indy is whipped up into a Super Bowl frenzy, and I just don't get that excited about football. I mean, Bible studies get planned AROUND football, women where Colts jerseys and jewelry to church, and Sunday School children actually ask you to pray that Peyton Manning won't get injured at the next big game. It's IN-SANE!

But today, I will not let it get to me. I think I'll take myself to Starbucks today for a coffee, and then I'll go to the florist's shop for a nice bouquet of spring flowers. I may even take the dog for a walk. But what I will not do is stay in this house and mope today!

I made this card for yesterday's color challenge. I don't know...do you think there's enough pink here? I found this little vellum envelope in my stash...I think I got it from the Dollar Spot at Target a LONG time ago. I decided to use it as my starting point.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope your day is sunny, too!
