Advice From A Cactus

Get plenty of sunshine

Accentuate your strong points

Be patient through the dry spells

Conserve your resources

Don’t desert your friends

Wait for your time to bloom

Stay sharp

~ Ilan Shamir

>>>>>>>> I'm enjoying the warm weather here in California!

That's all.

      Staying sharp!! ;)
      You know how I feel about cacti. The sun.
      I won't lie, it's been dreamy wearing flip flops everyday. No coats. No mitts...you get my drift.
      My mom hugs you back. Thanks for that.

      Taking good care. You do the same, ya hear me?
      Hope you keep getting stronger and on the mend! Sounds like it. Yay.

      Me too. ME TOO. It is a cheering up plant for me. Always have loved the cactus.
      My mom is in a rehab facility. That's why I'm here, Mona.
      I wrote about it briefly in a letter. You will get it by the weekend.
      Meanwhile, I am enjoying the warmth! :)

    I love this quote. I hope you're well- just received your post card the other day. California is hopefully giving you some of the desert you miss- tucson gem show is this weekend! I'm headed down there on Monday.. I'll have to cruise around for something that says "lynn." :) Any favorite stones?

    I went to the Tucson Gem show once. I miss Tucson, you know that!!
    Yeah, being here is similar. It's warm. It's succulent.
    Thanks for your sweet friendship. You've been my little bird for so long now. ;)
