For those of us who enjoy living in Four Seasons, but don’t enjoy snow-mobiling, -boarding, or -skiing, at this time of year we are rather tired of staying indoors.  After a while, it actually gets unhealthy–even for avid readers and musicians (like me).  If we are more attentive to the small little changes that are going on outdoors, perhaps that will give us reason to do something different– like send an Alternative Gift!    ‘I’m thinking of Spring’ Card to your friends who live in those warm climates.  You know . . .the ones who send condolence tweets, texts.  Facebook notes and emails to you when they hear the news about the blizzard in your city. 

Try it.  You will get their attention.  And their admiration as a clever and witty friend.
