This week was tough for a variety of reasons that don't need to be spelled out. However, my mailbox was continually sunny, and I want to thank each of the following for taking the time and effort to send me happy mail:

u/RhapsodyTravelr - Crocus is a really amazing plant, I agree, but it is a specific species that produces saffron. Thank you for the plant card!

u/tyedyeamish - Are you looking forward to the Summer Games this year? I think we're both old enough to remember the 1984 games too - thank you for the equestrian card!

u/fancykiddens - Interesting song! I can't say as I've heard it before, but I will give it another few listens and try more of Father John Mistry's music too. Thank you for the card and recommendation!

u/kittycatcon - Happy Lunar New Year to you - how do you like to observe Lunar New Year? Thank you for the card!

u/sufficient_letter883 - The sea otter card is so cute! I just want to cuddle them... but those claws would stop me.

u/aepeyc - The Moose is Loose! Thank you for the great card - I love watching animals at play in the snow.

u/KK6321 - Yum, soup! It's one of my favorite things about cold weather too, especially with some fresh bread! Thank you for the card!

u/spookyoneoverthere - Love, love, love the kitty postcard, thank you!

u/melhen16 - Thank you for the pretty bouquet card, quote, and stickers!

u/catnatomy - Thank you for the clever word of the day upcycled card! I love upcycling for the same reasons!

u/moonchica - Thank you for the Lunar New Year card! We like to make a celebrational meal and share it with friends! Hope you enjoy Chinatown!

u/mysteryvus - Love the handmade Lunar New Year card and stickers, thank you! Let me know if you do wind up getting the Dragon?

u/dianapenpal - Thank you for the cute Lunar New Year card and envelope! The bonsai stamp is really cool too!

u/necogasuki - Love the Grumpy Cat card and goodies - I hope you receive mine soon in exchange!

u/monetmonkey - Thank you so much for taking the time and sending mail to cheer me up, hoping the surgery will happen in May. I appreciate you!

u/feellikebeingajerk - Thank you for the Holocaust card. It's something we should never forget happened, but you are right - RAoC is a good way to help diffuse the negativity in the world. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

u/dwrfstr - Too cold! I hope you are staying warm and reading what calls to you! Thank you for the card and stickers - what did you think of Scarlett?
