My favorite Christmas gift this year was a Washi calendar from Japan. The graphic is actually an embedded postcard and so at the end of each month I going to try to send a postcard to someone somewhere in the world. That sounds like a task I can accomplish without too much stress!
Maybe I’ll even learn a little Japanese in so doing.
Unless I’m wrong, this is going to be a year filled with quite enough stress, thank you very much GOP. The agents of chaos have won powerful positions by inciting hatred and feelings of superiority over “the other.” The Blue Meanies walk amongst us. Therefore, the only answer is – LOVE.
I remember when this song was released, the Beatles were at the end of one of the most productive artistic runs ever. And there was John saying it didn’t matter if there wasn’t enough love in the world. Such a simple lesson and yet true.
2025 – the year the Blue Meanies meet their match. One can only dream.
Saying nothing in particular 
That’s a beautiful calendar and I love the postcard sending idea.
The Japanese are very resourceful – I don’t know if these calendars are available in the states. I’ll have to check around.
Ah … I think my gift is still in the mail. It was a pound of cheese, so whenever you do get it, the aging process will have made it better … I’m sure or I should say, I guess so. Duke
I’ll warn the postman!
Lovely calendar and postcard idea.
Here’s hoping we all find some peace and love in the new year.
💕
Amen to that!
Yes, it has begun.
Happy New Year, Jan!
I miss John Lennon. Hs message was positive and powerful. The government hated him.
LOVE your calendar. Have fun!
Yes, so it begins, Jan. Keep spreading the love and light, and the postcards! What a fun way to share some kindness and joy. Great idea.
The calendar looks like fun. Things don’t always turn out as expected so fingers crossed for a good 2025.
Indeed Robbie. Surely you know my favorite emoji for the year?
🤞🏻
Haha, indeed
“Et ça recommence…” (And it starts again…)
I can only hope the agents of chaos just trip over each other… 🤞🏻
And yet, love is really all we need.
(Love that calendar.)
