Nu's fever spiked to 102 degrees, the grandbaby was still in the NICU, the skies were as gray as the consequences of the election looming over us... I dragged myself out for a walk hoping to clear my head.
When I checked the mailbox on my way out, I found a treasure trove: postcards from Engie and bestie KB, a just-because gift from SD, and a bookmark and button from LB--each with a feisty message to remind me we're going to fight and that we're not alone.
Yesterday, while in Detroit, I got posters with the Grace Lee Boggs quote, "The Only Way to Survive is by Taking Care of Each Other," to put up at home and in my office... and this was my beautiful community taking care of me.
Time for me to pay it forward and pass it on... I have such a mental block about going to the post office, but I'll learn to get over it.

Feel better, Nu!
What a loving and supportive haul. XO
Good luck
We are all together, even if we are apart.
But ooh 102 fever! And baby in NICU. Hope they are both doing better today.
That's a high fever. I hope they are on the mend soon. That does sound like quite the treasure trove, as you say.
No to Nu's fever! Too high! Hopefully they bounce back quickly.
I'm happy your mailbox was filled with encouragement!
I love all of that mail you received, so supportive and encouraging.
I hope Nu's fever has gone down, that is NO GOOD, and that baby is out of the NICU soon. <3
Wow! That is quite a haul. I hope Nu and grandbaby are doing better.
Thanks, Nance!

Thanks, Engie! I was filled with fiery passion! (I do hope Nu is less fiery, haha)

Thanks, Jenny!
