Postcard from Percé, Quebec


Thank you postcard from Percé for providing a little reminder that there are very good days in my life. My children think it is very odd that I send a postcard with motivational greetings to myself on every vacation. But these little pieces of printed cardstock are tangible witnesses, they are like little glowing beacon for dark days, when I feel like I am swallowed by the abyss of difficulties. These postcards throw me a lifeline by bringing me back to the vacation on one hand, but also by giving me a glimpse of the future, of another vacation when things will be alright again. This particular card is even more special, because I wrote it on a very nice Friday morning, it shows a sunset - sappy me, I love those - and I mailed it with a whole bunch of other cards to friends in different countries and did the whole transaction at the post office in French!

  2. And I am lucky to have all these postcard you sent me this year right next to this one, reminding me of the fact that if I feel utterly lost and lonely, I just need to call you!
