Honestly, I am weird. It’s ok if you agree, but as I pondered Lisa-Jo’s prompt today, I held in my hands a pack of 100 freshly pressed, brand new Index Cards and they brought me a ridiculous, undeniable joy.
Stationary, pens, cards are all grand, and truly I love them all…
but consider the Index Card, for a moment.
3×5 straight up possibility, right there.
When I look upon that rectangular card,
my lips curl to a smile.
I’m not sure, but I suspect,
they inspire my inner child!
Not only are they versatile
They stand alone
or neatly in a pile
In my little index card box
Or in my Quotations file
A notepad or journal for other times will do
But there are certain things that only index cards can do
Like help you organize your thoughts,
Or study for a test
compose your latest essay
Or speak your very best
Doubles as mini canvas
Quick list for the store
An artist drawing board,
Captures quotes, votes, and more
Oh, index card you do employ
many wonderful attributes,
and yes, you bring great joy!
Fun, spontaneous I-it’s ok if you agree I’m weird finding joy in this but it’s the little things… and timing, right? Counting my blessings today. Starting with 100 possibilities!
Linking with Lisa-Jo
Enthusiastically, Dawn

Dear Dawn,
Love the index card with scripture. I too like the index cards and use them to help me memorize scripture. Love the card you had…does it come already decorated or did you do that?
Blessings in Christ…Susan

Hi Susan, I used a Stamping’ Up stamp! I also recently started using wash take for my scripture cards…I am loving that my eyes enjoy the pretty of it as well as the words!

Hi Dawn, the last post on my blog is an Ode, not to the same thing but is it mere coincidence? To get so much uses or value out of a product. Isn’t it always especially joyous

Jen, would you mind sending me a link, I am having trouble finding you… sometimes I am dense in figuring out WordPress or details of getting around! Would love to read your ode…

Hi Dawn, I think dense is a fitting description of me and my trials with my blog, at times, even as long as I’ve been using it. I’m only now noticing these updates at the top of my screen.
So the odes were merely coincidences… Wow! Some coincidence. Here’s the link to my ode:
