The summer was droughty, and the big willow-oak at the bottom of the hill below our house suffered. A lot of its leaves went brown, became withered, and then fell off. But August has brought some rain, and the tree has rebounded. Fresh leaves right before fall! I thought we'd have to wait until next spring to see bright new growth.
(Okay, so this photo is highly stylized. But the effect shows off the new green, I think, and is more refreshing to look at than my original, merely "documentary" photo of the willow-oak, a tree which is too marvellous for me to photograph well.)

... I draw a card and it says: "Be good to yourself"... after the storm and the earthquake and while waiting in the uncomfortable silence for the tsunami to hit, with me being the island that can't move, can't run... all I can really do is not beat myself for being who I am, indeed...
It's strangely hard to remember to be good to oneself--I like your idea of a drawn card as an external reminder, Meri.
