Rita wrote that these card shows some of the special doors in Fredericia. I tried to research about them but to my dismay. I found a nice quotation about doors though, that is very appropriate to what I'm going through right now.

There's difference between fear and paralysis. And I've learned that I don't have to "grow up" to be open to opportunity, to be willing to step through doors without being pushed. I just have to be brave. I just have to be slightly braver than I am scared.

I continue getting helpful comments from my readers and blog visitors to my post last Friday. Know that I am sincerely grateful from the bottom of my heart for all your nice words and advice. I've started to put into action some of the recommendations in the comments and like I said on my post yesterday, I'm starting to smile and feel better now. :)

Life offers a lot of opportunities. The worst that a person can be is to be hopeless, as there's always a door that you can open. And whatever the circumstances you find inside, you always have a skill or a talent to make the most of them. If all things fail after you've given it your best shot, remember that a door is meant for two things: entrance and exit. You can always exit through that door and open another door until you finally find what you're looking for.

So...which door? I guess we can start from that blue and white one on the upper left corner of the card? ;-)

I'm sharing this with Sally's Blue Monday. Check out her page for more blues!

The missing blue door handle.

This door is missing a handle. I have two pieces of evidence to think that it used to have a handle: (1) the blue paint on the door, and (2) the pink flowering plant in front of the door.

Check out the postcard in Aritha's blog to know what I mean. ;-)

Now, head over to Smiling Sally's page for pretty blues on a Monday.

A Hearty Welcome!


I love heart design on doors. For me, the hearts are signs of a hearty welcome by the owner of the place. I like this card because it allows you to see through those hearts of what's outside. And did you notice those newspapers inserted on the railing design? I'm thinking this postcard photograph was taken in an early in the day since the outside still seems to be just vaguely illuminated by the early morning rays of the sun. Same thoughts? Or not?

I've always wanted to feature a postcard with a heart here in my blog and link up to Clytie's Guest Heart Thursday -- finally, one is up!


Happy Thursday everyone. I hope the week is winding down into a heartwarming close for all of us.
