AIDS Memorial Quilt
Sender: Alienne
Text on card: The International Display of the Entire NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt October 9-11, 1992
Inspired by the folk art traditions of quilting and sewing bees, the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt is an international symbol of the fight against AIDS. This 13 acre display contains 20,064 panels, each bearing the name of someone killed by AIDS.
In 1987, the AIDS Memorial Quilt was started to memorialise Americans who died of AIDS. Portions of the quilt’s panels, hand sewn by family and friends of those lost to the disease, will be displayed throughout Washington, D.C., during the month of July. The AIDS quilt was created by an organization called The NAMES Project. More than 25 years after the quilt’s launch, it still receives new panels every day, each a small shrine to someone’s loved one taken by AIDS.
I'm awed by the size of the project and its efforts to bring the awareness of AIDS to the forefront. Such an inspiring way to document the lives of people taken away by AIDS....

Automat

Edward Hopper, Automat, 1927
The painting portrays a lone woman staring into a cup of coffee in an Automat at night. The reflection of identical rows of light fixtures stretches out through the night-blackened window.
What do you feel when you look at the picture?

Catching Happiness?!

Sender: Brianna
Let's Catch Happiness!
You cannot buy your happiness,
'Cause happiness is free.
Don't you know, or can't you guess,
It's there for you and me.
And what you do with what you've got,
Can change the way you feel.
Just do your best and smile a lot,
You'll keep an even keel.
'Cause happiness is made for YOU,
Just take a bite and see
That happiness is what you do
With something that is free!
