The beginning

Last week was snowy and cold. My friend Rhonda posted a new status line on her facebook page. She said she wanted to dress in flannel but she didn't have any. My heart wept for her. No flannel? We must have flannel in our lives for sad days, cold days and days that we just want to feel cuddly and safe. Flannel keeps us inside our nests. Flannel is forgiving, understanding and comforting. Flannel is a gift we must give to ourselves and to others, it turns out.

Right away I wrote on Rhonda's wall, "I will mail you my pajamas."

So begins the adventure of "mail my pajamas." I will mail the pajamas to Rhonda tomorrow. She'll wear them and enjoy them until she is ready to set them free, then she will mail them to someone else. I hope that the pajamas will touch many lives.

Pajama thought - If teachers wore pajamas, there would be no pop quizzes, no detentions, and everyone would get an A for trying.
