I woke up today feeling better than the past two weeks sinceI started dieting. Although I was past the painstaking part where my body is craving for sugar and the headaches, drowsiness and lethargic feeling are now gone, I still have a long way to go. I need to get back to my ideal weight to achieve a healthy BMI, and that means 5kgs more to lose. Dieting can only work if I have enough self-control and discipline. Period. Oh, but if you prefer a faster way to lose weight, be very careful. Read and search for product feedbacks, like hydroxycut reviews, before plunging into a quick method to lose weight. 

Anyways, I am sharing this cute postcard from Finland:

The card shows a picture of one of Finland's well-loved story books, Little Frogs by Pienet Sammakot. I could not find any other information about this story book but I found out that Pienet Sammakot is also a music artist. Apparently there is a strong link between frogs and Finnish culture, as I've seen so many frog postcards and frog mentions in many stories, children's nursery rhymes, poems and songs. If any of you have information about this, I would appreciate your help :)

Don't you just love the cheery bright colors (mostly yellow) and the cute animal drawings? The animals' eyes are all so expressive you could somehow tell what they are thinking...  I notice though that there is no frog in it at all, which is funny because the postcard is culled from the pages of the Little Frogs storybooks.

This is a SUOMI Finland stamp issued in 2009 for first class mail, from a set of 5 in the greetings series. It shows a cup of tea or coffee and I assume a just-finished letter. This is how I want my afternoons to be, postcards/letter writing  with a cup of warm  beverage,  perfect on a rainy weather like we are having now on this side of the planet.
