(no subject)
DSL went down last night so I spent my time petting Ankimo, reading, eating leftovers and finishing a necklace for someone. I took photos and sent them, so, hopefully she will like it. I have another one to make for a friend's friend, and a sculpture to mess around with. So much glass, so little time!
The crocuses are going nuts now in the backyard, and in the metal planter pot. I need to make some slug traps. There were VERY cute ones at the garden show, they looked like mushrooms, but I can make ones myself.
It's still clear and sunny here. Where is that rain?
I've been doing much thinking these past months. Life is really improving for me. I'm trying very hard to not worry about things that previously weighed me down with potential hazard, now I try to wait until something is a challenge to work with, instead of spending stress and energy on things that only live in my mind. In short, less mountains from molehills, and waiting to come to bridges to cross them. And I did achieve some victory with that at the end of 2004, beginning of 2005. There's still miles and years to go, but I got a little better at it. As these thoughts and worries still arrive, often, I try to look at them gently, along with the other old habits I have in thinking that still surface. Acknowledge them, but not let them have the power they did previously. It's a long road ahead, one that will be full of challenges as I work to better myself and my place in the world. But I've started to unlock the door to being happier, healthier and more content with this adventure that I have been given by being born. It's certainly not all wine and roses, but it's often full of them, I am very blessed with love and close, good friends here, as well as the chance to rethink everything, which I am doing, and planning for the direction of the future I want to take. While I cannot truly hold the reins to my world, I can try to guide them, but also be open to what just comes my way. I am a very lucky person to have the support network of friends and family that I do, and I appreciate that. A large section of folks who read me know me in person, and I thank you for being around and listening. Those who I don't know, same deal...and I wish perhaps we knew each other more closely, so that we could better understand each other, for words can only go so far and are often full of dark pockets and hazy meaning.
Ok, that work thing calls.
