I'm just sitting here in the sunshine feeling grateful. Tomorrow is my birthday and I get to think of how I want to spend the next year. The first thing is that I'm going to Seattle to visit my best friend from elementary school, Elyce. I really want to spend time getting to know her teenaged son, Noah. Next I want to take a camping trip with Richard out to the Smoke Creek desert. Sometimes the muse really speaks to me out there. And I love the desert light and the vast loneliness. Next I want to go to the Bay Area to visit my sister Amy and my Kids and Richard's long time friend.
By then the Holidays will be approaching. I always do well through those sparkling days. I love the sparkling lights, the gifts, the cards, the trees, the music, just everything about the holidays. But after that comes the production months. January through May. I have to figure out how to get some work done during that time.
My passion is my jewelry blog. But I don't know how to go any further with that than I have already. I think what I'll do is let myself off the hook for the future and just enjoy today. It's so beautiful. And I just feel so happy and grateful to have seen my family this weekend. We had a really nice family party. Amy was up for the weekend and everyone had such a good time. I've read that when people are on their death beds what they regret most is time not spent with loved ones. Work is a way distant second concern.
