This has been a very very very interesting month.
Below is a list of what I know:
1. Heart palpitations are amazing and cause you to reprioritize everything. I have spent so many days over the last month with my hand over my chest crying and asking my body what it needs.
I tried acupuncture and it felt really good, but drinking the herbs I've been given seems to be exacerbating the problem. So: no more herbs. I will be trying a mostly raw diet with as little refined sugar as possible.
I have already lost three pounds alone from not eating as much dessert. Oh how I miss my ice cream with whipped cream nightly!!!
2. At the beginning of next week I will be on vacay for a few days while travelling to Northern California ( Bay Area!! ) to go see about a job with Anthony. I have been dreaming about a little bungalow with a front porch.... might my dream be closer than I thought?
3. Sometimes the USPS loses things and it makes me sad.
4. I will be moving the shipping prices of very expensive things ( over 100 ) to reflect insurance and Priority Mail w/ delivery confirmation, for a total of $7.00 shipping for luxury items. I cannot afford to lose something so precious!
5. There will be a very lovely ring in the Metal Shop today
6. There will be a great custom order in the Leather Shop today: one of my lovely buyers is sailing the high seas for some months and I got to make the Ship's Log book!!!! Wow was that fun.
7. Wednesday is the biggest gig of the year for me in Redlands: The Performance Loft. If you're in the vicinity I highly recommend you come and see: two full hours and some full band stuff: tons of duets, tons of love.
8. I adore you all: tell me what is making your day great ?!
Things making my day great:
ReplyDeletea post from you because it reminds me always to remember all of the good things in my life
a kiss from my dear dog
a head rub from my dear cat
Good thoughts from my house to yours on all you have going on.
Things that make today a good day: My sister will be having her baby any time now, my kids are well fed and funny, I have a hubby who loves me (and vice versa) and most importantly I am learning to focus on these things and not all the other "stuff". Thank you for helping us see a sunnier side of life. Break a leg at your show, and as always, love the new pieces in your shop.
ReplyDeleteAnn, I echo you on the head rub from your cat! Pat your big dog for me :)
ReplyDeleteSusie - Thank you so much! Those are amazing things - a brand new life! - wow :)
My day is great because i have been able to actually concentrate for several hours on schoolwork, and because I am holding tightly onto a small bright kernel of hope for a happy future.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog randomly...from a google search on sugar. Anyway, very cool stuff you're doing! Have fun in the bay area and don't forget it's the best place in the world for sourdough!
ReplyDeleteI made yerba mate, added milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and sipped it slowly.
ReplyDeleteI remembered that even through the ups and downs, my sisters have always been there for me, both family and "adopted" sisters :)
Even with frustrations of working full time for someone else, my dreams of creativity and a home studio thrive in my heart.
Someday, somehow...
As always, your posts make us contemplate the good in life along with the difficult. Don't despair! Everything happens for a reason...
ReplyDeleteGood things today:
-my cat purring next to me (making it hard to type)
-an email hello from a dear friend
-the lovely nurse helping me when I got my MRI
-the score from Elizabethtown
