Howdy, Bead Friends!
Happy first day of Winter! I'm
thoroughly enjoying the snow and cold weather. Of course, there's only a couple
of inches of snow, and it hasn't been below zero, yet.
I grew up in Ohio, but I spent
the last 25 years in southern California, and I'd forgotten just how great
actual weather can be! Snowflakes are simply beautiful, and there's something
so comforting about being in a warm house when it's cold and snowing and the
wind is whistling around the eaves. Most days we have a fire in the fireplace,
too.
I still don't know why, exactly,
but I feel really good lately. I can remember what it feels like to be depressed,
and want to curl up and die, but I don't feel that way now. I'm working on
just accepting it. <grin> I want to know why! <whine> But mostly,
I'm grateful that I'm enjoying life a lot more than I was.
I have actually been beading, and
using my creativity in other ways. Working on my website, and webstore, for
one. Teaching classes, Working on new patterns, Making snowflakes and other
Christmas gifts....
I like starting new projects, but
I have "completion issues". It's hard for me to actually finish
anything. So I think that'll have to be one of my New Year's resolutions!
Wishing you and yours lots of love
and contentment this holiday season and in the coming year!
Happy Beading!
