Cool crisp autumn air~ Woo finally :) I love a cool feel to the morning air it is so refreshing. Work is still rough as they haven't replaced my buddy yet and vacations must go on. I keep looking behind me to see if I have worked my ass off yet....hmph no such luck, ahh well such is my life.
I took pictures of the monster rose but haven't put them into the computer as of yet so you'll just have to live with bead pix again unless I can find something else of interest to put up.
I have been reading an excellent book I discovered in my grandmas things. It is inspiring in a way that I feel is very personal as if it were written for me. The book is called Simple Abundance I am sure it was popular a few years ago as the title was familiar when I first noticed it. It isn't what I assumed... What I am trying to say is it is helping me see things in a new light and the path is clearer. The entry for September 8th starts with a quote from Helen Keller "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable." and then further along is this " Perhaps you're skilled in one occupation but not thrilled about using those skills anymore. Some other work does secretly thrill you . But the stakes seem too high."
Yep I am thrilled, not so secretly, by lampwork and glass and some of the stakes are high.
Saturday is Grandmas memorial it has taken a long time for everyone to prepare for this.
She passed away in April and I miss her every day. She was a wonderful woman, a perfect lady
and an awesome fisherman ;)
