The Story of my Life

Ah Saturday, and miscellany!

New show: Curiosity Quest goes Green, host is Joel Greene!  Today's topic, how glass is 100% recyclable.

Yesterday was Green Day locally; there is more and more awareness of what can be recycled and reused.  I supposed I've always hated waste of any kind, hence all my interest.

It is also Holy Saturday; to those who celebrate Western Easter, a blessed Easter, and to those who celebrate Passover, a blessed Passover.  Our Pascha in my church, the Eastern Orthodox church, means Passover, as does the Hispanic Pascuas.  Our Easter is May 5th, so many days after Passover, as the Church requires.

Age has been on my mind lately, and time.  I feel as I did when I was 19, and yet, I am not.  Middle Age is a conundrum and a problem.  I told AARP to take  a big hike; yet I'm so tired, and judgmental of myself for not being able to do what I used to.  I suspect much of this is due to work, family, home, homework, and things that are part of other people's schedules, necessary, but draining.

I make things because of these feelings, and have my whole life.  I like making things from found objects, and I love writing.  Music is important, and I still play the piano.  I learned from my mom to needlepoint and embroider when I was nine; it still serves me well.

Find something to make, to create.  Inspite of it all, you have a little tiny bit of something to relieve the tension, and s Barbara Pym would have written, "something to love."
