RTBTCKI Now is the Winter...
Jan. 17th, 2020 10:00 amWinter came back this morning with lower temperatures and wind making it even colder. I can feel the cold coming through the glass of the window. Not looking forward going outside today but it must be done.
I have caught up on Project Runway which is a guilty pleasure of mine along with Ink Master. It is an interesting group of designers. Having now watched the format for a while, I can see how some of these people are being edited to be a specific type and they are probably nothing like how they are edited. Makes me wonder how I would be presented on one of these shows. Probably the older mom type which seems to be my public image.
Phoebe has been bouncing around and knocking stuff off of tables and the like. She and Mewlan played a game of chase that went all over the house. They are curled up on the couch next to each other asleep.
I had a question about a book the other day and I asked the author about it. I got a quick response that clarified the subject for me. Then I stopped and thought about what just happened. The author is one I have been reading since I was a teenager and was one of my favorite authors as I grew up. Now we are friends and keep up with each other’s lives and family. If I could tell my teen-self what would happen later in my life, I would not believe myself.
I know I am very lucky that I have lived the life I have lived. I have had opportunities that others only dream of. I try to share the wealth when I can. I love introducing my friends to each other especially when I feel they need to know each other. I feel blessed every day.
Puppetry has given me the life I currently lead. If Peter had not bought the puppet I created, then I would not find myself sitting in my house writing this. Caroline would not exist. She has thanked that puppet more than once for bring her parents together. A number of puppets that I have given to people created lifelong friendships which I treasure every day. Teaching others how to do what I do is, I believe, my calling. I want others to know how to build puppets so I can see what they do with it. And they have done splendid things indeed.
I am grateful for my life.
