A new adventure

"What is important is to keep learning, to enjoy challenge, and to tolerate ambiguity. In the end there are no certain answers." Martina Horner

To learn something new at any point in our lives is refreshing to the soul. Today at the urging of a new neighbor and with her, I attended my first pottery class. We will be making pottery items every Thursday morning for the next 6 weeks. I was very apprehensive. I know I can learn the techniques but it is the inspiration for objects to mold that may stymie me in this endeavor. Fortunately the instructor is very good about giving us ideas and we are allowed to just repeat what she has made. She tells us that by the third week we will be using the pottery wheels and then our creations can get even more intricate. Watch for pictures of my creations. It was fun and it certainly made me feel child like to be modeling clay.

I thought and thought and thought about if I should leave this message for everyone one to see...finally I decided yes. Happy birthday girl friend...as you look back over the past year I know you will feel sadness but I also know that you will feel an abundance of love coming your way from many of your dear friends. The love also showers upon you from above. You will feel our admiration and the wonder we experience each time we think about the grace and dignity you have taught us. Much love to you on your birthday and happy birthday to your Mom on Sunday. With love always...Rosemary
