Christmas 2010

Sometimes the people in our lives mean more to us than we realize.

This year I built a garden; I had to build a raised garden as the soil in my yard was not good for planting. A friend helped me retrieve lumber, more friends helped me build the frames, and a neighbor helped me move the garden beds into place. I had enough soil to fill one bed, but another friend, who had drifted out of my life, drifted back in long enough to see that I needed help and brought me two truck loads of compost to fill the other garden beds... shortly there after that friend passed away. I miss my friend, but I also know that there are many wonderful people who are a part of my life and for me my garden is a growing symbol of that.

Onto the Next Task

So I survived yet another semester with yet another grueling month of final projects, paper, anthropology, etc. So now I have time to pay attention to my next task, Christmas shopping! I make many of my presents, but some I must buy, and thank goodness for extra-long store hours because I still tend to leave my studio after 8 or 9 o'clock. But I digress...

Last night I was Christmas shopping, and finding all sorts of things I needed. I bought a sweater, socks, a picture frame, all for me and only found one thing for someone else. I haven't been shopping period in so long I do need stuff, but I feel guilty, suppose to be shopping for other people. Does anyone else have that problem too, or perhaps it's just me?

Problems ehh? :-) Anyway, Merry Christmas!
