Winter 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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\u2019s lives and family. If I could tell my teen-self what would happen later in my life, I would not believe myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am grateful for my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
