Life is full on roadblocks. There is a relationship between the size of the roadblock and the strength one has to overcome it. Sometimes hitting the wall means you can't bounce up - or, at least, not easily or quickly. What defeats one person on a given day is what it is. There are no excuses. There are circumstances. There are rationalizations. But it is what it is.
One can say, "I am better than this." But----- if this is where you are. At this moment, this is as good as it gets. That is not to say - I quit, give up, I'm not good enough! I have more tolerance and acceptance of what is, how strong I am, where I have struggles. I try not to let difficult times dictate what choices I can make and where I go from here. There currently is a tomorrow.
I am not excusing or apologizing. Sometimes " I CAN'T". But I will. I have friends and family and God.
This blog is spotty. There are many empty months. I started this form of communication for my family and friends who are not geographically close. I wanted to share my explorations. I still do and hopefully this blog will be full of the wonder I have for life, what I see and make and want to share.
Right now I am hopeful. I have made two new vessels and I am happy with them.
A am going to a three day workshop later this week and I am looking forward to something new - inspiration and companionship.
I have seen the glass empty. Today it is more than half full. I will forge on.
