Sometimes I feel like I can grow stagnant, and at times likes these, I like to think about the things I'd like to accomplish, learn, or still do in my life.
Here are a few of those things:
1. Make jewelry. I really enjoy gifts that are hand made, and I have long wanted to learn how to do some of these things. My quilts made by my Grandma and a dear cherished friend are among my most beloved possessions. I also cherish the earrings that have been given to me that my friends have made specifically with me in mind, and the necklaces I've received from friends (and Leland!) that are hand crafted. I have several crosses, a necklace called Sunshine, and beaded symmetrical Navajo style necklaces. I adore them. Earrings are probably my favorite and friends encourage and tell me that it's not that difficult- watch youtube, very few things needed, and then wah- lah! I love the idea of playing with colors, being creative, and giving a gift that I made myself!
2. Learn how to play chess. I don't have a clue how to play chess, and it looks really interesting to me. I like that it's a thinking game. I loved the movie King of Life about the ex convict who redeemed his life and started a chess club for inner city kids. It inspired me. I wonder how learning chess could help me think better? I would love to learn.
3. Visit the De Grazia Gallery in the Sun and go on a tour of the land, etc.,
4. Have a yard sale! I don't have a yard, but perhaps I could use someone else's yard or combine with someone else to make it happen. I'm thinking fall, when things cool down a bit...
5. Watch the VHS's I have on New York City. PBS Documentary.
There are so many more things, but this is a start! Here's to life and growing and living and learning and expanding!
