The Gratitude Project Sept 13-17
Sep. 17th, 2008 10:03 amWhere do the days GO? I could swear that I just posted something yesterday, or the day before. I need to flip back through my calendar and find the gratitudes that I scribbled in:
Or do I? It's all been about yarn, spinning it, knitting it, and of course, petting it.
In a broader sense, it is really about settling comfortably into the joys of September, cherishing the cool mornings and warm days. The harvest continues, at home and afield. The tomatoes have been prolific, the basil is bushy and fragrant, and even the poor mint, overwatered to the point of powdery mildew, is thriving after a severe pruning.
I am also thriving.
I promised myself that I needed more color in my life, and I'm acting on it. My personal style is so far from the conservative, slick black uniform of NYC. I love rumpled cottons and linens, ethnic designs, blues, greens, and turkey reds. Black is a fine accent to set off the COLOR.
Today I am knitting on a sage green alpaca scarf, and it's nearly finished. I know I'm in the middle of a strong, practical, creative phase because I'm having a hard time with words. My productive energy is silent, visual and internal. It comes from the earth. Words are external, sometimes superfluous.
