I love the New Year holiday. Not because it’s a chance to start new but it’s a chance to take stock over choices I’ve made, blessings I’ve received and dreams of where I might go. This year is a bit of a new journey for me as I go back into Corporate America. In this economy I was more than willing to go permanent and use the safety net of a permanent job and benefits to allow me to do only what I wish to do with my pottery instead of having to make pottery based on financial decisions. Kind of like the benefactors of old BUT I’m my own benefactor. Rather freeing.
My thoughts to have the monthly giveaway turns out to be a blessing also as my work commitments have changed. Later today I will be posting the next giveaway and it is one of my favorite types of pottery to throw. I’m also looking forward this month to actually getting some design work for special trophies for several dog competitions this year. I have the mental images, now I need to start getting the test pieces done to see if they actually meet what my mind sees. With Bob’s (the husband) neck surgery life went into survival mode. With advanced medical procedures these days it’s too easy to think the recovery can be as quick. Yes…we were guilty of thinking he would be up on his feet quicker.
So Happy New Year to all of you. I hope you have a chance to look back and appreciate the blessings, learn from decisions, look forward to possibilities and appreciate what you have right now.
Micky!
