When it rains in BC it is beautiful, when it snows here, it is a wonderful treat. While I was enjoying the breezy sunshine in the Farmer's Market yesterday, there were snowboarders trekking up to the glacier. Such contrast and yet perfectly "normal" for BC.I sold something yesterday I didn't want to sell. Not my body, at this stage there is not much resale value left in this old model ;), but a piece I had just completed and barely had a chance to fondle. Like an elusive lover, it quickly slipped through my fingers and found itself in the arms of another....
Which brings me to the real reason I am posting today. Gratitude.
- The lovely woman who bought my piece actually did take me seriously and sent me a photograph of it. Received with much thanks.
- Someone I taught how to knit a few weeks ago came to the market with a card yesterday thanking me for sharing my gift of knitting with her. I never thought of what I do as "a gift". What a beautiful reframing of my craft.
- Someone requested a custom hat and then did not want it. Why gratitude? It is a new and charming design which will now be retooled as my new children's design for the fall.
- The big fat speeding ticket we got on the way home. A financial reminder to take things slow.
Thank you!
