Lately I have been working in my studio throwing pots, and mixing glazes. I even tried to raku twice, but I am having trouble getting my kiln to temperature, can’t get it over 17oo and I need to go to 1830.
I have been writing someone who builds kilns about this, and I hope we can resolve this problem. It is so cool here; I wonder if that is why I can’t get it heated up good enough. I have been through a huge bottle of propane already with no pots to show for it.
Oh well, nothing comes too easy,
Speaking of things not coming easy, I am seeing light at the end of a carved out donut I have been milling around in forever. With so many deaths, divorce, teenagers, more teenagers, a man, menopause, well, go figure, times have been hard, but you know what? I have persevered, and I am becoming wise after all, Good thing we gain that, because it looks like we lose everything that was ever familiar, like a memory!
Actually my memory is returning. I have been learning the most incredible stuff, things that no therapist could tell me or help me with, no book wrote about, no pill could fix. (progesterone is a cream)
I practice Reiki, and coach, and through working with some people, I have been amazed at what I myself can see for them that they cannot see for themselves, and what I could not see for me.
I have been creating ways to deal with trauma, depression, worry, fear, anxiety, relationships, etc. I have a great track record with other people, and I see that what I glean from working with them, and sharing with friends has benefited me incredibly.
I may be older, but I am wiser, and closer to writing that first book (of many I have begun). I plan to take some classes to get better at throwing and working with glaze chemistry, maybe I will even go back to school for that grad degree after all!
Life is amazing, just when you think it totally sucks, puzzle pieces come together; bio identical hormones are made available, and BAM, as Batman says, WHEW, life is pretty good after all.
Ready for round 5?
