Remembering That Every Day Is A Blessing
So yes it is that time of year again, it's my birthday. But this year I am forty and I am really feeling it. I never pictured myself at forty and it is scary. I shyly look in the mirror and find a grey hair. It's my first present of the day, how wonderful.
Making my way to the kitchen a feel my body creaking and I ponder if leg arthritis is beginning. Yes this is the beginning of the end. I saw my future next week retiring with my cane because I could no longer walk or hold a job down.
I go through my usual day of getting the kids off to school and then drive down the road to work in a slight drizzle. Great, as I think to myself, a perfect addition to my mood; rain. As I get to my office I think what a great day it is to walk in the rain from my parking spot to the building and why I bothered even doing my hair.
As I get to the office there are some festive balloons in my office surrounded by the proverbial over the hill you are 40 giant balloons that I get to stare at all day. They mean well, but it sure doesn't add to my mood of feeling over the hill. So I delve into the cake they got me at lunch and think to myself why not, I'll take the calories I'm over the hill anyway.
By the afternoon I am in a basic state of depression and mourning my youth when I see my phone ID spark Lisa's name as it rings. I pick it up knowing that she will be having fun teasing me since she is after all two years younger than me. But she is not her usual self and the teasing has a bit of sadness to it.
She tries not to cry but I want to know what is wrong as she tells me, 'I'm so sorry to tell you this today, but I just found out I have breast cancer and I really need a friend right now.' After hearing this devastating news I feel awful. Here I am in my pity party of one and my best friend just got the worst news of her life. As I console her and tell her it is going to be okay I am slapping myself for being such a selfish idiot.
The burden I share with my friend makes me realize how fortunate I am. Sure I feel older but I can look forward to more years where she is doubtful of hers. How could I be so self absorbed and not see all the blessings around me that I have. I was too wrapped up in my own pity. So as I pull up the drive I thank God for the blessings I do have and squeeze my kids hard and thank the man above.
why are umbrellas black???
Not all umbrellas are black... Now they are available in all colors...
But still, umbrellas are also used to cover you from the sun's Radiation. Black has the peculiar property of absorbing most of the light radiations from the sun thereby protecting you from the heat. Hence umbrellas are black in color.
DIY Cloth Napkins (Chocolate and Zucchini)
I am not very big on what the French call _**arts de la table**_
(literally, table arts), an umbrella term that covers the choice and placement
of dinnerware, silverware, and glassware, as well as flower arrangements and
any other table decorations.
I do appreciate a nicely laid table, and admire those hosts who devote time
and energy to thinking up seasonal themes and handcrafting little trinkets to
prettify each place setting (especially if it's done resourcefully, with three
pieces of string and zero budget), but my own style is definitely more
**minimalist**.
Round white plates (from Crate & Barrel, dating back to our California days),
simple wine glasses (we've been faithful to the C&S range for years), embossed
forks we brought back from Japan, and rosewood-handled knives bought in
Laguiole -- all of this we arrange in five minutes on dark woven placemats set
on our black wood and frosted glass table, and **call it a day**.
Well, not quite. There's the question of **napkins**, too. Unless it's a party
and there's very many of us, paper napkins (or worse, sheets of paper towel
torn off from the roll) feel all wrong to me: they lack ...
