we were meant to live for so much more


hmmm.... well, yeah... the word dichotomy came up a few times today and I think it's appropriate for my feelings today. On one hand, things are so great and I am feeling super-lovey-dovey-pinkcloudy-swoony (see my new thermos from CB). My show is in a few weeks and despite the fact that they are yet to be framed and the postcards have not been printed the work is done. Craftland is over and I sold about 25 pieces! The weather has been incedible and in just two weeks the semester will be over and I will have a new bunch of more advanced students! So while basking in the lovely pink glow I also have a little grey cloud hanging over.
I am finally coming to the realization that one of my closest friendships is ending and while it's probably best it's hard for me to let go of people. I hold on long after I should and try to make things work even when they just won't. I am also becoming more and more compelled to change things to make more world-socially conscious. Maybe it's my new obsession with HG TV's "Living with Ed", maybe it's the little things that keep popping up that are making me think twice. It could be the strange article I read in JANE about freeganism and reclaiming food found in dumpsters. How far should we go? Am I doing enough? Will I ever?

Grrrrrr......little grey cloud you're blocking the cotton candy clouds and swirling hearts in my eyes.
