“Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know “why” I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved. ”
-Will Rogers(1879-1935);
actor, comic, columnist
True enough! So many are obssessed with aging instead of enjoying life and taking things as they come. Now I am not advocating letting oneself go BUT there comes a time when life is too precious to waste time fretting about wrinkles and studying one's vanity.
It's been quite a week here with work deadline pressures, fallout from Hurricane Sandy, concern for dear friends right in the eye of the storm and health concerns for our senior family members. On the plus side we got to spend an informal evening with guitar god, Rik Emmett.
Tomorrow I head back to Toronto to attend the Toronto Bead Society Show and Sale so there will definitely be fodder to blog about this coming week. Stay tuned for news and adventures.
And further to Will's quote above, you may not be able to turn the clock back on aging but you must remember to turn the clock back one hour this Sunday as Day Light Saving time ends. Although I think we all relish an extra hour's snooze, it is always the sign of earlier nightfall and the start of winter here. Light the fires, keep warm and I'll have some bead chat for you soon.
