Just some things...

 

Russian born-American embroidery artist...Katrin.Vates....Rockville..Maryland

Since "...Trump and Vance have been suggesting they would challenge the results of the 2024 election, the Department of Homeland Security took steps to protect the January 6, 2025, session of Congress that will count the electoral votes that will decide the presidency. They have put January 6, 2025, on the same security level as the Super Bowl or a major event like the U.N. General Assembly."

Heather Cox Richardson, Letters from an American Sept. 22, 2024

The Saturday market was rainy and cold, so we had no pottery sales. At least I went home and kept warm while the pots and my friend Amelia and her daughter stayed under the tent avoiding the pours of rain wherever it flowed off the tent. I went back at noon and packed my pots up and they're all wet wrapped in bubble wrap in the trunk of my car till next week. I'll take a towel with me then. And I need to wash the wet tablecloth before then. 
Sunday I woke up and suddenly realized  that nobody is going to take over my life when I'm gone...they already have full lives of their own. So now I need to change around to not what I'm leaving for anyone else, but what I'm living with myself. That's all there is.


Today's other quote:

Gratitude can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. It makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

  1. The embroidery art is beautiful. It seems if they can't win by votes, they will be trying their hardest to steal the election! Take care, enjoy your day and have a great week ahead.

  5. Love the quotes.
    The scary thought nor so much. With a chronic sick Hubby I have those thoughts sadly often, too... Let´s enjoy as long as it lasts...

    1. We only have today to enjoy, you are so right. I may be making some decisions today based on that thought of not leaving things to be continued, but it really is all about today.

  6. A good realization--one I am also coming to terms with.

    1. As I just mentioned to Iris, we only have this one day. I am making some decisions, putting some energies in different ways, because this is the one life I have.

  8. What a lovely piece of work!
    We are heading for an election here. I don't think we need the security Jan. 6th needs. It is worrisome.
    All the best!
