Just taking a moment between the chores of getting a birthday party going...to ramble about how I feel that life seems to be such a 'crap-shoot.'
You just never know what the day is going to bring. I got up yesterday to go help my youngest daughter pick and preserve some pears. I had no idea that I would have to sprout muscles to get this heavy ladder on the roof of my car all by myself. Guess what ... I did it just fine. I guess I am stronger and smarter than I think I am.
Friday is usually a marathon pottery day for me but I chose to spend some time doing this pear thing with my daughter and for my husband. It took most of the day but was so satisfying. I enjoyed my girl's company. And I enjoyed my sweet grandchildren.
When I got to the studio I found all of the pottery that had been in the gas kiln had been over-fired for a bisque. It was all positively toasty. I was so sad. I feel a little frustrated that all that work (not just mine) is compromised. It happens to the best of us I guess. We end up having to punt and seriously pray for a good outcome in the end.
Life and pottery...yep...pretty much a 'crap-shoot.' We just have to make the best of it. One day at a time.
