Well, I wasn’t actually a complete slug today. I just don’t have a great answer to “What did you do today?”
This exquisite paper was too fine to use. However, it proved to be exceptional for folding elegant cranes. Despite the temptation to hoard such exquisite paper, I decided to put it to good use. After all, I had acquired it at Kona Hospice Thrift Shop, a place where many items come from the homes of the dearly departed. Perhaps someone had been saving this paper for a special occasion. And what could be more special than a Thanksgiving dinner invitation from a dear friend, complete with pickup and delivery service? So, that’s what I am taking to Thanksgiving dinner. A box of cranes.
And, the crane project is in keeping with my “Use up the good stuff” mission.
Gratitude in The Twilight Zone
Waiting a stop light returning from a 3 mile walk this morning a man says “You don’t know me but I knew your husband. We talked on the pier every day. I miss him. How long has it been?”
Would that I had just one minute, even 15 seconds with Carlton. I would say that I was the luckiest woman on the planet to have shared my life with you. I am sure I said those words to him when he was alive. But, I never really understood how very lucky I actually was until he was gone.
