the daily grind

the last three tuesday mornings have been a remarkable treat. i'm taking a pottery course on using the wheel at the visual arts center of richmond. ana taught jayme and me how to throw a number of years ago, and now i'm able to utilize those skills once again. each of these weeks i've found a coffee shop to sit and work in before heading to the class. it's been a treat. until...this morning...walking into what appeared to be a coffee shop, but not in the sense that you should stay. the only seating was outdoors. not cool in january weather, even for mild today. all i ask is for a seat, maybe a cushion, a table perhaps.

alas. what i am learning is that on these special tuesdays i have a little more patience. though, i do want to curl up (figuratively speaking) to that cup a joe and do a little research/reading/work to start the day just right.

am i now using my blog to vent? it's been a rough week with sad news coming in various directions. i think i'm just in need of curling up to a cup a tea tonight and taking a few deep breaths--sending out some good vibes and love to those who need it. you know who you are.

peace.
