Mind over matter


Zach's parents came down last weekend. We spent last Saturday in Boulder, Colorado. We took a tour where they make Celestial Seasonings tea. It was great fun. We were able to sample whichever flavor we wanted. My favorite was the mint room where they keep tons of mint stacked to the ceiling. It cleared my sinuses and awakened my brain. It was very therapeutic. Alll the smells and flavors gave me aromatherapy for every sense of the body.

I've been spending my spare time reading and replenishing my inspiration and direction. I am almost ready to get my fabric and needles out again. I've enjoyed this time having a kitchen table clean of scrap fabric and stray threads. I've enjoyed it but it came at a price. Time. None of my projects have progressed and I feel I've lost time I will never get back. Time I needed, but I wish I was superhuman. I wish I never had a bad mood or a funk. Mind over matter can only go so far. Sometimes I am forced by God (through my body and emotions) to be still.
