The weekend looms large, I wonder what joys it holds? For me it is going to be really busy this weekend. It will start with F1, move on to Farmaid and then go back to F1. And then there is the rest of the normal weekend stuff to take care of.
I think I’ll make a couple of paperweights this weekend. So far this week I’ve made 14 candles (well, 13 – one was a bit of a failure). I knew it was a mistake signing up for a Hobbycraft account. This is going to bankrupt me.
There is something about making things that improves the mood. For some it is physical items like woodwork. For others it might be photography. Or it might even be something like writing a blog. But I have noticed a lot of people seem to be starting to get creative.
Reminded me of the parable of the bent manager
I want you to be smart in the same way—but for what is right—using every adversity to stimulate you to creative survival, to concentrate your attention on the bare essentials, so you’ll live, really live, and not complacently just get by on good behaviour.
Seems a bit fitting – using adversity to stimulate creative survival. The second part is an interesting challenge. Concentrate on the bare essentials in order to really live. Another reminder that stuff stops you really living.
