9/11

I know I'm supposed to feel thankful for what I have (especially today), yet I am most unhappy.  I'm healthy, I have a loving family, I'm bright... but I just can't shake these blues.  What is Gibbs rule #5?  Don't waste good.  I know that my talents weren't being used to their ability - but how am I supposed to convince strangers that I can do a job - and do it well?  It's like... having to come up with a new brand strategy for myself.  Ugh!  How... well... modern.  OK... happy moments - took a walk with the dog in the conservancy, weather was lovely.  I enjoyed seeing everyone's 10 on 10 (I even got comments from others on mine!)  Welding class... I remembered what I was doing (sort of) and am working on a flower project from remnants from the high school kids' CNC machine project.  I've welded together clusters of these flower left overs and will put them on a stalk of springy sticks... with some cut out leaves...  I think.  Another woman in the class turned them into turtles.  Clever.
