It has been such a busy couple of months. My book desiging has been limited to creating gifts for the holidays, postcards and greeting cards, and adding to our family yearbooks. I desperately want to get back to designing. I love it. I want to finish our baby books. I have started several of them and have been organizing photos to finish them. That is a task and a half. The photo organizing. It is time consuming but so much fun. I have been indulging in the memories as I browse. It is amazing to me that we have created 9 individuals. Sometimes I herd them like cattle for the sake of expediency but I really celebrate their individuality. Each is an amazing individual full of potential. Little Riley is curled up on my lap as I write this. She is so amazing to me. Little teeny features, big vocabulary. ” Well actually…” is one of her phrases.
I realize with Riley that we are physically connected to our ancestors whether we are aware of it or not, with Riley I created a deck of playing cards that has her whole family a couple of generations back, she sees pictures in our albums or as I’m sorting them on the computer and she knows their names and sometimes stories about them. It is cool to me that she has that photo and story connection with them as well as the biological one.
I am taking a political philosophy class, teaching Shakespeare and mothering. I am as busy as everyone else. My hands are in many pots and I recognize the value of the family history pot. It is a treasure, stories, memories, lessons… The designing part for me is icing on the cake, my life is truly full when I am creating beauty. Life is great.
