Yesterday I chatted with another artisan who expressed dismay at the fact that he was finding the new young artisans so very young. I told him to own his age, his experience and embrace being a mentor. This is the path I have chosen for myself. I think it's a good one.

Doesn’t matter if we worked outside the home or in it, if we had paying jobs or were the professional volunteers. We deserve a rest. We deserve to enjoy the fruits of our labors while we are well enough to do so. To stop and smell the roses, drink our morning coffee without pressure, and read books. Lots of books. After all, it takes more time and effort each year just to keep these aging bodies of ours moving. Well done, indeed, Laura!Peg Cherrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773197169705414183noreply@blogger.com
