Is it still Tuesday. Ya.......but it seems to stretch on and on today. I was at the shop last night until 4:30 (in the morning). Just pouring molds and cleaning. I don’t know whatever in the world came over me at 2:30 in the morning to start pouring molds. I must be nuts. Na......just there isn’t enough time to get everything done that I want to get done. I’m not even half way there. And I’m opening next week.

On a positive note. Pierre wished me best of luck with the business and hoped that it does well. That was just the bestest thing. Made me feel really good. I guess everything was suppose to go well that day. Cause it sure did.

I love my friends. I never thought I could love friends. But I do. Even the ones I never actually met face to face. I guess I just love life. I love it that I have the shop, I now have something to do. Something to work for, a goal. It beats doing nothing. I don’t know how people can go through life not living, not doing a damn thing. Don’t they realize how beautiful it is. How beautiful they could make it just by living. I suppose that is why I like Cy so much. He’s one of those people that just live. I have this other friend, Marva. She is totally cool to talk to and do things with. But I have found lately that I’m frustrated around her. I think because she sits and talks and I really enjoy our conversations but I never get anything done when I’m sitting and talking too much. Of course i’m not the master of multi-tasking, I think that award goes to Ecliptic or Cy. Anywho it isn’t her fault she needs to sit more and stuff.. She has Rheumatoid Arthritis, and a couple of other things that make life difficult for her so she can’t do the things I do. I play ball and even if she wanted to she can’t. Sometimes we don’t realize how lucky we are. How lucky we are able to put our feet on the ground in the morning and get out of bed. <----one of Marva’s sayings. But you know, it gots me to thinking. She is right about that. We never know when our last day is. We never know if we are gonna get another chance tomorrow to do things right or to do the right things. I really try to do the right things. I don’t live my life with regrets. So......if I make a mistake I say sorry or I fix it. I do thinks thinking I’m not gonna go through life thinking what if I did this or that. I do it. Although sometimes I forget me, then I remember and sometimes those two things just put everything into perspective.

So......won’t you take my hand and walk with me. Let’s skip together on the beach today and skip rocks on the water. Let’s enjoy life.

I love you my friends.
Take care.
Lot’s o’ love
Christine
P.s. i really love my husband, he’s the most specialist guy in the big whole wide world damn i really miss him right now. i wish he were here to skip rocks on the water with me.
i love his smile. he’s got this great smile. it starts at his heart and glows on his lips. he’s got this twinkle in his eyes. the smile twinkles in them. and when he’s sad it’s like seeing the ocean in his eyes even if a tear isn’t anywhere in site. and did i mention he can frustrate me like no other. he he
