Ok, here's the thought that occurred to me. The review for mini food and maybe some sculpting, will be the focus of a three day Marathon Open House Chat. I want to make a Nativity Scene *on* Christmas for my MIL, and what's a celebration without food? We'll do that for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the First Day of Kwanzaa on the 26th. The Kwanzaa day is going to be exciting for me for I have African neighbors who will be receiving the clay gifts for days and days. he he he There's going to be ClayMates who are not visiting family, not observing Christmas (Like me and Hilda), or are missing their loved ones because they are far away. I'm thinking some mini comfort food is in the menu. Sculpting babies always cheers folks up. Folks can pop in as they have time, but I'm going to have an "open house" sort of chat for these most tender of days. Remember "Only the Lonely?" By Roy Orbison? Only The Lonely Roy Orbison (Miscellaneous Movie Songs Compilation) *Dum-dum-dum-dum-dee-du-wah Ooh-yeah-yeah-yeah-yah Oh-woh-woh-woh-o oh-wa-wah Only the lonely, only the lonely Only the lonely Know the way I feel tonight Only the lonely Know this feeling ain't right There goes my baby There goes my heart They're gone forever so far apart But only the lonely You know why I cry Only the lonely (Repeat *) Only the lonely Know the heartaches I've been through Only the lonely Know I cry and cry for you Maybe tomorrow a new romance No more sorrow but that's the chance You've got to take If you're lonely heart breaks Only the lonely That song was my Christmas song for many years. Separation being something I've had to learn how to muddle through. This Winter Solstice is polar opposite to the "verb" Mars in my astrological sentence. I got Mars in Cancer and I've gotten so blue around this time. Ghosts still come and haunt me, to dance their old dance on my heart. So I open my home to other lonely souls, living or dead, to mark the time with me. Busy hands, good fellowship, virtual hugs are all on the agenda for some Holiday Cheer. Ya, this food thread was a good nudge for a topic for our Winter Observance. One year we did a Blue Blue Christmas http://tinyurl.com/6r632 In Silver and Blue, kicked around some fish scale, which has Christian overtones, so this year we'll review comfort foods, baby faces, and keep each other company. Everyone else, who have family and loved ones near by, who are mobile and have the energy to go off, you just have the best of times. This isn't like school where if you miss a class you get a bad mark. This open house is part of our MSAT Outreach. Part of our Mental Health Maintenance for our list members who are not leaving the crib. But who would like to have "someplace to go", where they are known, loved and appreciated. That's the motivation for the three day Marathon. Ya, I'm liking this more and more as I think about it. I face this time of year with a bag full of winces, now it's starting to look like fun. Clay is therapy, I swear... xoxo NJ |
