[Nina]

the older I get, the more I realize how an objective concept of 'perfect' is an uncomfortable fit...the idea of a subject definition is much more comfortable...it allows for individual and situational use...permits room to adapt and modify...ensures that the expectations of others, and of myself, are flexible enough to guarantee that when one's best is done, it is good enough (if even just for the moment) as we catch our breath and move on...

also on my busy mind this morning is how funny I find one of the bags I am finishing up...that was one of the things I loved about the shows I did recently, how strangers got my sense of humor which I put into some of my bags...it's a little scary when I hear myself giggling as I sew...my version of whistling while I work...I whistle at other times...

and, also, how thankful I am for the lovely sun which is coming in through the windows and the open back door...
