My friend came up with a great way to raise money for her Breast Cancer Walk. She makes jewelry and sells it to people for a donation. So, last night we (three of us) sat around in her extra comfy living room with a fire in the fireplace and candles lit all around in great conversation making earrings. I was not in a particularly creative head so I was not making as many earring as they were, but it was fun. This is new and different!
During this experience, like so many like it, we were sharing ideas and stories about life. From tragedy to triumph we each other glimpses into ourselves. This age old practice - conversation - is becoming a lost art in this technological world. Oh, don't get me wrong, I am the queen of tech, but, this was a nostalgic glimpse... the fireplace lighting the room, the candles, the conversation - all reminded me of many nights in my life.
So, my plan for today is nostalgia [granted I started my day by blogging :)]. Working in a religious school where most of my cohorts honor Shabbos by spending sunset Friday until sunset Saturday without electronic convenience and in prayer, is an inspiration. So today I will attempt to turn back time as my new and different. Care to come with?
