One Day Later, Can I Trust Me, Will It Last, Still No Cussing Please

At the moment I just would like to say to the world that I had a feeling.

I put on my left shoe.
I am a paraplegic and have very limited feeling in my lower extremities.
I'm living in the woods in Maine.
The temperature inside before the fire gets stoked isn't all that much greater than the temperature outside.
There is over a foot of snow outside.
I guess the temp inside is more than not that much greater than the temp outside because it is more than 35 inside right now and less than 20 outside, but then the fire is going now. Come to think of it, it never really does get much at all below freezing inside even in the morning but it gets like zero and even less outside so gee- I mean go figure, you know(?).

Anyway, the point of all this is that I put my left shoe on.
Well not that I put my left shoe on but that when I did put my left shoe on I felt a feeling of coldness in my foot, in my left foot. That's where I put the shoe.

Actually it's a sneaker, but my foot felt cold. I don't know if I've had that feeling in the past 16 years. Maybe occasionally while stretching my feet I've noticed dim sensation. But a feeling like coldness?? Now, sixteen years in?

Sometimes gifts are funny things.
But still they are gifts.

Roughly 3 and 2/3's, no cussing please

Alright then- I haven't been bloggin much at all since things got thick back in March or so.

The year is ending. It is at or about the winter solstice. It is around when people are trying to end the year's work and begin the work of the coming year.

I am writing here, simply so that something will be written here.

My wood projects are incomplete.
My papier mache' projects are incomplete.
The mallet series has still not been finalised and presented.
The number drawings are wondering where I have been.
The lap-top and the cameras are a mish-mash of mish-mash-ableness.

In other words I am quite grateful for all that has come my way this year and I am confident that I have done my best with all the wonderful opportunities which have arisen.

Thank you to everyone who has shown me kindness and/or otherwise participated in my life.

Enjoy the Big Dark. For the next six months it's just more and more light.

Best wishes.
