There is a saying here in Texas "If you don't like the weather, just wait awhile, it will change." Sunday evening I wore a skirt and sandals to church. An hour later I wished I had worn pants and shoes. Monday morning I went to work wearing another skirt with sandals. By noon I went home and changed into sweat pants and tennis shoes. Monday night we pulled out the covers to keep warm while we slept. This morning I dusted my boots and put on corderoy pants with a sweater. Here it is ten o'clock and the sun is shining warming up the day and yet the teachers and students are complaining that the rooms are cold, so we turn off the air conditioner. I know that if I wait awhile, they will be complaining that the rooms are hot. In life, change happens. You have to be prepared to change with it. If not, you too will be complaining. To be prepared for the weather change, I keep a jacket at work. As for changes in my life, I try to keep prepared for whatever life has to bring and think of any changes as a positive instead of a negative. Thinking positive makes it easier to adjust to any changes in life. After all, without change, life would be boring. Here in Houston, the weather has changed again, it turned out to be a beautiful day. I think I'll go out and enjoy this nice weather. How is the weather in your part of the world?
The colors of a stained glass window when the sun shines through is magical, but in a mosaic piece the grout is what makes the colors pop. I have been working with stained glass for over twenty years. I love the sound of the score, breaking and cutting of the glass. The pictures you can create with pieces of glass are endless. It is so exciting to see the final project and selling a piece of art is thrilling. E-mail me if you are interested in purchasing a piece of art.
