I often wonder if when a week is shorter (say from a Monday holiday) if Wednesdays are actually harder to handle than in a normal (M-F) week. Today dragged on ... perhaps it's because I have so much going on and am feeling very overwhelmed by life in general ... this post is a digression from jewelry ... but this is where I'm at today.
Having hurt my knee in Derby about 6 weeks ago -- I found out on Friday that it'll be another 3 months or so before I can be on skates without serious risk of royally f'ing up my knee for good if I fall. This was a hard hard thing for me to hear ... cuz I really like derby.
Tonite I told my captains and some of my teammates about my prognosis ... and everyone was extremely supportive of my decision to take a break from derby ... and very saddened ... it was strangely invigorating. I am definitely part of a TEAM ... for the first time in my life I feel very much part of something ... the good and the bad.
But I've decided to take a step back. Since we moved here I've kind of put jewelry (and life) on the backburner ... and this injury may be just the wake up call I needed to realize that I need to get back into it.
I LOVE making jewelry ... the creation of it ... the look on a lady's face when she sees it ... and the gloriousness of seeing her in my creation ... all those reasons are the reasons I love making jewelry. It gives me a sense of giving and creating that nothing else in this world provides.
As hard as it is to write everyday about this and the journey ... but it's keeping me on track and accountable ... and that can't be a bad thing.
