The holiday week is upon us. It's so odd being on the outside of the noise and decorating and shopping and gifting. I'm actually quite fond of it. But it doesn't dispell the desire to bake, bake, bake. I have gingerbread dough ready to be cut and then decorated. I made some gluten free pecan puffs for the holiday gathering we're off to over the weekend. And tamale fillings are current being prepared.
BUT: I'm just going to go paint.
It's strange to be on the other end of the consumption chain. I mean, I have paintings I'm doing that I will want to sell and send off into the world, and in order to do so, I need someone to decide they want to consume them for themselves. I think we're being very thoughtful about what we bring in to consume, whether its food, drink or other tangible items.
LATER THAT WEEK...
The intention was to get this posted earlier in the week. It's Christmas day and I feel a sense of relief that all the consumption comes to a close today, and then it's on to "the year in review" bombardment for a week, followed by the "resolutions for the new year" week.
I just look forward to getting back on the regular hampster wheel, which for ME is no longer a grind of work, but a pathway of art.
That's ultimately what I want to consume.
