How DID the kitchen get so knee-deep in clutter? Digging out, as I've an incredible amount of baking & mixing & making to do over the next four days! Happy days, doing what I love for people who appreciate it.
Joan Chittister writes in her book, Welcoming the Wisdom of the World, "It is the ability to spread happiness that moves the world, that gives a person scope, that unsticks me from the obsession on which I am stuck."
Whipping together cupcakes or handcrafting crackers or dipping strawberries in a chocolate bath, then hiking the final products to Glenn Hall or the Brickman Center or Artists Gallery gives me deep-down satisfaction. It's not, never has been, a way to get attention or validation, which can only be won by who we are not what we do, but a free-will offering of edible affection.
That's pretty splendid, in my book!
