A Handmade Life

There is so much to be unhappy about, and I feel like it is even worse for people my children's age.  A corrupt government, making all the wrong decisions and for the wrong reasons, a president who cannot speak for more than a minute or two without lying, and elected officials who ostensibly are there to represent the people instead cow towing to big oil, the gun lobby, and oh so much more than only makes their future bleak.  And they are trying to cut off healthcare to the elderly and the poor, while sucking Social Security dry.  The one ray of hope that they have that I admire is that they are valuing things that are made by hand.  They are growing vegetables and making bread.  These glasses are made by a housemate of ours from college, Marcia Wiley at Wiley Ware, and they are to me a great example of bringing beauty and art into your life in simple ways that matter.  There is hope, but you really have to vote.
