And one more thing.....

....for the papercrafters out there.

You simply HAVE TO check out THIS BLOG. I have connected you to the specific post offering the MOST AMAZING blog candy I have ever seen. Once you have signed up for the blog candy- and do not get your hopes up as *I* was commenter #1689 (which was, btw, a very important year in British history including but not limited to the Bill of Rights- yes, the British one predates ours by 100 years!)- you should then go through some more of her posts.

Her cards are INCREDIBLE. They are FANTASTIC. They are STUNNING. I am tired, and although rarely at a lose for words, without a thesaurus, I cannot say more. Just check it out!

Why "Tilting at Windmills"?

When I started this blog in October 2007, there was a story here about my connection to "Tilting With Windmills". Much of what was in that post no longer applies. Much other of it still does. So, here's the story.

When I was graduating from high school, more than 40 years ago, a group of my friend presented me with a print of Picasso's Don Quixote. They said it reminded me of them.

I get upset when things are wrong, even though getting upset cannot fix them. I dislike people who are cruel or petty or self-serving, and am frustrated that I cannot change them. I fight a daily battle with my health, although I know that every new day is another battle. I have a husband and close friends who support me, even when what I want or believe seems crazy.

So, the comparison with Don Quixote is perhaps an apt one. The story encourages me to take on the battles I see, even the hopeless ones. It reminds me to try to see the best in people. It comforts me that, in the end, even if my actions are futile, they are not meaningless.

I mean to try to continue "to dream the impossible dream".
