Busy, busy, but keep some time open for OWH!

Crazy busy, but wanted to get an early post out!

Remember that the folks of Operation Write Home will be repeating their Memorial Day Blog Hop this year.

If you are a card maker, why not join the hop?

If you are not a card maker, why not visit some of the participating blogs and learn more about this terrific organization?

I'll be blogging about OWH on May 29th and hope you will come back then and visit!

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".
