Some things are easier to live than others; turning the other cheek, keeping the sly comment or piece of gossip to yourself, using the recycle bin even if you don’t really get how recycling works. Of course, as I’ve said before, I hate to think of people throwing away costume jewelry (or, honestly, many things) that they felt was worthless or just didn’t want, not only because it pains me to to think of some great piece lost to the ages but because when you think about it, collecting and especially wearing vintage jewelry and clothing is promoting sustainability.

As time has passed, different holidays have different emotional connotations attached to them; some wistful for times passed and people and pets who are no longer with me, some warm and fresh in my mind--like making Easter dinner a few years ago for a friend and her husband who had cooked for me so many times. Other holiday memories ..Especially Independence Day: not so straightforward anymore..
