I don't think I'll learn Mau Mau...but I will ask my granddaughter if she will make a deck of cards with me, like yours. Each one designed with a theme. We used to do projects like that. Maybe she's too cool now :) Going through socialization big time. Aware of her blossoming maturity. She's so sweet. A mix of child and young lady. Finding her way, testing the waters. She loves Oma (that's me), but I think I'm a little irrelevant to her right now. Although...she did ask when we'll be having one of our sleepovers. So, who knows?

I think people may spend a lot of time with media...TV, telephone, Facebook. I know I spend a lot of time writing, although I don't have a work schedule anymore. My 'work' is my family, helping my daughter and granddaughter.
I think you are quite unique. The concept of 'wasted' time doesn't exist for you, because you approach whatever you do consciously. You're aware of the moments and the experience. That, I think, comes from your Eastern studies.
Well, I'm off to look at your new blog. I haven't really checked it out. Just saw some art. I have a feeling there's another treat waiting for me.
Have a great, peaceful day.
