I actually want to be knitting. why am I writing this.
Oh now Ted is weeping. something lego related. I don't think he is feeling 100%.
Maybe I should just knit.
OK briefly.
Good things. Am reading the 29 gifts project. I am loving it. Its about how for 29 days you consciously give something, open heartedly (not out of duty, guilt or under any kind of pressure or expectantly of some return). And keep an account of it, And see how it changes your life. It helped the woman who wrote the book cure herself of MS apparently. Though I am not that far along. So far she is just getting better.
I love this idea. It feels like a marvellous foolish project. And it is. The whole foolish project thing, and the the study I have done around Money.....
Has left me feeling that - well. I am truly RICH. And feeling RICH is not about having more money. Or lots of money. Its about feeling able to give generously. Well. it is for me. It really does change your life around, this focusing on what you can just give, for the hell of it, for the delight of it.
and then, yet again. Today seems full of snappy children and fractious adults. Life eh.
just to keep reminding myself. here is a list of foolish projects. random ideas really. though I am very keen on making a paper theatre

kid directed topics of conversation
dig a big hole and make a fire pit
assign random acts of kindness to others

dress up as ghosts and haunt people on the ghost walks around brighton
write a newspaper for an imaginary land
make up a language
act as if fairys really did exist at the bottom of the garden -
create a light show that makes it look as if fairies really do exist at
the bottom of the garden
build a hot air balloon

Have you started knitting?
Love your list of foolish projects, your "pretend faeries really do exist" appeals to my inner faery (yes, we do really exist!) and I treated myself to some solar power dragon fly lights from B&M Bargains today and draped them across my Buddleia Tree, can't wait til evening to see how magical they look. The 29 projects book sounds interestsing, will have to go and check that out!
