The Fourth Circle of Hell
Those whose attitude toward material goods deviated from the desired mean are punished in this circle. They include the avaricious or miserly, who hoarded possessions, and the prodigal, who squandered them. Guarded by Plutus, the miserly group pushes great rocks towards the center of the circle; the wasters must take the rocks back to their own side of the circle (Canto VII). This is an antithetical punishment; the sinners must do the opposite of the actions they carried out in life.

It was a very productive day! Tons of laundry, cleaned my bathroom. Cooking 4 bean chili. Cleaning the clutter and moving some of my art supply bins into the garage. To get them out of the WGBs living room Trying to find a very honored place for the spinning wheel!  Put the hand dyed wool in bins and out in the garage too... WGB built me a nice fire and I have been drawing too... Whew, time to put my feet up!

"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost."
-H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

I was so cold in my room today WGB made sure to keep the fire going, and kept me nice and warm as I worked on cleaning off my table and putting my new ROSE clothe on top! AND I watched Dark Shadows while I practiced my Suziblu drawings...you can see the progress today...although I am not happy with them the more I practice the better I will get.
 

Grieving is hard...

Another way to wear a Rosary...just thinking of Lucy. I have been thinking of a ritual I can do to keep Lucy with me...and I think I have found it. I am going to wear the Rosary's we loved...you can see my guardian is by my side still, staying close...I am glad I took today off, I just would not have been ready to go back to work and act like my life is normal.

"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly"  -- Thomas H. Huxley
