reminders

For Christmas, a vendor gave me one of these flippy fold out frames, that's 5 frames all hinged together. I much prefered the bottle of wine, as I'm not a big fan of stuff. I took the wine home and left the frame(s) at work.

Today, I got to Cleaning All The Things here at work. Recycling and throwing away proofs and cd's of projects from years ago. I came back to the frame(s). I got to thinking about what I could put in the frame(s).
I could put in pictures of Mr B, but he's on my desktop.
I could put in pictures of the pseudogodson, but he already decorates the walls of my cute, his chubby little face grinning at me.

So I trolled F'book, and printed out a number of pictures of the people who have come to be very important to me in the SCA. They might be wierded out or embarassed to be in a the frame(s) in my cube, and I'm going to rotate who's there occasionally, so I will not say who's up right now. These are people who I'm very proud to call my friends, who've encouraged me to be a better person, who hold me accountable, who've had my back (good times and not as good times).
I've traveled with them, talked long into the night with them, fought with them, drank with them, laughed and been very, very still with them.

They remind me that I'm a good, capable, worthy person. That I have a rich and diverse life outside of this windowless place.

I'm glad I found a use for the frame(s).
