\"donkey1\"<\/p>\n

Happy Friday! The other day K looked at me and said, “I don’t know why, Mama, but I think your spirit animal is a donkey.” At first, I was\u00a0thrown off because Eeyore came immediately to mind.<\/p>\n

Later, I did a little research and I think I’m in love with donkeys. Did you know that contrary to common perception, donkeys are extremely intelligent? And that they’re not easily startled and are super strong? They have a well-developed sense of self-preservation (which accounts for their stubbornness) and are incredibly\u00a0curious creatures. After examining quite a few photos and sketching a couple of donkeys, I now know that they’re adorable. Maybe not as glamorous as\u00a0horses, but quite beautiful in their own way.<\/p>\n

\"donkey2\"<\/p>\n

I marveled at K’s wisdom. I’ve spent a lifetime trying to be a horse and battling a nagging (ha) sense of unease about it. All this time, I was actually a donkey, an animal that I had discounted as somehow lesser. Which of course, it’s not. I feel like there’s a life lesson in there somewhere.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! I’m embarking on making another pair of jeans tonight — I’m so excited!!!!<\/p>\n

Alas, I’m a lass<\/em>
\ngranted a spiritual ass<\/em>
\nhee haw hee haw hee<\/em><\/p>\n
