Good and Plenty




Having the day off of work, I spent much of the time with a tiny crochet hook and silk thread working on necklaces for my sister. It becomes very trance like for me-when I am not breaking the thread and swearing like a sailor! Much of my thoughts today were on the fact that it is a narrow walk for me to keep others happy and keep my sense of self intact. This has become a practice for me in the past few days. Old behavior is not comfortable any longer-the clothes no longer fit. Yet I've not had experience with the new behavior for it to feel right either. I want to run and hide, but the old hiding places are no longer there. Life has changed and that is good. I'm changing-one can teach an old dog new tricks. I'm becoming more self assured, more comfortable in my own skin. I tell myself "I more than enough-I'm good enough just the way I am" Deep thoughts for a day with a little crochet hook!

  8. Your necklaces are gorgeous- delicate, a little old fashioned, beautiful color combinations. Will they be sold online? Etsy or through Julie's shop? I also agree with you how challenging change can be.

    I absolutely can relate to when the body changes so does the mind. You go girl!

    Thrilled for Julie and her new endeavors. How wonderful for both of you.
