If ...It's not that I can't, it's just that I won't. If I want to do anything I can keep trying. And I can do anything just not very well every time. I don't enjoy sewing or knitting because presently they are too tedious for me. I love to garden but often can't get things to grow in one place or another but I "won't and can't" stop trying (I'm a gardening addict)! So I can keep trying and do and have found out a lot about gardening around my house. Someday when I have more patience with myself I'll try sewing and knitting. A time for everything, doncha know.
