Meant to Bea

By -

 The baby blanket is on the straightway.......I hope to reach the decreases section tonight.  This yarn is so busy it gets tired after awhile.  I have to put it down for naps.  I think it can only be and was only meant to be: a baby blankie...
Oh Hello.  Did someone say BE? Beatles is never camera shy.  Tank is very camera shy.  We are all about changing it up around here today so Bea might get a bath.  Yes, I bathe my cats on occasion.  

Here's some things I hope to BE today:

*be relaxed...this is harder than you think for me.. I concoct all ways of getting wound up....but today I'm going to drop my shoulders and breathe....every hour on the hour.

*be vegetarian....its been a few weeks now. I feel great without beef, chicken, pork and most cheese.  why am i doing this?

*BE cause my stomach was upset all time and I have increasing cholesterol levels....

*Be generous.....I hope to stop in at the Carmelite Monastery with a little gift.

*Be cool as a cucumber.....outta my control, but the weather forecast is awesome...much lower humidities today and possibly a thunderstorm.

*Be barefoot most of the day....


What do you hope to BE today?

I *need* to be calm today, but so far it's not working out that way.

I want to BE a productive knitter today --- so far, so good!

I want to BE a new friend --- looks like THAT is going to work out too.

I want to BE a good cook tonight. We'll SEE about that.

I really need to be happy and kinder to EVERYONE I come in contact with. I am too much a control freak and when it doesn't go my way I get grumpy!!!!

Good luck with the bath!

I have to be gentle with my ankle.

I hope to be a good friend and follow through on my good intentions.

I hope to BE a good therapist for the 3 little ones I see today.
I hope to BE a good Mother to my boys, and I hope to BE crocheting and watching the Olympics tonight.
Hugs,

I want to BE...
organized, be taking things one at a time rather than hopping from one to-do thing to another, be thankful, be cheerful, be helpful, be wise in my food choices. Looks like my plate is full for today... that is a lot of BEING"!

When you stop at the Carmelite Monastery please give them my love and tell them I pray for them. When our Carrie was with us she would visit them often. She loved it there! It was her place of solace.

I will also pray for your peace. I struggle with the calm thing as well!! A sad commentary on the world today.

BE happy to do household chores,
BE thankful for quiet time,
BE conscious of everyone's good qualities,
BE conscious of GOOD.

How dare you post such an ugly picture of me, I'm much more handsome than that. That's it, that blanket is mine!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
