What Matters?

 * Dear Channon sent me this gorgeous scarf and books.
The stories take place in the Outer Banks. 
Our AL loves the OBX. 
I'm ready to read.
Channon, the scarf is amazing.  
I think it will look so cheerful.
Dear Kim sent me the color grid. 
Colorgrid.net shows you more about the tool.
Since I am hopeless with finding good color companions, I LOVE THIS THING. 
Thanks Ladies for some very fun mail.

*I've been thinking a lot about the meaning of my life.
Do you think about the meaning of your life?
I love how the MONKS OF NEW SKETE wrote a book on Happiness, and they say its our duty to be Happy. 
They say God wants us to be so very happy. 
I love this take.

*I think I want my goals to grow and change in my life. 
I love the tiny goal of making each ordinary day good for someone.  Yesterday I was patient with the postal clerk. 
That's it. 
I was patient. Others were not.
I think that was my gift and purpose in life yesterday. 
The postal clerk appreciated it so. 

*I'm back to knitting mittens for charity. 
That feels good to me right now.
I want my knitting to count for someone in need. 

*I think to live a clean life,  being honest,
paying your taxes, seeking joy and seeking to help others is what counts.  
All the little ways matter.


I think so. 
Do you?

I DO think so.

I get so tickled when someone says my blog writing made them laugh. To bring joy to someone else makes me so happpy.

I love being nice to people that other people aren't being nice to.. what a gift and others can learn from you. Good for you to lead others the right way! I think you're on the right track of leading a good life. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

The world would be a much better place if we all lived by those values.

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...
