Me: Wrong Side Of the Bed...

Sometimes I just need to stop for just a moment... Today was definitely no exception.

I woke up exhausted and grumpy. Oddly enough it was from too much sleep. Who would have thought? So as the morning goes on I can feel myself getting more and more annoyed. My foul mood is just getting worse by the second. So as I'm angrily doing dishes I look on the window sill and what do I see? My calm jar. It's sitting there on the sill and the sun is shining through it. It's so beautiful. I pick it up, give it a shake and just watch... I watch the iridescent hearts and glitter swirl around and slowly fall to the bottom of the jar and it makes me stop and think for a moment. One moment. I take that moment to just take a breath... I take that moment to close my eyes and just let go...

And then suddenly I'm in my happy place...

And once I'm there... Everything is alright.

Knitting: Sadly...

I know that this may seem a bit sudden... 
But sadly, I may have to take a break from knitting. It's supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable but lately I'm finding it to be neither. It's a bit of a time suck and a money suck. Neither of which my family can spare. So it's just bringing on a bunch of stress that I just don't need. So I will probably finish the projects I've started and then move on to other things...

Thank you knitting... Maybe we'll see you again.
