I've been hanging back a bit lately...not just here, but in life's activities as well.
Feeling a bit of angst and trying to cope. Not finding the relief i'd hoped, but seeking.
Seeking God, searching my heart, chiseling away fears and layers of scars that I chose to ignore for so long.
Sweet Rachel recommended "One Thousand Gifts" last week when we spoke, in our usual hurried conversation that we manage to squeeze in once or twice a week, and i'm so thankful that she did. This book is like a soothing tub of old lady Watkins's salve for the wounded spirit.
I have managed to squeeze out some knitting this week, mostly in the car, but i'll take it anyway I can get it.
I have Lotte's lovey dovey up to the point where I get to start the bodice, and the ribbing finished on one of the boys' hats. I don't know who's hat it's going to be yet-I'll see which head it fits better and make the next one accordingly.
I can't wait to see what knitting and reading has kept the rest of you sweet souls busy this week.
Yarning along this week with Ginny.
