TRY AGAIN

With plans, days, books, relationships, projects -- try again. Why not see this thing through, even today? Why not save yourself the running and the worry and all of the energy for something else?

Yes, release brings relief. And maybe the timing isn't quite right to give it another go. Good thing is life will probably eventually find a way to revisit whatever it was in you that needed work. So pay attention; be open to a good stretch, to success, maybe even failing again. You will get there. 

WOOL WARMTH

For the last two days I have pretended we are living in the arctic with the historical amount of snow and -40 degree temps. Survival has come in the form of wearing nearly every knitted thing I can find for quick jaunts to the garage or to help dig out our street-parked car. Good news is I've spoiled myself with something new to commemorate the frigid event, too, having taken a break from knitting things to sell locally for other peeps. At first it felt a little selfish, but now it feels so good. 

How do you cope when winter's at it worst?

Good news: Rain and temperatures 40 degrees above freezing forecasted for the weekend. Halleluuuuu!
