At this time of year the calendar urges each one to pause and give thanks. Of late, I have felt more burdened by a blue mood than lightened by rose colored glasses. Consider what is on the needles:
- black alpaca scarf
- dark blue silk vest
- black & blue wool blend hat
The colors seemed to reflect the cloud hanging over me. Dark and foreboding with no silver lining anywhere to be seen. So, I went looking for reasons to cast aside the funk and get on with the Thanksgiving.
- Funds are sufficient enough to purchase quality fiber. I am thankful that the coffers are not dry.
- My health allows me to participate in a friendly competition with a fellow knitter trying to discover who can complete a vest the fastest. I am thankful for a pain free life.
- My extended family brings bright moments to life and I know that the chosen hat recipient will be grateful. I am thankful that close by or far away, family is family.
When looked at it all from a perspective of thanksgiving, my blue mood is very sunny!
