Trying to Maintain...

I heard something in my 12-step program I repeated to myself no less than four times today.

"How would I act today if I believed that everything was going to turn out exactly the way it needed to be?"


I am working toward the peace and serenity that comes with that belief. It is not natural for me. I want to stick my nose and my hands and my efforts in to help control the results. All I really need to do is breath, and figure out if I have done what is necessary.


Have I? See, that's the question.


Onward.

While trying to maintain, I am getting ready for vacation. Got my trip knitting ready. Must be planning to be on the road for a MONTH! I have lined out to finish...

  • Wonderful Guy's alpaca socks
  • my mittens and matchey matchey scarf (one mitten half done)
  • dishclothes, 3 balls worth (so that inc tribbles)
  • unnamed project, half complete
  • eyeglass case
  • finger puppets
  • Barbie project
  • yarn for another pair of socks....just in case...

I travel in fear of running out of knitting. Is this normal? I think not, and neither does Wonderful Guy, but he does indulge me.

Also, I have done this. All cut out and ready to sew up for Christmas...




Tomorrow, I pack.

Of course it's normal to fear running out of knittings! I think so, at least :-) What on earth should you do if it run out and you were far from a yarnshop? You wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else till you got a new one, and how fun should that be on a vacationtrip???

Hope you will have a lovely trip!

Within normal parameters, certainly.

I always take WAY more knitting than I need. It's not just a fear of running out, but a fear that I will get utterly bored with the one thing I brought.

A week's trip should probably come with a minimum of six projects.

You can tell Wonderful Guy I said so.

  • Welcome...

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
