I'm so excited to be in Ravelry-land.
It feels to me *just like* when I first started blogging
and everybody was so nice and helpful,
and I met all kinds of amazing people,
many of whom I now consider my
closest friends.
One of those people is someone who
picked me up in a train station
and let the Daughter bird and I stay in her home,
even though she was in the middle of MOVING
and didn't know me from addam,
except through my blog.
It has been a couple of years now, and I'm SO
grateful for her friendship and kind words, AND,
She sent me THIS:
(crappy picture on purpose, as this is a limited edition print and I haven't connected with the
ARTIST yet!) Called "Knitting is LOVE",
it was part of a surprize package of goodies
that has had me sighing for days now.
The world really is filled with goodness and LIGHT
and random acts of kindness and it is indeed possible
to have a whole POSSE of New Best Friends
at the ripe old age of FIFTY!
Which is a good thing, because my life needs some balancing in that
direction. Things have been rough in a number of other areas, and just
when I think it is all too much, and I should just cry myself to sleep,
I get to have dinner with the Boybird and think about how
BLESSED I really am.
He's doing better, as well as can be expected really,
considering what he has been through.
He's a trouper, that Boybird of mine!
So here's to you, FRIENDS!
May your Blessings be many,
your stumbling blocks few.
mwah!
