LOVE YOURSELF

Like the sky opens after a
rainy day we must open to
ourselves.... Learn to love
yourself for who you are
and open so the world
can see you shine. 

~James Poland


It's been a good week here
and I hope the same for you.

*There were long walks
in the warm sunshine.

*A long distance phone
call with a dear friend.

*Wonderful and unexpected
surprises in the mail box.

*Finally having my eye's
examined after putting it
off for too long.

*Still trying to decide on
which frames to buy to
go with the much changed
prescription I was given.

*Casting off my poncho!

*Learning the mattress stitch

*And how to crochet a
Picot Edging Border

*Preparing for all of my babies
to be here on Sunday for a
family dinner, I'm serving
lasagna.

*And looking forward to the
weekend.

*Wishing my baby sister
a happy birthday today.

*I'm shining here and I hope
you are too. Have a great
weekend.

Much love.
Tracey

  1. Agh! My MIL and I have been trying to figure out a picot edging for about six months, by trial and frustrating error. She cracked it the week before Christmas, nd so never managed to make the shawl for her friend! Maybe it'll be ready for next year!
    Glad you're having a lovely week. I'm having a long and sleepless one. Oh how I dream of four uninterrupted hours sleep...yawn...

  12. I like this list. Have you gone onto coastalcontacts.com? first pair of frames is free, and you can upload a pic of yourself to virtually try them on. Kinda weird, but I love my glasses and so do other folks I know who used it..
    Have a wonderful weekend.

  26. What a beautiful week you're having. You must be so excited to have your ohana under one roof. I grew up with lasagna so I salivated at the mention of yours. It's such great comfort food.
