A YARN ALONG

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,
a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest
compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of
which have the potential to turn a life around.

~Leo Buscaglia

While there is still knitting
every day now that the weather
has changed it is having to
share time with the gardening.
This really is a busy time of year
for most of us isn't it?

I am ever so slowing making
progress on my Orchid, finally
nearing the end of the first repeat
on the border, there are three. The
pattern is very easy to follow and
I am enjoying every stitch. I am
very thankful to Melissa for sharing
this with me and can't wait to try
it when I cast off.

I picked up a book I started before,
but never finished, The Bell Jar.
I am not sure why I had a problem
before, but this time I am enjoying
reading this story and can't help but
feel a little sad that the author,
Sylvia Plath committed suicide the
year I was born.
The quote at the top of the post?
It's true.
