SETTLING IN

" I am soft in more
  ways than one.
  And there is no shame
  in the quiet revolution
  that comes from
  letting yourself settle
  into your own skin
  and saying ,
  'This is not a place
   I've always loved,
  but I'm learning and
  I'm trying'
  PEACE

What a fantastic week it's 

been in my world, yours too?

I do hope so.. 

We have had so much rain I

now have mushrooms popping

up all over the place. As I sit

here and type the sky is dark,

the wind is picking up and I

hear the roar of thunder, sigh.

This has been going on for weeks

and I am ready to not have to

wear rubber boots while doing

my chores. 

Did you see the photo of Lannister?

My chickens are ready for some

drier weather too poor dears..

I discovered locally made

pastries and the cream cheese

stuffed almond cone was

delicious from the first bite

to the last. Thank goodness

I live out of town or I might

be in trouble.

For a birthday treat I paid a

visit to my LYS and for the

first time since learning to knit

I sat with a group of fabulous

women and knit, admired each

others projects and had the

best time. I also left there

with yarn for socks, yarn for

shawls, [just waiting to see

the new Brooklyn Tweed look

book coming out on Wednesday]

and some of the best dpn's I have

ever used. Knitter's Pride out did

themselves, these needles are

fantastic.

I have had almost a week of being

52 and I must say that finally, after

all these years, I am happy in this

skin, happy with the person I have

become, happy with my life and

happy you are my friends. Sock

updates for the homeless continue

to pour in and I am overjoyed.

Life is really

pretty awesome!

Enjoy the weekend.

Much love,

Tracey
