Post thanksgiving day thoughts

Forget New Years, I felt a resolution aura surround me last night. I'd been grumpy at the thought of dinner but it ended up being okay. Resolution #1- don't pre-stress.

Dinner was good except for the pie. I don't like grainy pie. But I ate too much and am getting real tired of the over full feeling. The maternal unit regularly takes leftovers home because she knows where her full button is. Resolution #2 - get a handle on this portion size stuff.

Apologies have been a big part of my vocabulary lately. I've been wicked moody and apologizing for everything, deservedly so.  Resolution #3 - stop letting tongue rule head.

Today's craft status is sort of a statement of life. I'm making rings from these little tiny skeins Blueman got me for my birthday. You can get six rings from one tiny skein and in a rainbow of colors, well, it just made sense to arrange them rainbowingly. (Resolution #4 - make up more words because it's fun)


They'll be connected with a neutral color I think.

Kind of a metaphor for life, these rings. The colors roll through the rainbow with an ebb and flow kind of feeling, much like life. They twist so easily and you spend time fixing, straightening and double checking to make sure you are still on track, much like life.  It was originally a gift that I thought might wither away in the closet because I didn't think I'd have any other idea for them, but in using them I feel like it honors Blueman. Much like I wish I would do more of in life.
