Right now I am not one of those people and am somewhat privileged to work from home listening to books on tape and podcasts for about 6 hours per day.
I also get to do my laundry while I work.
It all sound great, but I am pretty isolated, what with no water cooler chat, complimenting the new earrings, or asking about how the anniversary dinner went. I miss that. I miss getting dressed for work. I know, I'm a real odd ball, but I'm a girl who likes to wear her knitted stuff out and I am literally all dressed up with no place to go. Except Sunday, when I go to church.
Lately, I'm a bit over dressed.
We have two sets of company arriving in early April and I am enjoying the planning processes for each. Making special welcoming spaces for the people I love feeds my need to nurture. At this stage in my life with no children running around, and no grand children find I have all this good love energy that needs a picnic ground. So I'm thinking about plugging it into some good volunteer work. I needs to get out of the house and there in this troubled world I feel I can wear my Superknitter Ninja cape out to do some good.
So, that's my challenge for the week while I continue to air out the wintery dust from my little corner of the planet.
Today's Best Thing EVA: Knit a Journey Podcast I have really enjoyed Susan's philosophical and approachable way of connected people through bits and chatter of daily life and of course, knitting. If you enjoy listening while crafting, give Susan a try.
Be well. Do some good.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI found you from your posts on Rav in the CampKIP group. You seem like an upbeat funny person ! I see we have a few things in common. Like empty nest, craftiness, podcast listener, and so on.
I designed a needle case from a used book. (example of up-cycling).
P.S.
I am Goodstuff on Ravelry.
