Various bloggers that I respect select a word to represent their plan for their life in the coming year. I am adopting the word LISTEN as my word. To be still and listen - to God and to others. To not spend the time someone else is speaking preparing my next remarks. And that will be a bit difficult for me.
And while I am listening, I will listen to see if I am to let others know that I (randomly) post to this blog. I would like to share my knitting experiences more or less as they occur, with others. And this blog would be a good place to share. Like twice this Christmas season having to almost hold my breath that I would have enough yarn to finish a pair of socks. In both cases I started the set convinced I had enough yarn, then doubting as the second sock was nearing completion- and the skein of yarn significantly dwindling. In both cases I found myself making alternate plans- going to be bed and --- could I find another skein, if I did would it show a significant difference in the dye lot.... would I have to frog and re-knit with a slightly shorter cuff....? In both cases I forged ahead, and in both cases ended up with enough - and a very small ball of leftover yarn.
Is that how I treat myself? With doubt in myself. Isn't that part of my positive listening that I am going to work hard on this year? When I (or another person that I trust) tell me I have enough, to sincerely believe. So maybe the first place to start is to Listen and see if I should share this blog.
What do you think, God?
