Taking a peek in a favorite book,
Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy by Sara Ban Breathnach, I was reminded how to complain. Or rather, how to not complain. Or something like that. This book is full of great reminders, and this day my take-away was "
Learning to shrug is the beginning of Wisdom." Which got me thinking, of course. But not just on how to live life more fully, but about SHRUGS!
I have to admit, I don't follow these day books like most ordinary folk out there. I don't thumb through until I find "today's date." I like to use my intuition and open the book at random and see what pops out at me. And of course, my intution never fails me.
Wouldn't knittng a shrug be the perfect Spring project? AND I just so happened to have the perfect yarn in my stash. Now at this point I like to play my "Is the Universe Trying to Tell Me Something?" game. Go ahead, roll your eyes, I know my family does. But really, if I was meant to committ to this project I would have enough yardage of the yarn required, etc. . .
(fingers crossed, drumroll please)
Yup! Guess I have a new knitting project.
