Epiphany: a status of my new year’s resolutions …
Year of the Sheep
Mine seem to have settled right in (of course it helps that school started back up and it’s not like I have a whole heckuva lot of time…..) …. but I’m enjoying the variety and the reveling in the good, the true, and the beautiful.
Knitting: I’ve read the first chapter from EZ’s Knitter’s Almanac. The project for January is an Aran-inspired pullover … but EZ has lots of tips for creating such a sweater and I’m letting ideas “steep” for another week before I actually start my EZ-inspired project. Stay tuned as I think it will be a fun knit. In the meantime, I’m reading EZ’s The Opinionated Knitter, a compilation of the first 10 years of her famous newsletters (with annotations from EZ’s daughter, Meg Swansen). What a GREAT read! I’m having such fun learning from the proverbial foot of the master. Wow. So much great knitterly info. REALLY wish I had more time to knit.
Spiritual: I’m continuing to read a bit of Terese of Avila each day … from her autobiography on Kindle. She is an amazing role-model/mentor for me. On top of this, I’m constantly trying to keep James 1:2-5 always in my mind (consider it all joy ….) Just ask Sr. Mary Brigid!
Leisure: enjoying reading Agatha Christie’s wonderful books … altho, I’m starting in reverse order, somewhat. I’ve started Curtain (Poirot’s Last Case) … and LOVING it.
Miscellaneous: so I deactivated my account on Facebook on New Year’s Day. I quickly realized that deactivating the account, also deactivated the networked blog setting I had so that I could promulgate my “deathless prose” to all you wonderful FB readers. I have since reactivated BUT AM NOT READING FB … just linking the blogs. So if you want to get snarky about me … this is a prime opportunity. Should you want me to READ what you say, please comment here on this blog.
Love and prayers for an awesome 2015!
