The toughest thing about success is that
you’ve got to keep on being a success.
[Irving Berlin]
I have half a sock to finish and my Christmas knitting will be done—a scarf, a sweater, and six pairs of socks. Ah, success. Now I need to find where I stored the wrapping paper.
My youngest daughter has never learned to knit. I offered to teach her once and she replied, “I’d rather not. If I learned to knit, people would expect me to.” I can understand her point. If I learned to cook better, people would expect me to. I’ve invited people over for Thanksgiving dinner next Sunday. I’ll do my best to serve them the yummiest of meals, but I don’t have the pressure of them expecting me to—they have all known me for years so they know I knit better than I cook. I’ll make up for it when they get their Christmas gifts.
Wow…. How wonderful is that?!? Life has been so crazy for me these past few months I’ve had to make it ‘official’… no knitting for the holiday gifts… it does have me feeling a little sad but better that than stark raving mad…..
Now, for you, it’s all good and time for relaxing, eh? Congratulations!
you are doing a lot better than I am, I’m afraid! LOL
