- The endless peels of laughter that ensues!
- The calming sense of keeping one's hands busy w/the same act over and over again.
- Good stories of life from all realms!
- Hugs.
- Finding new ways to do the same old thing.
- Sharing one's great news.
- Splitting the sorrow up--dividing and conquering it!
- Knowing I am not the only one struggling w/life!
- Taking my pain morphing it into a tangible gift of warmth and love to be wrapped around someone in an unending hug of comfort.
- Most importantly--the Knitters themselves--Kay P., Kay M., Phyllis, Sharry, Thirza, Sharon, Shirley, Cheryl, Miss Hannah, Nancy, Judy, Janet, Bobbi, Scott (the honorary knitter b/c of his comic relief) and all who have graced my presence on Wednesday nights whose names have slipped my mind (I blame the drugs--my story and I am sticking to it)!
I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

Knitting the Pain Away
I wanted to give a big standing ovation to all my sister knitters (I hear we have a brother knitter out there but he remains to grace us with his presences since I started attending). I joined the knitting group at the First Congregational Church of Bellingham initially because it was a great way to get out of the house and it kept my hands busy without having to think too much. These reasons are so minute as to why I continue to attend! So here is my list of reasons why these Ladies of Knitting Needles Rock!
