Silly, but makes me happy
I've spent many years angsting over the fact that I have felt in the past that I have to "MAKE a DIFFERENCE" and that I haven't done it yet and didn't think I ever would. I'm not talking about making a difference because I'm somebody's friend (Though that is important) or by being the President of the United States (Because lets face it, I could do a better job than the current one), but by making a difference by doing something "Special". Defining what was and is "Special" has been the hard part of it because I couldn't define it and therefore had nothing to do. I know - vicious circle kind of thing.
Anyway, Saturday, I realized - I HAD DONE SOMETHING. Its not major, its not even newsworthy and will never be nationally recognized and frankly, I don't want it to be. It may not be special to many people, but to some people, this is BIG. So enough already - what did I do???
I started a knitting group where people could actually meet and knit together. Granted, I did it for selfish reasons (I wanted to knit with people) but I couldn't find a group in Northeast Georgia and with the help of a friend, we started a group. We have 25+ members on our yahoo group and we regularly have 5-10 people at our meetings. And these ladies (for we haven't had any men yet . . . ) are so happy to have other people to knit with too. It makes a DIFFERENCE to them! Its special, and I did it. My idea made a difference and in some small way, makes their life (and mine) better.
So, life is good! I'm happy and now, I need to go rearrange furniture and felt.
