It really is.  In fact, any task like that, based primarily on repetition is good for thinking.  With these gloves I'm making, as they are all my own design, I'm not really counting stitches like you have to with someone else's pattern.  I pause here and there and look back at what I did on the first glove and make sure I'm still doing things the ( Read more... )

Thanks. Sometimes, it kinda sucks to be strong. Usually it happened because it had to happen, or because you'll need the strength later.

I'm glad for the healing too, though. Life is just getting better and better the more I heal.

This is an incredibly amazing post.

Thanks.

Seeing the truth can be hard.

Admitting it is harder.

Accepting it is the hardest part.

At least, for me it is. It's part of why I keep a blog. This one started with J and T having access to it and to post on it, since they didn't, I turned it into my own little haven where I can let my thoughts ramble. I can go back and read old posts and re-evaluate things with my new perspective.

I'm glad my rambling helps you think about things. :)
