(I think I saw the same Oprah episode--I think her last name started with a "B".) I keep a gratitude journal when times are tough, too. It gets so hard to come up with five different things to write about *every* day that I find myself searching out things to be grateful for, and I think that is the point. I love the loom shots---my weaving class starts in just a few days, and I am getting EXCITED. Hopefully, I'll still feel this enthusiastic after dealing with all those crazy warp ends---I must admit that they have me intimidated.<br /><br />Brenda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-59997529315323341642010-05-16T20:53:31.232-04:002010-05-16T20:53:31.232-04:00Such a lovely post.

So interesting to read your post today. I ...Hilary<br />So interesting to read your post today. I have done a gratitude journal at several different points over those last 13 years. However, I do three things, not five. The first time (back 10 years ago or so) I did it for a full year. I started my current one last Thanksgiving. Some days it is difficult. I find, however, that keeping the journal makes me notice little things throughout my day....Oh, I can record that tonight...the dandelion I saw blooming in early March, the smell of lilacs, the hug from a young nephew. We are all so blessed. We just need to take the time to remember that!Joycenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-17815448905757702762010-05-14T22:06:21.646-04:002010-05-14T22:06:21.646-04:00What a wonderful way to remind ones self of the go...What a wonderful way to remind ones self of the good and cherished things in life.<br /><br />That being said, your current project, with the yellow fabric with blue flowers and the multi coloured warp totally rocks!
