Write it Down (then tat with blue)

I don't have an epiphany every day, but it is nice to be able to work through things by writing, and through use of verse.

Maybe nobody reads this blog. The reading, or being read, is not important. It's the writing, the remembering, the working through things...that's...yes.

Some years ago my oldest daughter was going through some boy drama. I gave her a notebook and told her to write about, rip it up, and throw it away. It seemed to help her. Last year one of my youngest daughter’s teachers had everyone in class write a letter to somebody they were mad at, or had a crush on, or wanted to apologize to; then throw it away, or burn it, or keep it in a box. The point was to let out and deal with feelings instead of holding them inside. Hmm.

I tatted with variegated blue size 80 thread yesterday.

 

Blue: Soft, soothing, compassionate and caring, Blue is the color of deliberation and introspection, conservatism and duty. Patient, persevering, conscientious, sensitive and self-controlled, Blues like to be admired for their steady character and wisdom. They are faithful, but are often worriers with somewhat inflexible beliefs and can be too cautious, and suspicious of flamboyant behavior.
