I love knitting. Absolutely LOVE doing it!

That's why I repeatedly force myself to endure the torment of casting on and the first couple of rows.

Wishing all my coso pals a healthy and kind new year- may your days be filled with sunshine and laughter. Take care of each other.
Blessed Be.

This is sadly something women have to continue to deal with. Makes Greta all the more impressive.

Good morning everyone from Apollo ❤️🐾 He says damn it's raining again 😔 #dogsofcoso

Instead of making those New Year's resolutions that tend to never be fulfilled, try something different.

Get a large jar, make some smallish strips of paper. Decorate jar as you wish. Then each day or week, write down.....

Option 1: The most exciting thing you did.

Option 2: The biggest lesson you learned.

Option 3:Something you are grateful for.

Option 4: What random act of kindness you did.

At the end of the year, reflect.

Just in case...

If you ever post your pain or struggle, and no one replies--especially if you are very new--it is very likely that folks saw you but didn't have a chance to reply before the firehose flowed on.

This is hard to remember. It is. But low response rates do not mean you don't matter or people don't care.

I dearly hope people mostly receive comfort when they need it.

But if there is a miss, it doesn't derive from indifference. Not here.

One thing I wish the US would adopt from the UK is bloody tea time.
