A Blogging Epiphany!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Happy First Day of February!!!!!!  Happy Groundhog's Day Eve!!!!  Happy we're-under-a-winter-weather-advisory day!!!!  Happy birthday month to my friends - Ruthie, Kathy, and Michelle!!!!  


Today on my morning break, I sat in the downstairs spa-like bathroom locked away from everyone so I could work on a baby blanket for my friend's new fellow.  The pattern for said blanket is not really complicated.  It's 4 rows to begin and then you do a 4-row-pattern-repeat until it's 36" wide...then you knit 1 row one time before picking up another 4-row-pattern-repeat.  What does yours truly do?  She knits the 1 row that is supposed to be knit all by itself twice...thus making her pattern off.  

What's a girl to do?  I cannot just keep knitting the wrong way...and to rip out this gazillion stitch row was just too much for my I-can't-believe-I-messed-this-pattern-up-again moment. 

I did what any sensible knitter would do...I removed all the stitches from the circular needles and I began to unravel the blanket.  

The first time I unraveled it - there may have been tears.

The second time I unraveled it - I had a blogging epiphany.  And noooo, my blogging epiphany is not to fill my blog with posts from a delusional knitter desires to finish a baby blanket while the baby is still a BABY!

Sooo what was my grand epiphany?


I'm going to blog through the month of February about 29 things that I am thankful for during this season of singleness.  Why?  Because I need to be reminded...and good heavens, I cannot be the only single gal out there who needs reminders of all the blessings and graces that we have on our being single journey.  And I'm hoping that my little posts will help others who are walking down the same uncertain path.

I'm kinda thankful for the 2nd unraveling because I don't think I would have had my blogging epiphany.

It's been awhile.

While I was in The JoAnn Fabrics store this afternoon purchasing pre-punched paper for my 2024 garden journal, I said to myself, "Self,...
