There are also marvelous heat resistant gloves for your kitchen that are far better and safer than towels or pot holders and some even are safe to 1500*F, not that you need those in the kitchen.

I remember taking carving in textiles class in high school. Never did much with it but it was enjoyable and relaxing to me. <br />It came out great and adds so much to your piece. <br /> I love that little house. Great colors and I looked forward to seeing Maven Haven in those. Make it a great day today.

Here in TN we are still having a few days of spring and a few days of late winter but spring seems to be winning. Today will be low seventies which is my perfect temperature. I am trying regrowing onions as they sprout and they are just zooming. I have a grow bag to try for some potatoes and would love to put some lettuce in a hanging pot. I'm hoping for a better gardening season with better balance and joints but may be restricted to a back porch garden. I'll declare it never rains but it pours--I being told I need bunion surgery and unfortunately watched a lady on you tube who screamed all night after her surgery! Mama loved gardening and when she became unable to have a big one, I planted some squash, cucumbers, and tomatoes in her flower beds around her house. This is one of my best memories--she had enough fresh stuff to eat and was so happy to pick her veggies. I certainly have rambled today Take care and don't overdo! <br />Wanda Deversnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-1668597189278785142024-03-14T11:12:35.766-04:002024-03-14T11:12:35.766-04:00ONEE THING IS FOR SURE...YOU ARE NOT A SITTER...YO...ONEE THING IS FOR SURE...YOU ARE NOT A SITTER...YOU ARE A GOER AND A DOER...YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT INSPIRATION...YOU DO NOT LET A FALL STOP YOU...IT MIGHT SLOW YOU DOWN BUT YOU KEEP GOING..SLOW MAYBE BUT YOU ARE UP AND BEING PRODUCTIVE...

The one thing we have control of is how we deal with life. We can bemoan our "fate" and make ourselves miserable (meanwhile no one cares that you do this to yourself so no points there) or we can chose to be on the better side and treat ourselves as our best friend. We do have to be realistic about bad things that happen but looking for the best helps us deal with them. These are the choices we have so why would you mistreat yourself.sillygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130736158671805025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-49551857838572522352024-03-14T07:45:16.352-04:002024-03-14T07:45:16.352-04:00A beautiful post!

I, too, believe that we make our lives, our lives don't just happen to us. I didn't always believe that way, it took help from a competent counselor. I use a blend of realism plus optimism, and it works well for me. Must admit, the thought of falling can make me fear-filled. I fell a few years ago, and broke one ankle and sprained the other one! Rather than staying fearful, this same counselor said I just needed to slow down and be more mindful, which just means be where I am rather than where I am looking to go. I continue doing my balance and mobility drills at the gym, so that I can age well.
