One thing I have learned in my 50 some years, is that when life throws you an oppurtunity, if at all possible, take it. Last week, I was on the phone with my girlfriend, and she said, can you come out next week, and I said yes. Clear some of the schedule and make it work. So I'm off to a week of fun time, relaxing, getting together with her friends, some snowshoeing and I'm going to learn to knit. Plus , My girlfriend has been taking some college classes in photography, so she and I are going to go out with our camera's, and she'll be sharing some of her knowledge with me. It took me all these years to be able to say "yes" to things like that, rather than live in my life of excuses, fear and "I can't" attitude. I know my life has become so much richer because of that, and this particular friend has been God's gift to me, in helping me learn this. So probably soon I'll be wearing a new hand knitted by me, scarf. Fun Fun.
