Rainy day people all know there’s no sorrow they can’t rise above. — Gordon Lightfoot

There seems to be a lot of sorrow these days, a lot of things that aren’t exactly working out the way we planned. But that is life sometimes. Unfortunately. My goal is to just try to be a better person and rise above the sorrows, by focusing on all the good things that life has to offer.

I’ve got a roof over my head, and a car that runs, kids that love me, and parents who are still alive. I have dogs, and a beach to walk on. I have enough food, and clothes to wear. I make enough money to pay my bills and have joy in my life. I laugh, and sing, and dance daily. I have a lot to be thankful for. And I am grateful for that.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

More rain and wind. And if I go to Portland tomorrow, I will probably get some snow and ice.

I started a new Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging module — and this segment is going to take some practice. You can track my dancing progress HERE.

Oh… and made some progress on my Valentine’s socks…. Loving this selfstriping socks. You can get this yarn — and it’s on sale for $15 while supplies last — click HERE, and use the code TRACY15 for an ADDITIONAL 15 % discount on all the yarn and other great products from Darn Good Yarn!!

Here’s what I came up with for today!

Vintage Pendelton shirt, 100% cotton, great plaid. Perfect for rainy day people and the Pacific Northwest.

The sweater is from Columbia, but I am pretty sure I picked it up from Goodwill for a song. Love the metal buttons.

Today’s Layers: Woolamina and Gray Gap Leggings topped with the Pendelton Shirt, and Columbia cable knit sweater.

Lap warmer is Rainey. She and I an the Dude live on the Beach in Southern Washington in our RV.

Earrings are vintage sterling and turquoise, not sure where I picked them up.

Socks are handknit plain Vanilla sock — made with Regia self striping yarn.

Shoes are crocs, from the outlet in Camirillo, CA.

Thanks for checking out my rainey day people post! More to come — everyday in fact — so check back often!
