It’s a good day… but then again, everyday is a good day for me.
It’s not that I am ridiculously optimistic and cheerful. But everyday I am alive is a good day. Some days are more challenging than others. Some days are more fun. Some days even have sorrow and frustration and anger. But they are still, for the most part, good days.
Because if I don’t like something, I change it. And if I can’t change it, I change the way I look at it. For me, it is that simple.
And sometimes, I need to say “Not my Circus, not my monkey” and distance myself from all the petty problems and drama out in the world today. And that gives me more time to look for the good stuff in life. Because the good stuff is out there, sometimes just waiting to be discovered.
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:
It’s STILL a bit rainy and windy out here on the coast! We did get a bit of sun… but now it is gone. In addition to dance class and my morning podcast, I would love to finish the brown Skylark sweater… and move on to the next– already planning it out with some great yarn that I got!!
Check this out… it is the yarn for the next sweater… I am going to do something short-sleeved and cropped to go with Woolamina…. and the new Sierra that I am ordering!! Yarn is silk & raw silk combination, sport weight… and scrumptious. You can find it HERE! And the color just screams SUMMER!!!
For 15% off almost everything, use my discount code: TRACY15 at checkout!!
And — It’ll en a good day to shoot some videos for my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging Page — before we start week 6! Check that out HERE!
Starting to go through my closet, and pull out some lighter-weight things… Seems like spring is upon us. Or maybe that is wishful thinking!! Hard to tell in the PNW.
Found this TeeCo shirt, which I haven’t ever worn…
It seems like I am coming up with a lot of different combinations that I would never have thought of wearing. Thanks mostly, to all the wonderful folks on the Wool& 100 Day Dress Challenge group on Facebook. Let me know if you are interested, and I will add you in.
Seriously, the group is a fantastic community of supportive people, and it has become an amazing way to connect with like-minded people — doing, or thinking about doing the challenge. The dress is great… the community is beyond compare.
The little black jacket is from JJill, and I think I got it off eBay in 2018. Love it, great pockets!!
Boots are by Hunter, I wear them almost every day… perfect for rain, work, or… whatever. Super comfortable and warm.
Thanks for joining me on my good day post. Stay tuned for the next 54 days of #tracywearswool!
.
Be well, and make some music!
