Song sung blue, everybody knows one. But when you take the blues and make a song, you sing them out again.
Song is a wonderful healer. And I thing that everyone is born with the ability to sing. But sometimes it happens, that someone tells us we aren’t any good, or that we should just stand in the back… or…. mouth the words. And so some of us stop singing. I have heard this story from so many people, and talk about making me feel blue. Because I can relate. And, I didn’t sing for a long time. But then I got old enough not to care what other people say… or think. And I started singing, and making music, and dancing.
So take that, you poopy pants dream squashers! I proved you wrong.
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:
Woke up to more frost outside… brr at 32. I got to spend some time sitting in bed knitting with my coffee and podcast, while I waited for the house to heat up.
Early morning eye doctor appointment and my eyes are still crummy. But, I get to order some new glasses… and I love new glasses! Also, some special computer glasses!! YAY!
Other than that, pretty quiet, dancing, knitting, cooking, eating, napping, and hanging out with the dogs.
This is sweater #3 for the year… I plan on doing 12. It’s my own little 12 sweaters in 2021 knitting challenge!!
There are details on that page, and a coupon for the yarn!
Super casual day hanging with the pups and knitting…. Columbia fleece that I inherited from my daughter.
Teamed with gray waffle knit socks…my standby. HERE they are in Graphite.
And that is about it for my outfit. Leggings, of course, and the ever-present bulldog.
Rainey has spina bifida, so she will wear diapers for her entire life. But she doesn’t let it slow her down one bit.
I am hoping for some warmer days to come down the pipeline… get back to some gardening, and bare legs .
But in the meantime, I will be inside, knitting away at my sweater!
Thanks for joining me on my “song sung blue” post. Stay tuned for the next 44 days of #tracywearswool!
.
Be well, and learn something new!
–Tracy
