day 82 of #tracywearswool: the story

It’s #tracywearswool day 82 out of 100, what’s the story?

Actually, The Story is a fabulous song by Brandi Carlisle — and if you haven’t had a chance to hear it… you should look it up…. HERE!

But mine is a different story… a story about change, about rediscovery, about determining my authentic self and living the best that I can.

I firmly believe that we are not the sum of our past experiences. We have the ability to chose to change. Or chose not to. I always say, if you don’t like it, change it. We all have choices. Some are just easier than others.

So this year I am choosing to grow more vegetables, and eat more plant-based meals. To give up sugar and wheat because they make me feel crummy. To not use single-serve containers, whenever possible. And I chose to buy more clothes out of natural fibers…. because they feel better, and to walk more because it is good for me.

And that is just a start….

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:

A bit of sunshine, and definitely getting warmer!! Yee HAW!

Knitting, singing, and blogging. Making the drive to Portland, and checking out the new garden…

Still can’t believe that I am on day 82 of #tracywearswool… it has gone by so fast.

Today is simple, Soft flannel plaid over Woolamina, and then hand knit cotton sweater.

Kind of a frumpy look, but I did take off my thick wool socks for the photos today!!

Showing a little of the white ankles there!!

Those legs will brown up plenty in the summer, and I can’t wait to get them out in the warm sunshine.

And, I can’t wait to wear my sleeveless Sierra tank…. for the post-challenge!

Think Wool& would sponsor me to walk the Camino Santiago in a dress — I can see the blog heading: 600 mile dress!

I’ll have to ask.

Thanks for joining me on day 82 of #tracywearswool.

Stay tuned for the next 18 days!

Be well, and get out there and make some changes.

–Tracy
