I was off for vacation from Dec 13 and returned on Jan 7, I meant to post pictures, work on my ravelry account but as you can see none of that got done at all. I have pictures I need to post and work I need to do and get my ravelry stuff done so I can be more organized. I am going to list all the finished projects on my blog this year just to see how many I actually get done.
I really want to work on my second sock of the yarn i have made fingerless gloves and am almost done with the shawl and have the second sock to work on but in the meantime from Sisterwoman:

Promise Yourself:
To be strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something special in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to critisize others.
To be too large for worry
To be too noble for anger
To be too strong for fear
And to be too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

The Worth of a Woman
Nov. 26, 2007
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.They bring joy, hope and love.
They have the compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
However, if there is one flaw in women,
It is that they forget their worth.
Don't ever forget your worth.

I Believe
Dec. 10, 2007
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I believe:
That our backgrounds and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
That no matter how good a friend is, she is going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive her for that.
That because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
That you should always leave loved ones with kind words. It may be the last time you see them.
That money is a lousy way to keep score.
That you either control your anger or it controls you.
That sometimes I have the right to be angry, but I never have the right to be cruel.
That it always isn't enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to forgive yourself.
That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world won't stop for you.
That to love others with my whole heart I must first love myself.
That the people you care most about in life are often taken from you too soon.
That life is more precious than money will ever be.
That it really is better to give than to receive.
