mistakes... mistakes

today is palm sunday. its got me thinking a little bit. i believe in God, and Jesus. i am lapsed from the catholic faith, and while there are those who would disagree, i don't believe that makes me an awful person... BUT....

i know i am only human. i make mistakes, i speak out of turn or say incorrect things (aka putting my foot in my mouth), i am terrible with correspondence (i.e. returning letters, sending birthday cards and thank  you notes... sometimes even phone calls-which are the easiest thing to do), my kids think i am harsh at times, and that i give back handed compliments (which is NOT my intent, and i LOVE THEM to death).  i mess up with food, eat things i know i shouldn't, which sends my blood sugar through the roof. i try to be civil to the people i can't stand (don't truly hate anyone any more, that's really too strong. and at my age i hope no one truly hates me either), or just try to avoid contact with them.  thank goodness every day is a new day. and some days there are no mistakes, some days- LOTS.  and for that, i am sorry, especially to anyone i may have unintentionally hurt, one way or another. i hope everyone can forgive me. i apologize from the bottom of my heart.

so, getting that out of the way, i have decided that i have to rip out the beginnings of my quilt that i posted a while back. yeah, the beautiful red and black that one is turned sideways in the picture that i couldn't make make rotate.  i fully intended to leave all the seams the way they were, but i have decided that that is a waste, and while ripping out seams is a HUGE waste of time, the quilt will be better for it in the long run. it's just gonna take a while. so there won't be any pictures of that for a while.  in the meantime, i will try to get photos on here of my 3 knitting projects that i have going on. 

knitting is going well. i find it challenging, learning a new craft. it's great on the train, except when the rude chick sitting next to me keeps BUMPING ME and invading my space. (ok breathe, she was young, maybe didn't ride the commuter rail alot)... here again, i am chock full of mistakes. not very thrilled about that, but i have only been knitting for 5 weeks, and still learning, so i will cut myself some slack for that. edwina is a wonderful instructor, very very patient, and kind.  and you tube is a great asset for when i get home and she is not with me!!!

well, gonna get back to my day, and try to see what mistakes i can avoid.  i hope everyone has a blessed, mistake free palm sunday!!
