Have You Ever

Posted on November 18, 2008 by Momzoo

Have you ever wanted to re-invent yourself? You know go back to say like 12 years old and start all over? Not that I would want to do the whole teenager things over again, but I sort of, kind of would like to. I would like to go back knowing what I know now and do it all over. I would have done things much different. I would have worried less about my social life and more about my studies. I would have prayed more and listened harder in church. I would have listen to my parents.

But that is easy for a 30 something year old woman to say, I can’t really blame myself, I was young, and stupid

I would like to start over as a newly wed, knowing what I know now. I would have spent less and saved more. I would have been a better housekeeper and wife. I would have kissed my babies more and played with them more often.

The great thing about life is that we are always reinventing ourselves. There is always tomorrow. There is always the next day to try harder, work harder, play more and enjoy more. So instead of looking back and wishing I could change what was, I will do much better to look forward and change the things I have control over.

Weekend Project

I took my girls to the fabric store on Saturday. They were picking out fabric to make Christmas gifts for each other. (They are making warm rice bags). The yarn section caught my eye. I know how to do very, very basic crocheting. My great-grandma crocheted a lot, she made afghans and stuffed animals and edged baby blankets, all the time, whenever she was sitting down she was crocheting.

I have been wanting a new winter scarf, but I didn’t want to spend the money, being that we are cutting back and not spending on extras. When I passed by all the yard I had to stop and look a little. I found this really pretty red yarn, it is so soft and I love the weave.

I bought it and all Sunday I crocheted on my new scarf. It isn’t anything fancy, I only know how to do the basic stitch, however it was so fun and relaxing to work on and there is a sense of pride knowing I made it. I finished it late Sunday night, all I need to do it add a fringe on the ends (I haven’t decided exactly what I am going to do) and it will be completely done.

Someday I will learn to do fancier work.
