Sewing

I am starting to think I should learn to sew, then I can make slipcovers for all the furniture that is falling apart. Although, the price of fabric is not that cheap either. It seems to me, and I could be wrong about this, but it used to be cheaper to sew something than buy it, now I am not so sure. Maybe it is because a lot of things are not made here anymore.

When you start to factor in your time, cost of materials etc., sometimes it is easier just to buy something. If you already have what you need to make it, then it probably makes more sense.

Be happy

I remember when I was a kid and life seemed so easy. I am going to try to get back those feelings and not take on all the worries of the world. Even if it is only for 10 minutes a day, after all that kid is still in all of us! I am going to get some crayons and a coloring book and color for 10 minutes. Or draw. I used to do this when I was a kid and I loved it.

Grateful

I was thinking about this today. Even if the economy sucks right now there are many things to be grateful for. These are in not in any order and are just off the top of my head!



1. taking a shower everyday in clean water
2. putting on clean clothes
3. drinking clean water
4. a warm house
5. food anytime I want to eat!
