Needlework Therapy...

 
What do you do when you can't stitch? Grab the Blue Emu™ and your fave needlework magazines and a good book. Make a nice, hot cuppa, put your feet up and read, darling. Daydream a little about the next time you'll be able to pick up a needle and thread, and choose your next project (15 down on the list).

Life really is good. Count your blessings, and never challenge "worse". It can always be worse, so be grateful for where you are. Tomorrow will be better.

    Have a nice weekend!

  2. I had a subscription to Inspirations years ago and I loved it but it's gotten so expensive now. I'm sure you can spend many hours dreaming through those magazines. Take care of you!

    1. Hi MA:
      Getting Inspirations magazine is my one guilty indulgence. I'm glad I have them to peruse when I can't do needlework. Thank you for the kind wishes.

    1. Hi Lois:
      Dogs live in the moment. They never feel sorry for themselves. I want to be more like our dogs. I like that. "Choose joy where you are." Perfect words to live by. Thanks, dear.

  5. Another great plan for the day. It's all about attitude. Australian Dream is another good one if you run out of the Blue-Emu. Enjoy your day.

    1. Hi Shirley:
      Is Australian Dream also "emu based"? I agree. Attitude is everything. I have too much to do to just sit around feeling sorry for myself. Hope you had a great weekend.

    2. It does contain emu oil. I don't know how much. I've had very good luck with both.
      Another one I've have tried recently is Asutra they have one that is Cold and one that is Warm. Not tested on animals, paraben free etc. Works very well on tendons.
      I sound like a crash test dummy for pain creams. lol

  6. Oh love the thought "never challenge worse". I am going to remember that when I start feeling sorry for myself. Hope you are getting better and enjoy those wonderful inspirational magazines. Hugs!

    1. Hi Debbie:
      It's always served me well. I came up with it decades ago when I did feel sorry for myself. I'm glad I gave that up! I'm taking it easy after my hands being stressed on Saturday. PT today and Friday and taking it easy in between. I'm sure I'll stitch this week, but I'm going to wait at least another day. I hope you have a great week!
