A Yarn of a Different Color

There's no place like home on a Saturday. Puttering about. Choosing to run a load of laundry - or not. Curling up with a good skein.  It feels good to not be in charge today. It feels good to not be thinking about anything except what new pattern to try or what movie to see tonight. Today, I have made the choice to surrender to the day. No matter what comes my way, I am going to remember that I can choose how I react, and mostly , I can choose how I think. Isn't that the only thing we really can control ??  One minute that horrible green yarn was a "what was I thinking?" and the next it's the perfect color for a flower stem. And the best part is that the power to change your mind is always just one thought away. Like Dorothy who always had the power to get herself home and interestingly, everyone she meets in Oz already has exactly what they are looking for -  when they choose to see things differently.
To remind myself to not hold on so tight, I painted and embellished an old jean jacket.{click photo to enlarge] I think I'll wear it to the movies tonight.
