Good luck with your second slipper. I know I always have a hard time doing a second sock so I can relate. I find with these slippers (even though I've made many pairs) I still have to be on my own with no one talking to me to be able to do them. They actually require me to give them my complete focus - a very good thing for helping me learn to stay present. ;-)<br /><br />Hi Donnalee - I love what you said here -"the attitude of gratitude promotes the best perspective & intent." It is so true, isn't it. Thanks for commenting and I will be sure to post about the felted sweater quilt, I've made time to work on cutting out rectangles the last two days. <br /><br />Hi TaraChristiane - thank you, you make such an important point - feeling gratitude really doesn't mean ignoring bad things or being a "Pollyanna" at all, it is just all about where we choose to place our focus, isn't it. We can accept that there will be difficult times but choose not to let our minds dwell on them. At any time I'm sure we could all make fabulous difficulty/badthings lists too, but what good would that do? ;-) I prefer to focus on/put my energy into the good things, glad you do too.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-27481435684837952532010-11-01T18:19:26.313-07:002010-11-01T18:19:26.313-07:00This is true.

Now I realize they go together (at least most of the time) and balance things out. Even a small moment of tranquility and appreciation can help me to keep things in perspective.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103167694603570050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-81920314422723734772010-11-01T17:59:02.251-07:002010-11-01T17:59:02.251-07:00AMEN sister...the attitude of gratitude promotes t...AMEN sister...the attitude of gratitude promotes the best perspective & intent...isn't the warmth & crackle & smell of a hickory fire the best, i wish they would figure out how to bottle that smell as a perfume...AND you're fashioning a quilt out of those sweaters...hopefully you will post that process ... ;)donna!eehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08989639512012309974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-83358885020843870972010-11-01T13:30:42.719-07:002010-11-01T13:30:42.719-07:00I have tried making those houseshoes from the same...I have tried making those houseshoes from the same pattern.
