Am I Blue ?

In these last days of 2020 I have found myself under a gray cloud.  I'm not sure why, but I'm just so down-in-the-dumps!  

Does this happen to you?  

Might I suggest

.....do something.....ANYTHING...

Get Physical:  A shout out to my quilting buddy, Miss Kate, who is also my walking buddy.  No one person can fix you or your blue-ness, but just being around other people is therapeutic, all by itself.  The good Lord made us this way.... we need each other.

And, then walking:  as my nutritionist said "there is something magical about walking..."  You might participate in other physical activity like Zoom exercise classes but there is something about walking, there really is.  Even if you don't have a walking buddy,  just being outside and walking is beneficial.

If you don't have a friend.....be a friend. Ask someone to walk with you.

Finish Something:  What is on your to-do list that you look at but just don't want to finish?  Even if it's as small as dusting that table top....just do  it.  

I finished two things yesterday;  the backing for the baby quilt I have been working on (which did not come together as I had envisioned in my head....I had to piece it all over the place because I did not have enough fabric) and I finally got a label on my g-sons birthday quilt. (My least-favorite thing to do.) I took it to him last night and his little face just lit up!  Medicine for the soul!

 

Finally, make a plan.  Here it is Sunday and tomorrow is MONDAY....again! 
Today is the day to plan for tomorrow and next week.

Today I am going to church, pick up a few morsels of food for the week, drop off the baby quilt at the LAQ  and practice my ukulele.   

My planned accomplishment for next week, binding and labeling two finished lap quilts. 
AND dust that table top!

Remember, the journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.
