I am grateful for meditation. I have been doing lots of his lately to help me sleep and relax. I like it because it takes me away and helps me forget about things going on in life for a bit. In Yoga on Thursday Night we did some of this. We went to our Secret Garden. For a moment I was in a place that made me feel calm and relaxed. When I was doing my morning meditation yesterday I thought about that place. It made me relaxed and ready to face the day.

I am grateful for the ability to sew. My Great-Aunt Virginia taught me to sew when I was a kid. She taught me to sew buttons. In Jr High Mrs. Lane worked with me to teach me to sew with a treadle sewing machine. Mrs. Strawderman taught sewing by machine and hand. We sewed buttons with Mrs. Branson in Pre Voc 9.

I can't thread a sewing machine today. I don't know how to tread a bobbin either. What I do know is that I can sew by hand. A skill that has come in handy in the last while.

Today at work I was putting that skill to good use. I was sewing handles back on bags that the kids use to put their nap blankets in. A few minor sticks with the needle, but all in all it went well.

Sewing is something that is not taught in school anymore. It is a life skill that is very useful.

I am grateful for silence. When I have had a really long and bad day silence is the best thing possible. When children misbehave it is good to send them to their room for a bit of silence or for me to just give them the silent treatment. There is a lot that can be said in silence.
