A tie would be reading. But you are right, it is too easy to get caught up in the work-a-day world and forget to take time to center yourself!atethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563533672161608587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-19773592239019637672007-07-02T23:56:00.000-04:002007-07-02T23:56:00.000-04:00I just noticed that you have more than one Linda w...I just noticed that you have more than one Linda writing to you.

Your "quilt mentoring" has been such an encouragement to me.<BR/><BR/>At one time, gardening/landscaping satisfied my need for creating and being centered. When I worked outside my home, I depended on the daily walk to clear the cobwebs and bring calmness.<BR/><BR/>Now with age, I am not able to do much of either. I have re-discovered quilting and really depend on it...planning, cutting, piecing, quilting...to give that sense of peace and relaxation. Of course, I believe that real peace comes only from God, but I also believe that he uses these kinds of activities, especially for women, to fulfill that need for creativity and "togetherness" in ones being. <BR/><BR/>Do stop to smell the roses--that's why they are there. :-)<BR/><BR/>LindaLindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-47833089060590800682007-07-02T22:56:00.000-04:002007-07-02T22:56:00.000-04:00Walking, traveling, reading, and quilting are the ...Walking, traveling, reading, and quilting are the things that make me happy and content.

Like you I have to do some handwork each day to keep from going crazy... when everything is running smoothly, I have a little bit of time in the morning to sew or knit or experiment. Sometimes it gets pushed to the evening, but I find it is one of the things really necessary for my peace of mind!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-67435902685325981592007-07-02T12:10:00.000-04:002007-07-02T12:10:00.000-04:00I love to get up early and do some stitchery or ha...I love to get up early and do some stitchery or hand quilting before anyone get up here - maybe with the radio on and a cup of tea or coffee on the side.
