A Quote Indeed.

 

Today I went onto Vicky Westras' blog.
Vicky is a wonderful Hockey Mom with two active boys
and part of a very supportive community.
Today she had pictures of her hockey week end .
 I borrowed  one of her quotes
because I thought it was beautiful.

"NO MOMENT FROM MY GOD
IS A ROCK OF BURDEN
IT'S JUST A ROCK WAITING

TO BE BROKEN APART

INTO STEPPING STONES."

I found this to be a profound saying and so true in life
so I wanted to pass it on.
Life throws many punches
but if we see it in another light
the load gets lighter
Even if it doesn't change things much
We keep on fighting

I made two big meals today for my son and one for my hubby
One was a steak with tons of onions and garlic topped with
fresh spinach in balsamic vinegar
and for supper I  baked Pacific Salmon steaks
 in a bit of butter, lemon pepper and garlic
with potatoes mashed in yogurt and garlic and boiled
cauliflower
I am a HUGE garlic lover and can't imagine food without it.
I think this type of food puts hair on your chest ( and other places ) lol
Powerful stuff.
My boys loved the food today as they said it melted in your mouth.

I have a good day when my guys love my food. lol
but the new hat I am making is another story. I am not enjoying it
so I really have to put the threads away and do other things now.
But they are so addictive
and I do enjoy working with them.
and if I inspire someone to begin doing them as well,
well....... I think it's good for the local economy and many other personal reasons
and makes the days fly by.
We used to have excellent thread sold around here and even wool directly taken off llama or sheep
It's so easy to spin this into wool thread by hand, but
the farms are being slowly sold off and I find this to be a shame.
Now we have to go up North or on one of the islands to buy it
by the kilo. Then you have to wash it and comb it before spinning it with a kind of wooden stick
by hand.
I never tried it myself but I think it's much better to buy local than to buy from China and you don't know what they put in this thread.
and what a thrill you get when something is finished and warm, lying beside you.

Another quote:

“When I stand before God at the end of my life,

 I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, 

and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.”
