The Wise One is a mom, grandma, mentor...an all around awesome person. She's got an amazing outlook on life and a wicked sense of humor. She is my Jedi Master in many things.
And I am Grasshopper.
I am fortunate to have her in my life. She gives me all sorts of good advice, positive feedback, and encouragement. She listens when I speak. She always asks how my day is going and is genuinely interested in the answer. And the best part? I can give her that same goodness right back.
When I've had a bad day in the yarn department, when I don't do what I should or haven't done as much work (or any work at all!) she tells me that it's okay. The other thing that she constantly reminds me of is I can only be responsible for my own actions. There is no point in worry about the things I can't control. That's one I'm still working on. But I am certainly trying.
Everyone should be so lucky as to have a friend like The Wise One.
Still working on C-Lou's afghan. I need to get cracking. My new (and as solid as I can make it) goal is to finish it by the end of the week. If push comes to shove, then I will hole up this weekend and work my ass off until it's finished. I'm very, very, very, tempted to keep it. I really love it. But I know that she will, too, and that makes me smile. But I really need to get it done and give it to her so that I don't just...keep it. It's not for me.
Maybe one day I will make one for myself, hm?
