handknit blessing


this made me cry. last friday i had been having a tough morning, touch and go feelings-wise, and very little to show for accomplishment of any sort. i stopped by the mailbox on my way back into the house from dropping the little girl at preschool, and found a package from my dear friend synden. she had said something was on its way, but i was totally unprepared for this! what a gorgeous shawl! hand knit by one of my dearest friends! i cried. and cried. okay, maybe i needed a cry, but this would have made me cry anyway. it means so much to me, and is so cozy, and she even incorporated some of the lovely handmade glass beads my brother jon made. i feel so blessed. on a day where i felt nothing was going right, all of a sudden there was this huge blessing, generously bestowed by a fellow knitter/artist. life is sweet, and friendship is the sweetest part of it, i think....
