Day one...

I would like to start by saying, I almost completely forgot to write tonight.  And I realized I needed to write in the evening because in the morning, I am not sure what I'll be grateful for come evening.  So, I was lying in bed when I remembered.  Fortunately, I am a bit of an insomniac, so getting back up was not difficult.  The Fibro really effects my sleeping patterns.  But, that's a different story, for another time.

I would like to address the changes to my blog, as well.  Fortunately, not too many people were reading it, so not too many people will suddenly not be able to find it.  I guess this is a good thing, right?  The new web-address is as follows.  Please update your "follower" status, if you please.

Now, you're probably asking, "why such a huge change"?  I don't have a simple answer to that question.  Mainly, it's because I am a complicated person.  I do not allow any one single thing to define me as a woman, be it sewing, knitting, or even fibromyalgia.  So, having a blog that specifically focused on only one aspect of my life...well, it just didn't seem honest to who I really am. 

I read/follow quite a few blogs.  Yes, most of them are crafty-types.  But the ones that really catch my attention are written by people who share bits and pieces of themselves with their readers.  Honesty is so important to me.  I've always said, "My life is an open book," so why wouldn't it be here?  I want to live what I believe.  And honesty is what I believe.  Whole-heartedly.

This being said, on to my gratitude list; Day one...

*  I am grateful for a nice relaxing Sunday, at home with Jon and my blankets.

*  I love that it's finally crab season, and I finally was able to purchase myself a 1.5 lb crab to eat all.  by.  myself.  It was yummy!

*  I am soooo happy I remembered to write tonight, even though I was ready for bed.  The reminder was...well, let's just call it divine intervention.

*  I am very grateful I have someone to spend some time with tomorrow while my cleaning crew -- which I am more than grateful for -- comes over to clean my house.  Can't wait to see you, HF!!  Be prepared for lots and lots of yarn!!

I believe this about covers it for today.  I know there are going to be days when I have a difficult time coming up with things I am grateful for.  Fortunately, today was not one of them.

Have a wonderful night; Sweet dreams,
