shesingsnowThe siren call of work is very strong this morning, but I am stopping for a moment to ground myself by writing for a few minutes, before I dive in.
I love blankets. I have lots of lap blankets, although I am not organized enough to use them effectively. The critters sleep on them quite a bit, because I have a few folded up on the backs of the couches. Some lap blankets were gifts and I feel either awkward/resentful or ambivalent about those particular blankets, but not so much that I find new homes for them. Frequently, because I want to keep the blankets I love in good shape, I end up using the blankets that I'm not crazy about or that bring up bad memories.
A childhood friend posted a handmade granny-square afghan on my town's free-for-the-taking site last night. She selected me as the giftee. I think it's a great sign that I shift to using blankets I love rather than blankets that make me feel either bad or empty. (I really didn't need it, but I wanted it!) Marie Kondo to the rescue!
Off to work, then!
