Discovery

WOW

It is only Thursday and I have learned so much about myself this week.

Starting with the photo above.

I am working on Matilda's Christmas gift.

It started out being a huge surprise,

but

I ended up showing the fabric to Lauren.

Telling Jami about it

and posting this picture.

You are now sworn to silence.

I am making Matilda a quilt.

My conclusion is: I think that because I do not like surprises,

I tend not to keep any.

Last week, I did something brave.

{for me at least}

I stood up for myself.

I said: please stop that.It makes me uncomfortable.

I was angry when I said it and regretted it at first,

but now, I feel good.

It feels alot better than that feeling of someone walking all over you.

I have discovered that I am happyish again.

Yes, its true.

I have been scared and unhappy.

Faking happiness is such a waste of energy.

My secret is, find that happy spot and don't let anyone talk you out of it.

Can you believe I am in Christmas Mode?

No decorations or anything like that.

Just good old fashioned home-made gifts.

You know....home-made.....that's my happy spot.

What is your happy spot?

That place that allows you to 

feel, think, solve and smile all at one time?

It might take a moment to find it, but when you do it is great!

Now, back to Miss Matilda's Christmas Quilt.

You know me and that problem with surprises?

Well, look for a pic of the completed quilt soon!
{no secrets here. haha}

Love you to the fabric store and back!
