“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Lovely pastime........

.......I was reading someone else's blog post the other day, and it mentioned learning to knit socks.  Thinking along the lines of what a pleasant pastime sock-knitting used to be for me, I dug around a little bit and brought out my stashed knitting supplies.   Pulling out this long-hoarded skein of superwash wool, I decided that there was no point in a FORMER knitter holding onto it, so I should find out if I even had the skills to use it anymore. 

Believe you, me, it was looking doubtful for awhile !   But I've gotten back into somewhat of a groove, and am even playing around with altering a pattern that I had used before.  I don't have much to show at this point, and I've already groused about my photo issues, so I'll just share this one poorly lit shot.

My mind is staying occupied while it is too cold to do much else, and for that I am thankful. 

No news yet on the trial situation, but on the 'Goldie front', I feel good in having spoken to her on the phone today.  She sounded like her old self, just a little tired.  We laughed together, having regrets that I couldn't visit in person, as hubby is taking his first cold of the season or something.   We had concerns over low blood pressure issues with him last night, but I think that he had just become a bit dehydrated.  That's doing some better now.
