Unraveling

If our life is a tapestry of fabric that we weave in and out of and weave our lives together on...How do you find individuality on that tapestry? It's not impossible to get things right the first time but it is rare. So is it necessary to unravel some of the fabric to find a unique and individual path? I think it can be...

The best comparison I have for this analogy was when I learned to knit. I started with a basic stitch and a simple scarf. I pulled that dumb thing apart I don't know how many times before I got it right and the stitching consistant. I still made mistakes along the way but for the most part I got it right...AND I finished what I started.

This unraveling that you may see in me isn't necessarily unhealthy though if it effects you it may be painful and scary to watch. It's painful for me too...But I can't re-do until I un-do. And I can't get it right if I don't pull things apart. I may make mistakes on the way to putting my life back together but I will finish this. Be patient:).

I hope that makes sense.

I am back! I feel like I have missed a lot.

I am a little jealous of the pics of So Cal! We have a bunch of snow on the ground right now. :-( I am ready for SPRING!

Makes sense to me. You are amazingly wise for one so young - perhaps your destiny is to become a wise old woman, as I did. Trust me, it's a beautiful thing... Peace.
