Priorities
Good morning! How are you? I am doing well, I continue to ignore the summer weather. It hasn't been too hot this week. I had to buy some more items to repel the sun: sun block, sun hat, and another fishing shirt that blocks the sun. Even though I cover myself head to toe, the sun still finds a way to get me! (sun exposure activates my auto-immune disease). I am determined to win the battle.
I saw a fallen leaf on the ground as well as an acorn. Delightful!! Promises from Mother Nature!
Above is the sock I forgot to photo for the knitting post. I'm doing four rows of stockinette, a purl row, four rows of 1x1 ribbing, another purl row then repeat all of it. I need to do something to keep the knitting engaging.
I've been thinking about my priorities and how I am sometimes skipping out what is important to me on the days that I get a little busy. I started changing my exercising routines and incorporating more healthy meals as well as making sure I get my much needed down time where I rest and read during the past few weeks.
When I rest, exercise and eat right, I feel my best. When I skimp on those aspects, I don't feel so great. The older I get the more important it is to stay on the healthy path!
What are your priorities? How do you get back on track?
I love the patterning you are doing in your sock. I need some mental stimulation when knitting plain socks also. :) We haven't been eating the best lately and I can definitely tell the difference. You have inspired me to make a plan this weekend. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe cooler weather has helped me get a bit back into knitting (but it is still terribly humid). And...still trying to figure out what washer I want!!
ReplyDeleteI do like that yarn! I feel lucky to be able to get back on track; because I'm retired I can make sure I get enough sleep, take time to cook, and I always try to make sure that I have some crafting time every day.
ReplyDeleteI love the yarn you are using. So glad that you are doing what you need to do to feel healthy and happy. I am also looking forward to fall. It has been really hot here. Have a good weekend. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteSound advice on priorities, my friend. It's easy to put them aside when we have other things going on.
ReplyDeleteI have been struggling with getting the rest, healthy eating and exercise balance right recently. It is easy to get off course. I like the sock that you are knitting. Lately I am avoiding too much sun. I slather myself with sunscreen, but my forearms and shins get extremely itchy in the summer. I may have to cover up too
ReplyDeleteGreat sock! I wish I had the willpower to make healthy meals a priority. I know I feel SO much better when I eat properly but....
