Game-Changer: Options

I read an article today that made me stop in my tracks.

A widow was recalling when, two months after her husband's passing, there was an upcoming parent-child event at school.

A friend suggested to her that she take a "stand-in dad."

"But I want my husband here."

"That's not gonna happen."

"But I don't want anyone else; I want him."

Her friend wisely responded, "That's option A.  Option A isn't available.
Let's go kick butt on Option B."

     What is your Option B that you reluctantly stare at, really wishing for Option A?
I have a few As that have been derailed in the past two years...and am left with only Option Bs.
     I can choose to look back and long for the As or gently lay them down (mine are "currently not available") and pick up the Bs and find to my surprise that the Bs aren't nearly as frightening as I had hitherto thought.
     Here's to a B day!

kits finally done

I finally got the basket ready for the Volunteer Luncheon, set for later this spring.

I like working en masse because you get a chance to learn small tips----no matter how small the nuance-----when you have to make a lot of something. Plus, it makes me feel like I am contributing something sizable.  Goofy me.

Owls and Faith

I took 2 dozen owls to the Cancer Floor because it was Wednesday and they all needed a lift, or so I summized.  It is always fun to give away things you make with TLC.
 
Nikki, I hope you and DR are enjoying Julia, Gabi, and Adela.  We'll have to further discuss your talent of juggling....and what that might mean for your household. ;) 
 
Faith likes to go out with me no matter where I go.....tonight I wanted to take out the trash so I loaded her up in a wool-batted quilt...it is supposed to snow...she looks so funny in the quilt but no longer fusses over it cuz she sure can feel the cold wind at her little nose and eyes.
