Anniversary

An anniversary is a time to celebrate the joys of today, the memories of yesterday and the hopes of tomorrow. ~ Author Unknown

While the man and I were married four years on New Year’s Eve, the blog and I have had a much longer relationship.

We have been going steady for seven years today!

Seven… as in seven days of the week, seven continents, seven colors in the rainbow, lucky number seven.

And what is a proper seventh anniversary gift?.... copper and WOOL!!!! Now to get the blog to pay to process all my wool! Oh well …seven and wool….it still seems like 2012 is going to be a really good year!

Even the sheep to shawl was awesome this year. The winning shawl was gorgeous. All of this years shawls were unbelievable. Pictures of the PA Farm Shows sheep to shawl and fleece to shawl can be found here. http://www.farmshow.state.pa.us/EventPhotos2012.aspx?AID=741 and

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrenderbe on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others,even the dull and the ignorant;they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,they are vexations to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you may become vain and bitter;for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.Exercise caution in your business affairs;for the world is full of trickery.But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;many persons strive for high ideals;and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.Especially, do not feign affection.Neither be cynical about love;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantmentit is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,gracefully surrendering the things of youth.Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,no less than the trees and the stars;you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,whatever you conceive Him to be,and whatever your labors and aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
