Well it's been quite a while since I have posted. Sorry for that, I was out of commission for a while from about September through to December, the computer died. Now that I'm back up and running I can begin to write again though perhaps not as frequently. I'll try. I've also been very busy with crocheting items.
This article here about health benefits of knitting/crocheting is a very good article that I think people should read. I've certainly found that it makes me happier and less stressed to do crochet and I have less anxiety. Even when I've done so on the phones I just seem to be better. However this does not help my body fight off colds and flus it seems.
I've been fighting this one off for just over a month on and off, finally took medicine thinking it would be ok and then boom! I now have a full blown sinus/chest infection that I'm fighting and can't sleep and let me tell you it's kicking my butt. It's the first of the year and I already took a day off of being at work and I really didn't want to. I might have to do so tomorrow too but we shall see.
They really have to put in a law that says that if you're sick then you should stay home and the company should pay for every doctor's note that has to be written for missing work for these things. There are people with pneumonia coming to work for goodness sakes and they shouldn't have to. We should be staying home with bedrest. I realize that we're missing work and we're being penalized by losing money but don't penalize us further by threatening our jobs and saying "you'll be fired if you don't come in" even when sick and throwing up! Even a doctor's note is worthless in some cases because you're not seen as being ill by the time you deliver it.
Anyway this year I'm hoping things will be better. I've noticed a difference while drinking teas, eating healthier and doing crochet. I have lost a bit of weight, I've been less stressed or having less anxiety attacks and seem happier. My goal is to continue and perhaps make a business out of my crochet items. Some of it sold and I already have orders placed, I just need the yarn for it. I have a lot of yarn already though to get me started! I'm hoping that I can do this on the side.
Other resolutions are : to write more frequently, to work out a bit more , to eat healthier and stay as fit as my body will allow, not miss work so much, to travel and to cook more. I also want to create more works of art, be it made of yarn or otherwise. Spending time with family and friends is hard but staying in touch is important so that's yet one other resolution at the top of my list.
I've come to the realization that I need to keep in touch with people because there are those that just drift off, some for reason, some for not. There have been a few that I know have mental troubles or home troubles that I would like not to lose and recent events of losing an old friend, she sadly took her own life, have made me think about things and life a little more closely. We take so much for granted.
Well everyone that's all for now. Here's to a happy 2015 and that we all can do our resolutions and most importantly make a better place to live and be healthy! :)
