I always wanted to be a writer, but sadly I am not. I love the perfect phrase that brings to life and to light those shadowy perceptions or emotions that we know are there, but don’t have the words for. I love to read the posts of those of you who are so articulate and so open. I admire you! I thank you for your insights, your talent, your honesty and your discipline in writing it all down.
Even though I would love to be one of those great writers who inspire or provoke or encourage or entertain, I don’t think I will be. At least I don’t think I will ever consistently keep up my blog. I want you to know that I read yours though. I don’t always comment, but I enjoy learning so much from you all. I am a better person because of your work. Thank you and please keep it up!
No, this isn’t goodbye. I am still here, and I will post a blog soon. I want to show off my knitting. I have begun knitting socks. I am working on my 4th pair. I have three afghans in the works. they are in the planning stages, but soon I will cast on and be on my way. I love the serenity of knitting. But that is another story for another day.
Thank you, all you wonderful Xanga friends. I am still here, just going through a quiet spell.

I know what you mean and totally recognize it.
There are so many talented writers here on Xanga. How I would love to be able to turn a phrase from humdrum to “tada”, lol.
Well, I am very impressed that you knit socks. But I am impressed by anyone who can knit beyond the basics – I have tried. I have one afghan that I have been knitting for about 10 years. It is about 1/2 done. I can crochet, though. I can get the tension right in crocheting, but can never seem to manage it in knitting. I don’t know why that is.
I look forward seeing your work.
Would love to see your knitting if you ever post it.
I can’t wait to see your knitting – I too knit socks, prayer shawls, and lately a prayer hat for a friend who had cancer – I used sock yarn to make an interesting hat, and he loved it.
