Hard to believe week 3 has passed, and I am still trying to recover from the flu. I feel (generally) much better… but things are still going so very slowly… and I haven’t been doing anything but the bare necessities. Yesterday, I was feeling a bit better, and Jim was awesome and not only took me out to get groceries and such… but he bought me flowers, and donuts. Last night I was able to sleep… and it was awesome. Hopefully, this is the start of me feeling much better… and I can get back to making things soon.

In other ‘news’….. I went through some of my books…. and realized I seem to have lots of “self help” type of books. I have always tended to gravitate towards these type of books. It’s a weakness, for sure. .. and I am sure that they whole “genre” relies on the fact that lots of us are just not confident enough with themselves. When you think about it… I think most folks just don’t trust their intuition enough. And if they are truly honest, they know what they innately need. (I need more sleep to be human, for instance). Reading self help books can sometimes become a trap. Part of the problem, is that what works for one person, doesn’t necessarily work for everyone. It’s not a one size fits all kind of world…. as much as some folks would like you to think it is. Plus, if you are so busy chasing an easy solution…. you are less likely to do the work required to really change. Here again, if you are honest, you probably already know what you need to do. It’s just a matter of doing it. So… one of the things I am doing this week… is skimming a selection of these books, and gifting them away. It’s a seemingly small task…. but one I hope to complete. That… and make some jewelry!
