The Journey and a Christmas Wreath

Today is my birthday. 

It seems that I have been finding my birthdays difficult as they continue to roll by, I guess because they mark the passing of time in such a personal way. Therefore, The Journey by Mary Oliver is what I am sharing today. It was originally shared with me by a woman who helps me with spiritual direction from time to time, and then I heard it last week in a podcast that I had playing while crocheting last Sunday.

 

Technically as this week should be a crochet post, here's the Mini Christmas Wreath I whipped up today. A very simple project that looks so cute! The pattern is by MJ's Off The Hook Designs, a recent website I have discovered that is full of free patterns and tips - the pattern is here.
