Gratefully

There are many reasons why I'm thankful I can knit. Knitting gives me endless hours of entertainment, has brought many friends into my life, and what it produces keeps me warm. Spending days and days recuperating might well have made me crazy if knitting hadn't been my constant companion.

There are many reasons why I love the Internet. The top of the list would be friends. It's doubtful I would have crossed paths with many of the locals who have become BBFs. How on earth would I have ever met the friends who live across the county (or the world)? Fortunately, many of us have met face to face and the friendships have grown over years of blogging, emails and meet ups.

There are many reasons why I love living in Utah. The beauty of the mountains and the view I see everyday. Within minutes of leaving the house, we can be engulfed by the amazing canyons. I am grateful that Silver Lake is so near (20 minute) and I'm alive to walk around the boardwalk. At this point it will be next spring before it's cleared of snow, but I'll be one of the first to do so after the snow has melted.

You are absolutely right. It is best to look at everything we have to be grateful for in our lives, which certainly includes the 3 K's: Knitting, Knitting friends and Knature.
