Meditation

Never mind breathing meditation, walking meditation, or even sitting meditation. Move over boys, there's a new kid in town!

And his name is Crocheting!

Mam was in need of something to do with her hands...she's getting fed up with so much reading! So we headed into town to the wool shop. Exit two happy bunnies with big balls of wool and crochet hooks.

Now, I'm sure that in my youth (yes, I can still just about remember it!) I must have learnt how to crochet, and it did come back to me fairly easily today. But it really does need all my concentration!

One, two, three, single, one, two,three,single....

All I have to do now is co-ordinate my breathing with my stitches and I have it nailed!


My square!

So, today I am grateful for my new hobby...combining meditation with creativity!

Not sure what Thay would say to that one, but I'd like to see him crochet a square and worry about something else at the same time!!! Not gonna happen!

Gratefully yours.

    2. Na, you dont need energy to crochet...you do it sitting down eating buscuits and drinking tea :)
