New Hobby: Knitting

      Long distance relationships are not easy, especially when communication is extremely limited. So the advice that I got was “STAY BUSY”. Stay busy? I felt like I was pretty busy as it was but then I realized I wasn’t as busy as I needed to be. So a few days ago I decided to start a new hobby, knitting.

A few years back my sister-in-law somewhat showed me about knitting. Because I was much younger at the time she never took me seriously and I don’t blame her because I didn’t even take it that seriously either. Long story short I forgot the few things I learned and I had bought the materials thinking “Well, now I have no excuse not to learn.” So off I went to Youtube to look for some lessons.

What was to unfold I never expected, I can’t stop knitting. Its so much fun! I’m currently working on a scarf for my mom, and I haven’t stopped since day one. I love it! I have so many ideas of projects planned. My favorite is a blanket for my sweetheart and I to use when we watch movies. Scarfs, scarfs, and more scarfs. I love scarfs and I can think of a variety of colors to use! Can you tell I’m excited? I have several plans for this new hobby that I hope to accomplish in the near future.

Anyone else like knitting? If you are and like to help causes you might looking into knitting charities. Its a great way to help out, plus you get to have fun. For more information Google: knitting charities. If anyone out there has tried this and recommends any charities don’t hesitate to leave a comment of send me an E-mail my way!

Smile, you know you want to start knitting too!

Thank You For Helping

Not too long ago I came across with SocialVibe, a widget that is available here on WordPress to add to your own blog. When I found out what it was all about I knew I had to add one here. I chose the Charity:Water cause, and there are many other causes you can support on SocialVibe as well. There are causes for the environment, Red Cross, Invisible Children, education etc. If you have a WordPress blog you too can add one to your blog by going to your Widget Settings. Adding the widget is easy, just choose your cause, and join the many other people who like you are making a difference in the world.

I chose the Charity:Water out of all the other available because that is the one that called out to me the most. There are many others that I wish I had chosen as well, if I could I probably would’ve chose them all. However due to the restriction I must use my “Divide and Conquer” hat, and do one thing at a time. Water, it is vital and necessary for everyone. Our bodies are made up of a high amount of water, and the issue is, not everyone has the means to acquire it. I’m talking about drinkable water, clean water. I think many of us have gone through times when our thirst is so great and many of us might have drinkable water readily available, that is not the case for many people in the world today.

Although we live in the year 2010, many think that today we have so many advances in medicine and technology and many other fields too, and that is correct. It doesn’t matter if we live in the year 2010 or some year down the line, there will always be someone who is in need and today there are people who need water, food, shelter. Because water is so important, I’m supporting this cause. It only takes a little of your time to make a difference in someones life.

The world needs our support, every little grain goes a long way.

Thank you, thanks for helping the world and thanks for using the widget on this blog.

Smile, make a difference today.
