Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. ~Anaïs Nin, Diary, 1969

Knitting or Xanax?

That is a joke. I am vehemently anti drug. Some days though, so many little things happen to stress me out that I am resisting the urge to do something destructive like throw something, or eat tons of sweets. A few days ago, I wrestled with blogger’s photo loading. I couldn’t get the pictures to post in a column. I was so frustrated. I am also job hunting and was discouraged about that. I worked on a post idea and decided not to post it. I then deleted it on blogger.



Later, On a chat for a class I am taking on blogging, I found out about Google Reader. From that chat, I found out it would be a good idea to subscribe to my blog on Google Reader. Later, I went ahead and subscribed myself to Google Reader. When I looked at my blog, I found out the hard way that Google Reader shows my deleted posts. I also found out that there is no easy to delete posts off Google Reader. It was a rude little lesson on the fact nothing is really permanently deleted off the Internet. I was upset and embarrassed that people would see a post on Google reader but not on my blog. The motto of that is edit not delete when working on posts in blogger. I sat down with my knitting to clear my head and try and feel better. After knitting a while, I felt better. These photos are my current projects. The first one is the back of a sweater. The second picture is a scarf pattern.
