But, in keeping with my Florida thoughts, I have to show you how fast I'm knitting on this Coral Cables pillow.
I've done an outstanding job, don't you think? Okay, maybe I shouldn't brag yet, but I feel good about how much progress I've made. BIG honking needles make it go so, so fast!
This calendar page has lots of colors I'd like to find to make some complimentary pillows with.
Watching the movie "BIG" with Tom Hanks last night, reminded me of a job I had over 20 years ago doing something similar to what 'Josh Baskin' did when he found himself to be larger than life. He got a job at a toy company doing data entry. That's what I did back in 1986 for a music management company. The company I worked for collected those little pieces of paper that people filled out at concerts when folks wanted to be put on the mailing list for upcoming concerts and events. Now that kind of thing is all done through the internet, and that type of work is probably obsolete, but for me back then, pregnant with my first child, it seemed to be a great job with little physical exertion and lots of quiet, routine work to look forward to. ( I don't like drama.)
I love the way Tom Hanks' character walked into an environment whistling his own tune. He did not know what his future held, but he certainly made the best of it. Even to the point that he had to decide if he wanted to go back to his old life. The lives he changed while in an adult world, were better off for his presence. What a great example! I wanna be like that. No matter where I go, and no matter how long I stay, I want to make the best of the situation.
