what gorgeous patterns!!! i am a fiery redhead, but i’m still learning (at age 41) to take slow deep breaths, exercise daily, and most important – to pray!
Since it is only possible to think of one thing at a time, I will do something to distract myself such crocheting, singing with the radio or similar thing.
I use crochet patterns to enhance my knitting projects.
I breathe. It sounds simple but really if you concentrate on breathing it is calming. I use this often and haven’t had it not work yet.
DeannaThese look great. I’ve been trying to get a lot more flax in my diet and it seems to be helping decrease the hot flashes. This would be a tasty way to get even more. Thanks for the birthday wisdhs.Weney
