Doing something you enjoy doing is the best way to spend your time, and if you can encourage others to follow their dreams as you did yours All the better. I am beyond over the paycheck-to-paycheck thing; it isnât any fun. Who says you cannot have fun and pay your bills at the same time. It’s time to do something new. Itâs time to be free to be the Best You – you can be.

I spent all morning trying not to worry about my amazon package, checking the delivery time every ten to fifteen minutes, and when I missed my last check in. I was happy when it showed that it was delivered. My smile turned into a frown when I opened my front door. No package.
Okay, just breathe was my first thought as I went back into the house, to get a jacket, and started blessing an unknown person out as I walked towards the mailbox.
I saw a box, no my name wasnât on that package, but when I opened my mailbox. I smiled when I saw my package and apologized for thinking the worst of my neighbors. (Sad, to say I have had a package or two.
I donât think I am the only one who gets a little stressed over getting a package? I have one more to go, then I can relax.

I decided it didn’t matter how I was feeling, when asked I will always say, “I am good,” because I know words are powerful and I am blessed.
Matthew 12:37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.â NIV (New International Version Bible)
As I go over today invents, I am smiling, because I know what I have to do – to hold onto this Smile….

Trying and trying again is getting old, but I am way too stubborn to give up. I kept on seeing things to do in Canva, so I thought I would try something new, and making âthank you cardsâ didnât seem too hard.
I thought of 15 ways to say, âthank you,â but I wished I hadnât wasted my time, because I couldnât do the next part.
The steps were simple enough:
This didnât work for me, no matter the times I tried, and I didnât bother to create a free Etsy account. Okay, this didnât work, but I am not going to stop until I find something that will work.
I am BEYOND TIRED OF WORKING A FULL TIME JOB for a company that doesnât know who I AM!!!!!

I love to crochet. There’s no surprise there. If I am sitting, most likely I am crocheting. My favorite stitch is the granny square. Although I donât like stitching them together. I will post a few videos from my favorite crafters that show how to crochet granny squares.

I found a better way to start my granny square⌠A standing single stitch takes the small bump away. I came up with this thought last night, because there was little light in my room. (Oh, I do not recommend crocheting with only light coming from the TV) When I got to a corner, I could barely see that third stitch, so when I turned my project around and was getting ready to make that slip stitch. I stopped. I was thinking can I do a standing crochet stitch? I was way too tired to keep thinking about this, so I just did it. I was so happy, because it worked.
** sidenote: I tried to find a video of a standing crochet stitch and there are way too many. I saved some, but they are lost in my group list as well.
I didnât see what I did, so maybe it wasnât a standing stitch after all. No, it was my standing stitch, and one day I will start my own YouTube channelâŚ.
My standing stitch goes like this: a single stitch, turned, another single stitch, I only pulled through one stitch, now there is two stitches on my hook, I pulled through one stitch, and now there are two stitches left, pulling through those two to make the height of a double crochet stitch.

I had to make myself stop adding some of my favorite granny squares and when I do stitch my squares together, I did Ms. Lyza Waltersâ stitch.
I am so over typing about crocheting, because I really want to crochet in the daytime with enough light to see every stitch.
