23/31 Progress and Learning - Weaving Update

        It's been a pleasure to write for this challenge. I'm reading as many posts as I can, and enjoy the creativity and uniqueness of each. Thank you everyone for sticking to it, for your dedication! You can find all the slicers at Day Twenty-Three for the Two Writing Teachers, Slice of Life Challenge.

     Things I've learned this week about weaving, and that I already know about life:

•         Yarn gets tangled; so does life, even during one day. (Oh, what a tangled web we weave...)
•          Yarn that is all wrapped up in the skein becomes a different color and texture when it is unwrapped. (Don't judge a book by its cover.)
•          Plans imagined aren't always the ones that end up being completed.  (Go with the flow...)
•          Looking ahead doesn't work as well as focusing on the moment. (Life is available only in the present moment.-Thich Nhat Hanh) 
•           It's a good idea to have everything needed before one starts. (Look before you leap.)

Hm-m, my OLW is a good one!

        Thanks go to  the Two Writing Teachers blog, to Ruth and Stacey for hosting Tuesday Slices of Life, a way for others to share parts of their lives, personal and professional. Come join in the fun!

      After reading everyone’s posts last week, I thought more and listened to others, not just noting their One Little Words, but the “why” of them.  The arc of my life is not the usual geometric half-circle, but more similar to a roller coaster, numerous ups and downs, and the downs are not necessarily bad, they can sometimes mean quiet and rest.  And the ups might be excitement and incredible experiences, or they might just mean hurry, much on the to do list.  So, I thought that I might choose the word “flexible”, yet I know that I am, I was, I will be.  That is a trait already ingrained, not a word to live by.  Finally, I pondered the beginnings, the new year, the new home and knew that my word for this year must be “possibilities”.  Think of it!
