Well. Got an email from a friend/co worker. She is now somewhere else, but we still email and run into each other at workshops and meetings. Got me to wondering;;;;;;;

did you ever wonder how many lives you have touched?

not just touched, but made a difference to. I am constantly amazed at how many people know who I am, think I am a nice person, and enjoy my company. I have many, many acquantainces, many of whom I will call friend. Not as close as my Debbie. We worked tog for 1 year and will be friends for life, I am sure. you see, I had met her once before when I was 17 (at a work placement for highschool) and I was trained by her for a few days. When I saw her again, she didn't remember me and was surprized that I remembered her. I thought she was neato then and I love her like a sister now. Our lives are very similar and we finish each others sentences. Soul mates.....funny how you find one and never wanna let em go. It is really great to be able to be understood and understand another person on another level, without talking. It still amazes me how much we are........that's it, just are. Here I am at 43 yrs old and have just met again my best friend. Never thought at this age soul mates can be found. It is making me teary here just thinking of us almost not meeting again.

Then you start to wonder.......how much of an impact can you make on anothers life? positive, negative, indifferent.........(me and my dots....again lol)

I would like to be remembered as a neat, fun and happy person, no matter the shit that happens in my personal and family life. My cup is ALWAYS HALF FULL.
heck, full......ever the optimist that's me.

I love to meet new people, maybe that is why the psychic said I will be a teacher....that way I can touch many lives. not a teacher per se, but a sharer of stuff (information, be it any kind of info). Have lots going thru my mind, can ya tell?
thinking of: losing weight, getting fitter,
running, singing, teaching in all its facets,
being, learning, helping,
but I think BEING says it all. Thanks to ALL who touch my life. I could start to name names, but you all know who you are. My online friends, fellow bloggers (even tho I can't link ya yet!), co-workers and ex-co-workers, family, friends, people I meet on the street and anywhere else. You all make an impact on MY life.......Hope I make one on yours.

Love from Lynn........ :o)

Well not much happenin. Been stitching on my main man. see him here

He is coming along nicely. I have been gridding a BAP and you can see what it will look like here http://www.muchadoaboutstitching.com/patterns/missal2.jpg

When I get a chance I will post a pic. Just starting to add a few stitches. Gridding took a while. I am only gridding part of it as I want to put SOME thread into it. lol

Things have calmed down a bit here. Lots of things happening soon. DH has an EMG test...for his disk problems. DD2 sees a psychologist this week, DS goes to see about psychriatic tests this month (possibly ADD :o( ) DD 1 is almost moved out.... :o( but we will move DD2 to her room and use her room as an entertainment/computer room. That will be cool. I am getting tired again with the anticipation of all the running around in the next few weeks. Remember 2003 being the year of "it's all about me"? well I thought 2004 could be I don't want anymore (crap, trouble, problems, health worries......yada yada yada)..so far.......it isn't happening.

April fool's joke on the TWBB was tres cool. I knew it was a joke as soon as I read it. Sad that some ppl got their knickers in a knot. Poor Whiz. The tension there was so thick you could cut it with a laying tool......You should NEVER believe at first value anything on the a.m. of that day. I remember my dad, every year, pulling the same joke. We would all be in the kitchen and he would look out the window and say...." It is so cold outside the birds are walking" and we fell for it every time....my gifted children.....lol they didn't fall for it ever. guess they didn't fall from my tree....thank goodness.

Well, gonna go stitch.
