He says things like, "Do what makes you happy!" regardless of the situation. And really, it makes sense. If you do what makes you happy, the rest of the good things in your life follow. That is, assuming you're not a serial killer. (The best thing he says lately, and it's only when my mom isn't around is, "Oh! Who gives a F? I mean, really!" That doesn't apply here, but it's funny to hear an almost-60 year old man say it!) Dude, my dad, who used to not make a d^mn bit of sense to me, now makes all kinds of sense.

I really don't know what to say. I think the best thing you can do for yourself is to take the time to really get to know you and see what it is you want and that you need for you. Sometimes you do need to take the time to explore yourself and see what you need before giving up yourself to someone else. It's hard to mesh yourselves in a relationship without losing yourself sometimes. You will come thru to the other side and learn what it is you need. Good luck. I think you will go far with designing knitwear as I find you so very talented. Oh, Sarah. I really don’t know what to say.

I can't wait to see the finished design. I'm dead curious about what you've got in mind for incorporating that great cable design on the left with the lace. There are so many ways to get lost. I'm glad you've found the first step back to yourself. The swatch looks gorgeous. I can’t wait to see the finished design.

I think your test asks much more pertinent questions. Life was easier when everything had an answer, and it was one of five things. Let me know when you find the answer key to your test.

Lookin' very pretty there. And sounds like you've got one answer there... It's a start. Note that it happens to be something you're very good at, too. Even better.

I can't wait to see what you come up with by way of a design. I also love the quotes above from Ruth and Rob. Both very good things to keep in mind. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the swatch.

It's enough to answer a few questions right now, and the others will start to be apparent soon enough. The swatch is beautiful. I can't wait to see what you do with it! Exactly.

You've probably seen it lying around the house recently: "Don’t ask so much what the world needs. Go out and do what makes you come alive, because what the world needs most are people who have come alive. " I don't even know who Howard Thurman is, but that's what I want for myself, and that's all I want for you, Sarah. I want it more fervently than anything.

Sharp No. 2 Pencils, unhappy faces, stern looking teachers... As for real life, I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up either! If we only knew how easy life was when we were kids!
