what does that mean? People say it all the time. down to nothing but there was gas to go to the store. Down to nothing but there is food. Down to nothing but there are 14 pair of shoes. Down to nothing but there is shampoo, dish soap, laundry soap, essential oils, supplies, cat and dog food, spices in the pantry, food in the freezer.
What does down to nothing really mean in your household?
In mine, it means the change jar is empty. It means the food stamps are spent. It means there is no cereal, no milk, no gas in the car, no cat food, ONE pair of shoes each, holes in our clothes, no ingredients for cleaners, and 4 days to go till anything replenishes.
I got up this morning, made herbal tea thanks to a friend who sent me a box of tea bags, and pulled on a pair of warm hand knit socks. I said thank you to the Goddess and a bit later, a lady I’m making hats for asked me if she could pay me half of what she’ll need to give me for 4 hats she’s commissioned since she has the money NOW.
Just when you are tempted to think you have nothing, you realize because of your friends, in your hands, you have exactly what you need.
About Morning Knits
I believe in and practice positive living. I love YARN, cooking, music, bird watching, herbs, and gardening. I am passionate about YHWH the Elohim of all the earth. I believe it's our responsibility to tend that earth. I basically do my thing in a quiet, amused way. I believe in laughter, and the power of combined prayer. I am a true homebody.
I have 6 kids, all home-born and successfully breastfed. They are all grown. I'm the oldest of 9, daughter of a missionary mother who lives in Kenya, and I have a spoiled service dog and 2 rescued cats.
Right now, there is balance after yrs of unemployment. My disability was approved due to degenerative discs, fibromyalgia, and obesity. That last is hard to say. I believe we owe it to ourselves to protect our mental health. It's precious and the one thing we can control. I would rather not do my own housework and I talk too much. I bought a house in North Carolina which I ended up leaving for my husband to sell. I'm a two-time caregiver. My husband and I are separated due to stroke complications and personality difficulties.
I am in Texas now. The one place on earth I said I'd never go unless Yah moved me there and HERE I AM! G and I are sharing a small apartment and so far, things are going well.
