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.

Darkest Before Dawn

Remind me when I get teary at Steve’s regressions that they come after and before breakthroughs. The disconnects are so complete that I forget they are temporary. I’ve never felt anything so completely overwhelming in my life. I can’t even … Continue reading →

SEEDS!

Posted on April 9, 2016 by Morning Knits

A local friend asked me if I’d grow her seeds in exchange for having a share of the plants. I didn’t have money for my own seeds and she doesn’t have time to grow hers. What a blessing for both … Continue reading →

12 more hours

Posted on December 2, 2015 by Morning Knits

It’s been so wonderful having Steve with me. He was 5 hrs later than we’d talked about. I totally cried when I first saw him – but if you think I was happy, you should have seen the dogs. Rory has … Continue reading →

and again, he’s coming

Posted on November 29, 2015 by Morning Knits

I’m impatient. I want him here with me and he’s busy loving me and trying to make me happy by fitting in all that he can into the car. He’s been delayed by packing my things into the car and … Continue reading →

closer and closer

Posted on November 28, 2015 by Morning Knits

He’s coming. He’s better, over being angry. I can’t wait. I want to drag him into bed and keep him there and we have obligations OUT of bed! I love this man so much and he can’t stay yet. I … Continue reading →

finally, a visit!

Posted on November 27, 2015 by Morning Knits

Hubby is coming Sunday night and leaving on Wednesday morning. I had to talk to his boss so there was enough notice given. He’s bitching a hundred miles a minute. I am so afraid he will back out on the … Continue reading →

almost quiet

Posted on November 14, 2015 by Morning Knits

Seems the way out of discussing this situation is to give me two-minute check ins once a day. He’s sick and doesn’t feel like talking. I have lump in the throat-itis myself. I hate that I can’t stop this momentary … Continue reading →

fucking honesty

Posted on November 9, 2015 by Morning Knits

I told Steve to stop putting things off this morning. Stop complaining about HOW people help him and be thankful they are helping him.  Things are improving and he can’t see past the rain. I hate saying things are on … Continue reading →

Got everything I needed to accomplish today, handled. The $1,600 utility bill The city sent me, was knocked down to $297. (I just had to keep my cool. There was no way it was even possible for the bill to … Continue reading →

I got a bit angry last night…

Posted on October 10, 2015 by Morning Knits

Steve called at about 5:30 to give me bad news. He was stranded again. The truck had given out for the 14th time I think. I listened to him tell me where he was, how lucky he’d been to have … Continue reading →
