Today is another hard day physically. I am in a really crappy flare and its lasted long enough that now neuropathy and hypersensitivity of the skin have presented (this is a normal step in my "disease ", it just means that inflammation is high) All joints and muscles are achy, but I am not letting that stop me! I am pacing myself and continuing to do what brings me joy. This morning I'm grateful for: 🌧 the sound of the rain against the walls and roof of my home ❄️ the possibility of snow (yes, the weather is killing me, but i love the snow) 🫂 snuggles from my youngest monkey 🗣conversation with my hubs 💪to wake another day 💧remembering electrolytes and supplements before anything else. ☕️fresh ground coffee; the scent, the flavor ❤️ pure will 🌱 growth What's your gratitude list this morning.

Hopefully you are home from work or headed home soon when you see this. When you finally get to wind down, kick your shoes off, change into your comfy pants and grab your hook and yarn, tell us about the yarn you are using tonight. Is your yarn a super soft cloud or a prickly cactus? Tell us what you’re feeling today.

I spent the better part of the day away from socials and came back to a pleasant surprise! We had 2 new members pending! I want to officially welcome you both, @Autum Bock & @Kimberly B to our Sanctuary! Please find the Start Here Post to learn a little more about the Sanctuary. Please give them a warm welcome! We look forward to learning more about you while we tackle the hook and string!

Wins thread 🥳 Share a win — big or small. We celebrate progress in the Sanctuary.
