“When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things go wrong that you mustn’t quit.”
John Greenleaf Whittier

Last Sunday, I had stitched up to the letter ‘e’ and intended to stitch the letter ‘f’.
I not only stitched the letter ‘f’, but I stitched ‘g’ and ‘h’ as well.
Today, I will be sitting in my lawn chair and stitching the letter ‘I’. Maybe I will even stitch two letters!
Are you slow stitching today? Link up with Slow Sunday Stitching! There are lots of fun projects by like minded stitchers to see!
Stay healthy! Stay safe!

“You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.”
– Michelle Obama
“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.”
