When pain overwhelms us, or our emotions color our feelings, When Drugs cause us worry, or we fear another weird diagnosis... do you ever think on the Faithfulness of God?
Well over the years, HE has proved himself wonderfully faithful to me. SO I am grateful and I wanted to share some of the verses I found on Faithfulness with you.
Maybe you will have some more encouragement from it.

Knitting in the "Zone" with free patterns
In all sorts of creative undertakings we find when we get into a rhythm where our concentration dances to the creation, we enter the ZONE... and here the Pain is greatly diminished.
I recommend using easy Knit patterns, or Spinning something simple on a drop spindle, or playing like you did as a child, with crayon or watercolor... and let your mind just enter this peaceful place.
Pray and ask for guidance and Peace. I find with tension the muscles make the pain worse, so work on a project that is NO FAIL.
So please share, what are you working on??
I am now plying some white alpaca and in between I am knitting a lace dishcloth in cotton.
Be in the happy zone. Here are some patterns to get you started...
