Learning something new.

My friend J came over last weekend and taught me how to knit. 

I'm thankful for this new activity, & getting to spend time with her. 

I'm not sure if it is something I will keep up, but it has been fun to try.

As I struggled with how to hold the needles and where to put the yarn, I realized what my daughter must be going through as she is so often trying to learn something new in school.  I must begin to show more compassion.  Learning something totally foreign is difficult & takes time, but is not impossible.
