Howdy y'all

I just found this article about how people who use their hands to express their creativity, help their mental health at the same time. Most of you seem fairly sane, but I have to worry about a few of us..... LOL!

I'm sure we are all sane, including any who may suffer from depression. I assume you didn't mean to be offensive but juxtaposing 'sane' with 'depressed' is in fact very offensive.

Actually the definition of sane is
free from mental derangement; having a sound, healthy mind: a sane person.


having or showing reason, sound judgment, or good sense: sane advice.


sound; healthy.

Synonyms are reasonable, sensible, judicious, level-headed.

I certainly didn't get that impression from her post, regarding the article. When we're tired, stressed out, or generally not feeling our best, it's especially easy to misinterpret the intentions of others. {{{{{ hug }}}}}

I love this. I feel so much better when I can sew.

Thanks so much for this link! I thought it was great to find affirmation in other areas that we as sewing enthusiasts seem to know by experience: that well being is enhanced by using our faculties to help ourselves. I did not take offense; tried to teach my kids "don't give offense, don't take offense." Summers are sometimes hard for me; I have to fight off the black cloud that wants to envelop me. This one has been pretty good so far; have kept busy !!!

This is so true...

She was just attempting to be humorous - hence the "lol". I personally found nothing offensive in her post and I think it's a reach for anyone else to. Sometimes we read what we want into others comments when we should make a better attempt to read what was actually said and meant.
