I've learned a long time ago that "keeping things in circulation" works out a lot better than "exchanging" or "paying back"
I'm happy to see someone say that they like, "just keep things circulating"...bc what can happen sometimes, is a person would like to do for each one that did for them, and after a while, the pile of "obligations" is so heavy they feel bad.
someone on here said the other day that they don't make 'to do lists', just enjoying the quilting ride and the changing scenery.
That's the healthiest outlook to have, bc we all know we have more projects than time, etc. and after a while your so bogged down with "have-to's"...the fun goes out of it all.
I just do what I can, when I can, give here and there, but always, pray I remember to say THANK YOU! bc I am truly blessed down to my socks by even a little card.
I love being part of such a caring group of ppl that feel like family to me! :D
