When I'm really stressed after work or just a bad day, I love to sit and sew. In a very short time, I'm relaxed and it helps tremendously!
:lol: Oh, Katie, I'm so glad you said it. Those are my thoughts exactly. Many times I bring on the stress myself -- I over-commit. But it's just good to get away for a little while and get a different perspective on life. I didn't "need" what I bought, but I "needed" the splurge on ME.
What was most profound about my "flight" is that I don't usually drive in heavy traffic. At one point, I asked myself, "What do you think you're doing? Have you lost your mind?" :lol:
