Stitch Away Stress

Spotted this some time back on Facebook and thought it worth saving and sharing with you all.  I personally agree with this statement, stitch away the stress.  I know when my Mother was critical ill I sat many hours in ICU at her bedside stitching.   Through the years I've read many blogs where others have done a similar thing, some talk about being able to keep their hands busy, others talk about keeping the mind focused on something else, others discussed how it was the one "normal" thing they were able to do.  I know we all face ups and downs, does yarn help you?

I hope things are well with you all, and you're not in need of stress releasing stitching, that you're all just stitching for the pure enjoyment of it, but if you are stressed...I hope you find some comfort in your yarn and needles and hook.
