Priceless Therapy

LOL.........truly!  I nodded and smiled when I spotted this cute and sooooooooooo very true comic.  How bout you?  We hear all the time how good knitting and crocheting is for stress reduction, for keeping our minds active etc.  This just seemed perfect.

Can you relate?  I know I can.  As I think of all the time I spent at my Mothers bedside during her long 7 week hospital stay prior to her passing, I think without yarn in hand I would have lost it.  It truly was beneficial to me, soothing for me, and soothing for her.  She knew I was there, she didn't feel she had to talk, she could rest, but we could just be together.  It gave me something to focus on, to help me stay rational.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
