funky town

For some reason I have just been in a complete emotional funk the past few weeks, and I cant seem to shake it. You would think that I 'm doing good at work, picking up a job at the LYS and being less that a month away from ALC7 *have you donated yet* I would be on the moon...but I'm not...

So I figured I could do something more...that might help me out. So i bought Knitting for Peace. I LOVED this book and im glad I finally got it. But I cant stop crying when i read it...

case in point...

i was reading about mother bear project its a charity where you knit teddy bears and send them to children in africa that lost their parents to HIV/AIDS and more than likly they have it too...this little girl lost her parents then found out she was positive at school they teased her and made her life hell she told the teacher that her only freind was this bear that she got from the project when she died they made sure she was burreid with that bear...

Now how the hell am i suppose to knit when i have stories like that making me...well all leaky?

We should organize a knit along at Mass Ave for the wee bears and then donate them to that organization. Would that make you feel better? After your bike race, though.
