I did not realize that I was depressed, but I did not want to do anything. I told myself that work was just not fun and I did not feel like doing whatever it was that I needed to do. I did a few sessions with a psychologist with and I did not see that I was getting help.

I then made an attempt to will myself into feeling better and doing what I needed to do. This worked for all of 2 days then I was right back where I started from.

One day there was a picture of a peacock feather blanket on Facebook. My neighbor asked me if I knew how to do that and I said that I did. She said that she and her daughter wanted to learn to crochet. She asked me if I could teach them and I told her that I would need some time to freshen up on my skills. That was all that it took and I was hooked on the crochet hood again.

I no longer put off doing my exercise and have work laid out to do each day knowing that when I sit down to rest or when I am talking on the phone I will be practicing crochet stitches.

I am so happy now that I am back into my arts and crafts.
