The Paisley Dis-Patch December 2021 Newsletter

December 2021 Volume 2, Issue 12

Hello Friends,

Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Feliz Navidad! Fröhlich Weihnachten! Buon Natale! Joyeux Noël! Whatever language you’re most familiar with, we hope this particular time of year is filled with lots of family, friends, happiness and joy. I have come to realize that quilters are busy people. Not only do we typically have one or more projects in work, but we still find ways to accomplish other less-fun tasks like laundry, house cleaning and feeding the pets. Regardless of our other essential duties, we still manage to carve out time to go the extra mile.

I know how much others around me do for their families, neighbors, and friends. I imagine you put in similar effort to care for those you love. Maybe your desire to serve includes supporting community activities, volunteering at a local hospital, or doing nice things for your co-workers. This year, quilters throughout Utah (where I live) will soon come together to tie hundreds of quilts for local women’s shelters and homeless individuals. I know those who willingly volunteer their time are compassionate people. And those who receive these quilts will be very grateful for a handful of quilters who cared enough to meet their needs.

Aside from the many people we each support, we should also find time to occasionally pamper ourselves. I remember years ago when counselors and therapists started talking about the need for us to do something nice for us. At the time I thought the idea was outrageous but, I soon realized the concept was never meant to suggest that we be self-serving or ignore other responsibilities. Rather it was a gentle reminder that we’re an equally important element in all that we do.

So, how do you re-energize your life? Manicures? Pedicures? Spa treatments? Mini vacations? A good book and favorite beverage? Whatever suits your fancy, I hope it brings you much peace, contentment and passion to do more good in the world.

Happy quilting!

~ Beth and Kami
