For All The Way's the Knitwits Care

Well, CVS is running this contest, so I figured I'd check it out. The website is:www.ForAllTheWaysYouCare.com

It took me a while to figure out who to blog aout, but I ultimately decided that I would chose the group of ladies on the Weight Watchers "KnitWits Unite" thread. I know, that seems a little weird, when I have a lot of other people in my life I could have picked, like parents, in-laws, siblings, husband, etc. This morning, though, when I signed onto that group, I found out that one woman in the group has been a foster parent for 19 years. There is a woman who is a nurse, there are women in schools, there are mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, and wives on that board. When my daughter was born, I got cards from women who's faces I've only seen in pictures (a few who's faces I've never seen at all). My daughter received beautiful knit gifts from the women on the board - bibs, sweaters, and the blanket Hannah naps under every day was knit by most of the group.

This is a group of women I feel comfortable sharing the inner workings of my daily life with, and never once feel like I will be judged. They read my blog, they help me with knitting, they answer my questions about taking care of my daughter, and I always look forward to sharing news with them.

This may not be the typical definition of caring, because they don't cook me dinner or buy my clothes or act like my mom. But when you find a group of people that let you really be yourself, THAT is what caring is about.
