January 2021
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE As 2022 is now upon us, the subject of New Year’s resolutions is in the front of my mind. Do you make them? More importantly, do you keep them? This year, I have resolved not to resolve anything that I will find hard to keep. I resolve to spend less time at the computer and more time at the sewing machine. I resolve to enjoy quilting more and not wait until the last minute to finish a project, therefore making it a chore rather than a pleasure. That said, I will try to apply that attitude to my other responsibilities. Finishing a project, whether it be a quilt, a household chore or catching up with an old friend, makes you feel fulfilled and happy. Why not be happy? We all deserve to feel happiness and fulfillment. We sometimes cheat ourselves out of good feelings when we really should take care of ourselves. During a very chaotic 2021, I found that my friends were urging me to take care of myself. I realized that it is not selfish to see to your own wellbeing. You cannot function well for others if you are not taking care of yourself. So, be kind to yourself! This letter to the Guild members did not start out to be so serious, but it has evolved into such. I want to let each and every one of you know how much being a part of the Guild has meant to me and how privileged I feel to be serving as your president. This new year of 2022 is an opportunity to be our best selves and to rise to new challenges. In the inimitable words of Jean-Luc Picard, “Make it so”. (Yes, I know I am a geek, and I am proud of it.) ~ Nancy |
