My Blanket...
# 50 of 365.
When I was little I used to carry a blanket around with me. It was a comfort thing. I probably had that blanket or a very small portion of it for many years. When I got married, many years later, I worked with a woman who crocheted beautiful gifts for weddings, new babys and birthdays. She made me a very pretty blue and white blanket as a wedding gift which I just loved. Well that was 33 years ago and it still looks like new. To this very day I still use it and I use it just about every day, summer, winter, spring or fall. It keeps me warm in the coldest of winter nights, it provides me the warmth when I am chilled by the air conditioning, it sometimes acts as a pillow if one is needed. It serves multiple purposes but most of all I think it has become another comfort thing and I am very well into adulthood!
My good friend Kim has a pillow, that I gave to her as a gift many years ago, which serves as a comfort to her. That pillow has traveled near and far! It sports a new cover now as the other began to look shabby. I remember one time while visiting San Diego; she left it in the hotel only to discover when we were miles north. She began to cry; I laughed a little but understood just how she felt. I would have done the same had I left "my blanket" in a hotel. P.S. she did get her pillow back! Thank God!
Are we crazy? Does anyone else have a favorite blanket, pillow or comfort type thing? I just want to know, maybe it's time for me to grow up and get rid of my blankie!
