In his book Tao te Ching, Lao Tse of ancient Taoism taught that it is better to let go of feelings of revenge. That person creates his own karma as his life goes on.
Today's translation of his words are:
Don't waste your time on revenge. Those who hurt you will eventually face their own karma. Lao Tse
I remember those classes well, I loved going there and hearing the reverence and tolerance they had for life, it shaped my own life more than anything else has. It was an acceptance I have never felt since. I used to write a series of posts that talked about how the Tao te Ching related to Quilting. I might have to revisit it. There are many of us who could use the lessons.
Groan......
I have a headache, for 24 hours now. And the entire post I just typed in disappeared. Can you say "insert bad words here"? I went to the ENT yesterday and got a steroid shot and an antibiotic shot. I need my ears to stop ringing. I don' think this is the total cause, but the steroids will feel good for a while.
So what I wanted to say was this:
I am adding this to the Improv site by Fret Not Yourself. (Click to go see others.) I am 99.9 % sure it is Improv. I wanted an easy but girly cute quilt for the first child my nail salon owners are having in January. I had intended to add three corner chunks to each block section to make them look like flower petals, but I got lazy. It would have totally been clearly Improv.
Tomorrow, if my head feels better, I will begin laying out the quilts that will be given away for Christmas this year. There may be spaces I need to fill in before Christmas. I think every one will be excited about their gifts. And I will make room in my quilt pile for more wonderful quilts. My problem is that I love so many of my creations that is it really really hard to part with them. 
I have to consider that person "Quilt Worthy". That comes from an old Seinfeld episode where Elaine was no longer able to find her birth control sponges since they had been discontinued. She found a huge box of them wholesale but knew she needed to ration them. Now every man needed to be "sponge worthy". Some were found to be lacking under this new scrutiny. Go and see the quilts that my friends at AHIG is creating. You might get some quilt ideas for yourself!
