This one is just for me: Finding Contentment

Hello :) I am back.
As the title suggest, this is a little bit different from what I have done in the past. That's okay. The contents of the video are some of the things I have been thinking a lot about recently. They are some of the things that have helped me find the courage to start creating in this way. Despite feeling like "I'm not that kind of person", or "When I am in "this" place in life, I'll become that person". While I hope you like what is here, It's okay if it's not your cup of tea. Writing my thoughts and observations down help me stay grounded and take stock of things going on in my life. At the end of the day, I think these are lessons that have been very important to me and my life. So much so that I wanted to put them here so I can look back at some of what was puzzling to me at 27. lol
Don't worry, I still knit and will made things about that :D I hope you are all well, safe, and finding your joy. Until next time :)

Thank you for putting into words these beautiful sentiments. They resonated with me. As I age I have come to the same realizations that we are content with what we have. I will replay this video over and over.

That is so sweet!

[@lucilesenseney5556]

Your words are so profound! I find joy in being in a couple of knitting groups...we share patterns, recipes, books, and laughter. Thank you for sharing your innermost thoughts.

Inspired my own reflections and a post about holding some grace for yourself. Life is not static but a series of small choices. It can shape your life but not define it.

[@HzlEyeGal]

Beautiful! You're right where you're supposed to be.

[@stephaniebardwell7104]

That was beautiful and oh so true. You are brave to put your thoughts out there. Keep on smiling!!

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much!

[@Yarnontheprairie]

Beautifully said❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathrynhatton7851]

It's good to take stock, count our blessings. We always want more, it's part of being human. It's learning to appreciate the things that are important in our lives that helps us find contentment. Bless you, and may life continue to gently unfold for you. None of us know what's in store for us. Don't rush it x

Charlotte, I have only just found your channel last week and am enjoying your posts. This one is soooo very profound in reminding us all of the good in life that we are already experiencing and some times take for granted. Thank you so so much for the beautiful reminder that you have put out here, I so appreciate it. All the very best to you, all the very best to us as we continue to navigate life and all that comes with it. BTW your makes are very beautiful! I look forward to more video content as you are so inclined to share.

[@everystitch.counts]

So glad you’re enjoying it!

Thank you for putting your feelings out there. I’ve discovered, like with my knitting, that sometimes it’s about having the project, but more often, it’s about the process. Contentment for me is learning to love the journey of my life, even the bumpy roads. When you really stop and think about it, life on this little blue planet is pretty spectacular 😊

What a beautiful video. Life goes through stages and the best thing we can do is to try and make the best out of our experiences. Like can be hard, but extremely beautiful as well. A life well lived has both bad and good. Trust me when I tell you that life is worth living. Even after losing both of my brothers, within a span of seven years I still love living, I love my life, the good and the bad, and I must continue to live for both of them, for my family, and most of all, for myself. You are exactly where you need to be at this moment of your life. Continue to find the beauty in the mundane.

Life has many ups and downs!

That Wasn't Just For You, Darling. I Bet A Few Of Us Needed That. I Did.

Hello Charlotte. Love this little video clip. The Higher Source/ God will open doors for you. Have faith. Stay Blessed with what you have. Love you beautiful lady. Love and Blessings. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘

[@everystitch.counts]

Hello again! Hope you are doing well :)

[@melaniereed3494]

Thank you Charlotte for this video, lovely footage and music. I lived in Seattle for many years (decades!) and now live in Bellingham - we are so blessed to be in these beautiful places. It is so challenging to be a young person these days... I am about 40 years older than yourself and the world is just a harder place now. I have found that doing all kinds of things with my hands supports staying focused on the inherent beauty and goodness of this life. I am happy that you have already found this truth.

[@everystitch.counts]

I’ve lived in Bellingham before. Love it up there! Working on remembering the truth everyday :)

[@charlottecalnitsky5588]

I’ve been watching your videos and somehow missed this one when it was posted. I spent most of my life having what I called itchy feet. Always wanting more, always looking for something and not even sure what it was. I’m not sure when it changed actually, but somehow I’ve fallen into myself and can say that I’m grateful in my life and though I still look to learn and move forward in the things that bring me joy, I’m finally loving the process of living now. I’ve recently turned 58 LOL…. But I feel like I’ve been in this good place for the last 10 years. Sometimes when you stop and take a breath and stop looking so hard… you find yourself right where you need to be. Restlessness doesn’t have to be a bad thing because it can move us forward and I feel like life is often a good mix of healthy ebbs and flows. I love your knits by the way! Thanks for sharing yourself with us.

[@everystitch.counts]

Definitely relate to this. Thank you for the words of encouragement :)

[@salomeelizabeth6026]

Lovely video, and footage ..

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you! You too!

Hello from Mounds, Illinois.

[@juliamorrisey5541]

I think remote work, while offering many work opportunities, has also isolated a lot of people. I am retired and live alone and I find that I put more effort into staying in touch with friends and family as I have lost the social connection and interaction of working in an office and seeing co-workers and clients 5 days a week. I like my alone time but miss that interaction. The video was beautiful and Lady looks to be a great companion. Our family dog growing up was named Lady, for 'Lady and the Tramp'. Your videos are very thoughtful with great detail about your projects.

[@everystitch.counts]

I agree. It’s a hard balance to find. Still figuring it out.

Hi Charlotte, I'm 61, and this reminded me so much of myself at exactly 27, having quite the same thoughts and feelings. My life journey went so much different than I ever imagined or wished for as a child and also in my teens and twenties and if someone would have told me back then what my path would look like I would have said "No way, I don't want that". But now, looking back so many years later, I clearly see that every single phase was a necessary building block to where I'm at now, feeling blessed beyond measure. Now I see that I would have never come to that place would my life have taken the course I wished for when I was young. So I can only encourage you to "trust the process" - if your heart is in the right place, you will be "carried through" and find more fulfillment than you could ever imagine.

[@everystitch.counts]

I know I’m going to blink and life will be halfway done! Trying to savor every moment.

[@rachelmitchell2144]

Thanks for the reminder we need sometimes. 💚🧶

[@everystitch.counts]

Yes we do
