Tell that to Cordelia, I'm sure SHE will understand.<BR/>I went on a retreat in a convent where they had roses, a bench on some steps and a little stone platform; and for you Inner Self to gaze, there was a little gate with a mysterious path. Your benches are the best for tranquillity.<BR/>(I have not named my Inner Self, He doesn't mind, but he tells me he'd like Cordelia and that I should make an effort to name him too!:-) )<BR/>Bless you for your lovely comments and colourful benches),<BR/>MishaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079252409451184329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27832321.post-58525007627714076922008-08-27T06:48:00.000-06:002008-08-27T06:48:00.000-06:00Good luck on your return to work.

I assume You wish to redraw and correct the problem. <BR/>Sometimes this is indeed can be attributed to the <BR/>dominate or subordinate part of the brain.<BR/><BR/>Look at the picture: Take out a ruler, Place tracing paper over the picture on a light box or over your computer. On the left side- line up the top arm with the bottom leg? measure the width of the leg with the arm? (Do not touch the slats,wonderful>) Now, do the same with the right side. If you take the time equalize the top Arms with the bottom Legs. I think you will be most surprised.<BR/><BR/>Let me know..<BR/><BR/>Sherrie RobertsQuilt knithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055441899074240808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27832321.post-6739237166375255172008-08-24T16:44:00.000-06:002008-08-24T16:44:00.000-06:00Lynn,You're being too hard on yourself.
