Inverted (014/365)

“Much of a man's character will be found betokened in his backbone. I would rather feel your spine than your skull, whoever you are. A thin joist of a spine never yet upheld a full and noble soul.”

Herman Melville (1819-1891), U.S. author. Moby-Dick (1851), ch. 80.

HandsomeHusband has a bad back.  And lately, it has been causing him some major discomfort.  He visited the chiropractor for an adjustment tonight, then before he went to bed, he stretched out on the inversion table to help decompress his spine.  I feel so bad for him – I wish there was a way I could eliminate his pain for good.

“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.”

Herman Melville (American short-story Writer, Novelist and Poet. Best known for his novels of the sea, including his masterpiece, Moby Dick. 1819-1891)

Today I got the urge to cross-stitch.  Why?…heck if I know.  The pattern is a sweet Dutch-type design.  It is from this Ondori book I purchased at the book bazaar back in April.  I have always found cross-stitching to be rather soothing and I like watching the picture emerge from the grid pattern.  Counted cross-stitch is orderly and precise and there are grids and numbers involved.  That pleases the accounting/math geek in me!
