I see you're tired, but I can't walk all the steps for you. You have to walk them yourself, but I will walk them with you. I see you're in pain, but I can't cry all the tears for you. You have to cry yourself, but I will cry with you. I see you want to give up, but I can't live life for you. You have to live yourself, but I will live with you. I see you're scared, but I can't die for you. You have to taste death yourself, but I will turn death into life for you.

Why does it take a tragedy to bring us together? Why do we have to experience extreme lows for us to work together with each other and forget about our differences? Why can't our need to be a part of something bigger than us start by helping the Divine in ourselves and each other? Imagine where we would be. Imagine what we would create when helping the Divine is our highest intention. Individuals. Communities. Countries. Nations. All building for the simple appreciation and love for God, for the Divine Intelligence that created this. Just imagine the ease. Imagine the grace. Just imagine.

Blood was never beautiful, it's just always been just red

I sit reading that while rotting on the bed

Was i alone in thinking that this hurt had beauty?

Is red not the color of pretty flowers and rubies?

It is, but not the same as blood

Those things hold value unlike the river that flows when you cut

All it is and all it will be is a metallic crimson flood

The way it hurts, the way it falls as you bleed

The calming allure of the wound that runs oh so deep

The sense of serenity as from the skin the blood is freed

And the sting as tears fall on to the gash as i weep

None of those things hold beauty

All it is, is someone crying with an open wound

Calling that beautiful is nothing short of cruelty

With malicious thoughts they are consumed

The hurt gives them solace

It calms them from a point of no return

What helps people get better can be ill favoured, it isnt flawless

Dont mask your petty judgement for good natured concern

Temperature Blanket Ideas & Customization

I wanted to share some of the design choices I made to customize my temperature blanket, and some stuff I didn't do but I think would be cool to see:

I chose to do the average temperature for each day. Some people choose to do the highs or lows, but I felt that the average temperature was the most representative of how the day felt.

I have a different color for every 10 degrees starting with <20-29 and ending with 90-100+. In my state it should stay within these bounds with a good degree of variability. I have cooler colors picked out for low temperatures and warmer colors for high temperatures, but all the colors fit with the aesthetic of my apartment.

I'm picking the average temperature based on what state/country I'm in for that day. So not only is the blanket tracking the temperature, but also my movements.

I am using single crochet stitches for most days and half-double crochets for special events like anniversaries and birthdays.

My blanket is 300 stitches long and I am using stitch markers every 20 stitches so that I can keep track. If I somehow add or drop a stitch I will be able to tell right away, and would only need to backtrack ~20 stitches to find the problem.

Things I'm not doing but you could!

Make a temperature blanket but for a different year. Maybe the birth year of someone important to you- this would be especially meaningful if you are planning on gifting them the blanket or want to memorialize a person's life. You can also chose an important year from your life, for example the year you turned a certain age, transitioned to a new stage in life, celebrated a milestone, got married, etc.

Chose a different location from where you are. Maybe the location of a friend or loved one (again great for gifting or memorializing), a place you would like to visit, your old hometown, or a place you visited once and loved.

Make a temperature scarf or table runner for a smaller less intimidating project.

Highlight important dates on your blanket with a unique color yarn that will stand out such as white. You could also add a unique color to your usual single crochet row (crocheting with two colors of yarn at once, one white and one temperature color), creating a row that a stands out in both size and color.

Adding borders to indicate different months.

Assign colors to temperatures based on what makes the most sense for you. For example, you have one color for every 5 degrees.

Switch your colors around and assign warm colors for cooler temperatures and cooler colors for warmer temperatures.

Get creative with the stitch or pattern that you choose. There are plenty of free patterns and less expensive one's on sites like Etsy that will allow you to create something truly unique.

I would love to hear what other people have chosen to do with their temperature blankets (or other temperature craft ideas) too!
