Learning to crochet and misc thoughts

A couple weeks ago, a coworker taught myself and a friend how to crochet. We used a half hour from our mornings before officially starting work to learn. He took time out of his day to teach us, which was super nice. I started with learning how to tie a knot. Okay so you are suppose to learn this when you are five. Well it's not really that type of knot, it seems. Take the yarn and pull both ends but don't wrap around and pull like you would your shoe making bunny ears. Easy as cake after he showed me at least 7 times and I myself tried and practiced for... yes 15 times for something very easy. Next, we learned how to do the chain. I was planning on making a scarf with my yellow yarn and was determined to learn, so I watched youtube videos, threw my yarn at the wall and then maybe cursed a little and kept trying. the chain had to yarn over(take yarn over hook facing away from you) and pull through that main knot you made when you started. Keep doing this route, till you have a number of chains to satisfy either a hat or a scarf. Once you have those, I would say go back to teacher, read a book, watch the how-to videos, or take a break haha! No trust me, because your crochet hands have to be relaxed before you start a project anyhow. After that, loop, wrap around and slip through knot. first time projects won't look like masterpieces, just see mine (picture below), but don't give up! I could even make a quilt or try one day, that's the spirit. I took up crocheting as a useful thing to learn, and then it's also something to accomplish. A lot has been on my mind lately, with work, family, friends, etc, and crocheting just may make me an old lady, but I figure it's much more fun to try something new. I dislike fighting with people, and being a newbie, but I think it's all about a learning curve and being honest with people you care about even if it's difficult to do so. I also believe when we do things we love, we forget about the things that bother us, stress us out, or make us crazy at least temporarily. Some thing in the mind, may be so overpowering that reading, crochet, or things that require our attention may not work. I submit my confessions and worries to the Lord and often I feel like he doesn't hear me, but I have to remind myself he does hear my prayers. I think at the same time, there are things such as watching tv, eating junk food, which fosters more of that bad thinking and thoughts that we let control our minds, but often all we need is a funny movie, a good book, a nice bath, and a friendly phone call to brighten the day. Usually spending money and going out should solve things, but when all else goes to hell, share something, bring something, and bring joy to someone else, it will definitely warm your heart. Yesterday, when I bought my aunt yogurt I loved to hear her laugh, and smile, such a good feeling, and eating yummy yogurt, the best. If messing with yarn doesn't work or any of these things, leave the apartment, or living space, and start something different.
