thought she was in trouble...Ha!! Once we were all on, the dear principal saw our garden,
their sewing machines and pieces, the cat, etc. It was a great thrill.
Everyone misses school, friends, routines.
A neighbor brought us blackberries.
My son brought home vanilla ice cream.

Out of the blue, tonight....
The wicked wind of grief blew right through me..
Good morning, dear friend! Reading your posts almost always make me smile. These difficult times call for more smiling and sewing (had to get that in, of course) to help us remember the important things are the little things. ;-) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's strange how feelings can hit us so suddenly. My therapist says feel them. They are your feelings, so own them. Do what you've got to do to deal with them, and then make yourself move. Go sew, cook, walk, whatever. I'm trying to practice doing just that. Bottling them up hasn't worked in 10 years, so it's time to try something new.
ReplyDeleteAs for preaching appreciation, no need! You've got that coping skill in the bag. I loved this post. It's a great reminder that we can appreciate the people and things in our lives even when we are struggling through strong emotions.
