More and more I am having those eye opening moments where I am seeing that I'm not just "lucky". I am truly blessed, in so many ways!!
Living with fibromyalgia isnt easy. Last week I had one of my worse "flares" ever. It was hard to get out of bed... let alone function. But still, I pushed on and didnt give up. I worked through the appts in my shop, with Brittany's help. (It is nice to be just busy enough I need a paid helper... even nicer that it is my own daughter, who usually knows what I want or need before I do!) I did miss a few things I wanted to do last week... but I will make up for it this week! It really makes me appreciate the days I feel GREAT, that is for sure!!!
I was extremely thankful that my flare cleared up in time for Mother's Day weekend!! This was the first Mother's Day that Stacy was off since we moved into this house!! And of course he and the kids had big plans! (I was woken up by the smoke detectors going off, bright and early...LOL) I LOVE our "adventures"!! We also included some Mother's Day visiting in our Sunday...which was really nice.
Here are the "projects" I was working on for Mother's Day--
My Grandmother's "Picture Pot"
Let's see...
Since my last blog I have become an admin/moderator on 2 really cool FB pages--Old Structures & Interesting Places in Eastern PA... also in Central PA!! I am LOVING the fact that I get to share my photography work, and I am getting A LOT of feedback! :-) It helps that we go on TONS of "adventures"!! I am having a lot of fun with it.
Stacy and I took a sewing class together!!! It was a ton of fun too!! I have an awesome hubby to give up his Friday night to attend a class with me. Originally he wasnt going to go... but we needed 1 more person or the class was going to be canceled. Soooo... he "volunteered"! :-)
I took that opportunity to buy a new sewing machine. I am hoping to add doggy apparel to my shop sometime in the future.
I finally attended my first Bible Study at the church today! It was really nice. I was pretty nervous... since I am "new" still to the church. But I LOVE how welcoming everyone is!
I was really kind of bummed over the weekend. Not having my own mother to celebrate Mother's Day with. But over time... I have realized that God has put some pretty special ppl in my life. It is so true when they say He gives us what we need... not necessarily what we want!!
I reached out to Pastor Beth at a pretty difficult time for me. I am soooo glad she was there and "all ears"... and just as awesome as she was 5 yrs ago when I first met her! Love her!!!
I think that about sums up things lately.
I will try to get some pics posted of our "baby" ducks... which arent so small anymore. They are getting their real feathers... and growing every day! It is amazing to watch how quickly they grow!!
