Sometimes with the "bad" its a lesson to be learned on how not to do things other times a more subtle message is being expressed. The crafting really keeps me sane and because the sort of work I do is very high key I need something of a similar level to bring me right back down to basics. I cannot just sit have to be doing something. Take care and thanks for popping by it is much appreciated. Kind regards.

He has just been having a difficult time and I just try to keep him going as best as I can. I have been stitching and reading and sleeping. Sometimes I like to work some of the background up to make the colours clearer - my eyesight is not as good as it was and I also need a new crafting light and a new sit up and beg chair/stool. My other one fell top pieces recently but when I am embroidering at my frame it keeps my back inline and I find it comfy to work for sometime like this. I will show the completed panel when it is finished. Hope you are okay. Just take it really steady catch you soon.

I try to be positive and I always have hope that things will get better when not so good but equally am grateful for what I have when things are running well. I will not be defined by my medical conditions at the end of the day - even during difficult times. We all have the propensity to develop these different conditions and a lot of it is predetermined by our genes. My crafting, cooking etc. keeps me engaged and not feeling sorry for myself but allows me to produce something positive and useful in the process. What I call a win win situation. Being allowed to "play" with the cooking, my crafting and gardening etc. gives me a chance to re-charge and to put things in perspective. In the greater scheme of things I am very blessed but I do like to try and share things around a bit. Thank you for reaching out. It has meant a lot.

Your positive attitude and your many interests - particularly your clever creativity - obviously help you to cope. Give yourself enough time to rest though as you do so much.

I hope it's not long before he can get back to his fishing to unwind. Does walking help him at all? <br /><br />Glad to hear that you have been stitching - it's so therapeutic, and the big background areas soon fill up when you haven't got to keep changing colours all the time. I look forward to seeing the finished piece.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-88691325456145220882018-03-23T03:24:23.053+00:002018-03-23T03:24:23.053+00:00I don't know that I have commented here before...I don't know that I have commented here before, but feel compelled to do so tonight. You are always such a positive person. I enjoy reading about all your interests and projects. I love to garden and collect items to enhance my home. I hope that you take good care of yourself, as you are important to a lot of people.Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336167031424659261noreply@blogger.com
