Hello gentle readers.
I think I am back… at least for the time being. The time away was not empty time but Thinking About All the Things time. All the things… including blogging. And though many things have moved off my life list… somehow blogging made the cut (although, it is very near the bottom of the list.)
I feel I am very much at a crossroads in my life with two forks laying in front of me. Change is never easy and the indecision of which path to choose is weighing heavily on my shoulders as I contemplate them. And so… rather than forge ahead… I have put myself into a bit of a holding pattern for the time being as I contemplate the future.
Worry for my son and his wife has kicked back into high gear again as well. Grief is a miserable bastard and as we near Mother’s Day it seems even more so. I would be ever so grateful if you all could keep them in your thoughts this week.
And now I need to get my Monday moving… I will be back on Wednesday with some finished objects and a new project!
I’m glad that your blog has made the cut…at least for now. I’ve missed your posts. Your son and daughter-in-law have been on my mind lately with Mother’s Day approaching. I hope they can find some peace. And I’ve been wondering how Odette is doing…Happy May Kat! I am hoping to get to some swatching today, but first I need to get myself in gear and head over to see (and feed) Talbot.
Welcome back, and I’m very glad you have decided to continue to blog for now. I’ve also been thinking about you, your son, and DiL. I probably say a little prayer (as much as I ever “pray”) at least once a week or more. I will look forward to seeing your FO and new project on Wednesday!
Glad you are back. I have been thinking of your son and his wife and you as well. Grief is never easy, but firsts are hard.
I am so glad to see you back — but please feel free to let blogging drop off the list as needed. I always enjoy seeing and hearing what you’re up to, but there are more important things in life. I’ve been keeping your son and daughter-in-law in my thoughts.
Thinking of you all x
Life can be a real bummer sometimes – hopefully you can channel The Beatles and “get bye with a little help from my friends”.
Write when you feel like it – talk about whatever you like – show us whatever you have…..we’ll enjoy/contemplate whatever you post.
Mostly we’ll be thinking of and sending love to you and your family
Welcome back. I missed your posts and am selfishly pleased that you have decided to continue. In the end, you must do what brings you joy in this space, however that looks to you. Life is too short to do otherwise.
Sending love to you and your family.
I’m glad to see you here, Kat. Mother’s Day is a loaded minefield for so many and I can only imagine your son and DIL’s dread as it approaches this year. I’ll be keeping all of you in my thoughts and hoping that there are moments of joy among the sadness of it all.
I know I don’t comment as much as I should, but I am so glad you decided to keep blogging, at least for now. I love reading your posts, and knowing your thoughts, feelings, etc. I don’t have many IRL friends, and none of them live nearby, so I treasur those online.
Take care. Grief gets all of us, one way or another, and everyone does it differently. Feel how you feel, but take care of yourself. I’ll say a special prayer for your kiddos for this coming Mother’s Day.
Welcome back, at least for now. I enjoy your posts and would miss you but you should follow your heart. Mother’s Day is a day of mixed feelings and I too have had your son and daughter-in-law on my mind. Take good care.
praying for your son and his wife! Always praying for you daily 🙂
I’ve thought about your loss quite a lot too, and will certainly keep you all in my thoughts.
