Hello, April! | 4.1.25
Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil.
– Bishop Reginald Heber
Hello dear April and welcome!
What a glorious month April is… one that ushers in the return of many things and new beginnings of others! Yes, it is a month where the outdoors beckons with days of milder weather as we transition from the “not much is growing” phase to “everything, everywhere all at once”! And I love it!
This month my “to do” list is entirely empty… as I “vaguely” talked about yesterday… I am having some health issues…specifically stomach issues and I got the phone call from the next doctor’s scheduler (yes, this is the third doctor I am seeing for this!) Yay for getting that call, but I cannot have the test until mid-August. But at least that means that we can go to Erie later this month… I figured that we would have to take a pass on that trip so maybe that is a bit of a silver lining in all this. Of course, my swallowing issue has not improved… sigh.
What I really need to focus on is catching my stitching up at a time when my brain is very unfocused. But, I sat quietly through Suzan Colón’s MedKNITation class on Friday… and while I did not learn anything new, I was reminded of many things as I sat listening to her guide us through some meditation. Her voice is the most calming, soothing voice ever… and for that hour and a half I was able to allow my mind to just focus on her voice. I am going to open the Calm app and listen to some meditations as I catch up my stitching. And once March is done, I will get April traced onto my cloth and get going on it!
The other thing that needs a tiny bit of focus is some errant weeding in my garden beds… which if I do soon, will be over and done with in short order! Then I can schedule a mulch delivery!!
So, dear April, I am hoping you do not race by like March did and that you take your time before giving way to May!
I will be back again tomorrow with some Unraveling!
