Mistletoe

I didn’t think I could do this. It was a lot of pushing and tugging but I did it! Dare I say, it makes me joyful!

I had someone ask how I find joy when something is wrong. Today, my feet hurt and we were going to Walmart which isn’t my favorite place to shop but I was with Anna and my friend. I walked in, took a moment to ground; focus on sounds and sights around me and the peopleContinue reading “Finding Joy”

Memories

I wrote this nine years ago. Happy and sad moment. I went outside and talked to my adopted mom over our gate and made plans for tomorrow. I made me miss my mom or, more likely, the person I wish she had been. When they moved here she told me she wouldn’t live close toContinue reading “Memories”

Goals

I am on google and my husband has no idea what I am excited about and that made me realized I need to set solid goal and , even if I think it is silly, I need a dream board. I have a small cork board I can use. I want to be making moneyContinue reading “Goals”

Fourth of July Quilt

I finished this today. It reminds me of a summer road trip. I like the way it came out. It will be off to the quilter tomorrow. Brings me joy! There is a special feeling of accomplishment when I send a quilt to the quilter. The last quilt I made for my bio mom, sheContinue reading “Fourth of July Quilt”

Joyful Quilts

I came home and my husband wasn’t feeling good (barking dogs and such) so spent the day in bed. I took it as a chance to take the day and finish the fourth of July quilt and then iron the star and moon. It turned out to have two stains but I’m going to haveContinue reading “Joyful Quilts”

Life and Death

I got to have lunch with my mom by love. She didn’t know who I was until she touched my hand. She then smiled just a little. I helped her get food on her spoon. It was gentle, soft and beautiful in a way. The process of life and death. She is being cared forContinue reading “Life and Death”

Progress but loves needed

I made progress on moving furniture today. Sadly, one piece is too water damaged to second hand. We have a roof leak that defies fixing. Everything will now be in plastic boxes. Tigger feels there was not enough cuddles today so he took my lap. I’m too tired to argue and he always brings meContinue reading “Progress but loves needed”

The Ones We Marry

I read once we become involved with people most like the parent we had the most trouble with if we aren’t healed. And, once we heal, it can put great strain on our relationship if the partner sees no issue with their behavior towards us. I am there. My husband is disabled. The women heContinue reading “The Ones We Marry”

Tough Night

Feeling profoundly overwhelmed tonight. What I do is never enough. Flashbacks to bio mom. Need to get a handle here. I’m sore and tired and half hungry but don’t have the energy to cook something. I need to focus on the journey I am on and the the end date of October 1st. I haveContinue reading “Tough Night”
