Today was the first morning in 10 days that I was able to get up--pain free! The pulled muscle has been a learning lesson and a reason to give thanks. I haven't gotten a lot done, or even wanted to try, instead I had plenty of time to reflect and focus on what is important to me. Each pain free moment is a blessing to hold on to for me. I give thanks to all who have stopped by and left encouraging words.
So what do I want to focus on? Giving. Giving inspiration , giving encouragement, giving my time, giving what ever I can to others. It's in the giving that I receive the most....that's the lesson I have learned again. It's the position in life where I want to be.
Since I am not cooking a big dinner today, I spent the morning in the sewing room. I got focused on the project on the design wall. I cut a few black strips that will go between each band (which have not been trimmed yet), just to get a general idea. I still have at least 3 more bands to make. I thought I had a good selection of fabrics, yet viewing this photo I see how heavy my stash is on medium and dark values. I need to "lighten up" some areas!
The seascape made it safely to Orlando, and Doreen and Steve love it. Long time friends are a treasure.
Happy stitching,
