At some point in my journey toward maturity, while my kids were still at home, I decided to take a more laid back approach to the holiday season so that I would have time to consider the reality of the season apart from the frantic activities and commercialism, etc. Time to savor the season. It is so good to hear that your surgery went well, with the added bonus of a bit more sensation in the one hand. Prayers and hopes still for you.Lindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-40065595489797273332016-12-03T21:47:28.421-05:002016-12-03T21:47:28.421-05:00Wishing you a full recovery and health and happine...Wishing you a full recovery and health and happiness in the new year!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00258818289402598414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-85413214853485683902016-12-03T20:17:06.521-05:002016-12-03T20:17:06.521-05:00I am so inspired by your determination, I know you...I am so inspired by your determination, I know you have to do what you have to do, but you've been through so much and are still positive.

And isn't frustrating when you can't do something, it's the one thing you really want to do. Enjoy the month, doodle some FMQ motifs and applique designs and you'll be already for January.MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-6105545575230616092016-12-03T08:00:57.366-05:002016-12-03T08:00:57.366-05:00I am glad to hear that you are taking time to heal...I am glad to hear that you are taking time to heal from this surgery.

Nice timing for some of your usual holiday baking. Sewing and typing will keep you busy for awhile with nice long rests included.

Practicing holding the pencils, and playing with them will work your fingers (even if you don't color anything). When I had my finger surgery (10 years ago), I had to pick up pins, etc. I was determined to be able to hand quilt again, so, I worked on an anniversary quilt for hubby (surprise for him). I'd stitch a few stitches with my injured finger, then use the other fingers, then use the injured finger again, for a few more stitches, until I could sew with it again. I now have full use and almost full bending in that finger (after just a couple of months therapy). The doc and the therapists said that my sewing was the biggest factor in my recovery. Just don't overdo anything.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-50620042899563970922016-12-02T10:28:03.668-05:002016-12-02T10:28:03.668-05:00It is a month of rest and reflection.
