Although you may feel that you need to start over as a friend to so many of us you don't need to explain, you don't need to appease anyone, you just need to be the person that we know and care for. It is hard to reach out and say throw me a lifeline I'm drowning but as a community there are many who genuinely would not only throw the lifeline but would surround you with caring and support until you are able to dip your toe in the water and try again. <br />Please accept this as a loving reminder that we all have a responsibility to lift each other up. There is no room for negativity or demands and each and everyone of us have 'hurdles' in our lives. Some minor, some earth shattering, but we all have one thing in common we are a community that you created. So take it a step at a time and I for one am so happy you are back.

There will be times for teaching, but maybe without so much pressure. I am loving having time to let things simmer. Besides retiring from work last year, my LQS closed. No more samples, but not hurrying to finish them up, either.

I'm blessed to have my Dad who is 86 but his health is declining, so I try to spend as much time with him while I can. I've missed your blog but am excited that you have come back to it. Your work is beautiful and I've personally learned a lot from you.<br />Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12822647.post-71172735870357202242018-05-16T17:04:33.577-05:002018-05-16T17:04:33.577-05:00I really struggled with the first 3-4 months of re...I really struggled with the first 3-4 months of retirement. I was so positive it would give me all the time I wanted to quilt and design and try new techniques. The change to no specific routine threw me. I am finally adjusting ... and, yes, there was loss during that time too. I am very glad you are back on the blog and still finding joy in what you do so well.

My opinion is, if you don't like it now, do something about next election. Meanwhile, shut up and get on with life. We all don't agree and that is a good thing. Otherwise, my goodness! how boring it would be.dianakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05776809589031958084noreply@blogger.com
