This is so
I can show
my friend
my block
that I am
w orking on.

I still haven't mastered getting pictures into email. Somewhere I have it written down the directions from my mom, but put them some where safe. Now I think it is terribly funny that I have to get directions from my mom, who is 72 so I can figure it out. That just plain makes me laugh.

I had enough energy on Thursday to finally work on some of my quilt blocks, it has been a long time. I love two color quilts and quite a while back I decided to do one for myself. I helped my dear daughter do a red and white one for a friend, and decided then to do one for myself. I love blue and white. I think it should go on my guest bed, hmmmm maybe or on my bed....maybe......not sure for sure where I will put it but I love it and that is all that counts!!!!!

So because I did sew, yesterday with the Fibro was a bit of a pain, last night couldn't sleep, so read blogs and topics on mj. So it was fun to get to catch up on a few of my friends.

I have to go figure out how to add another dear friend to my favorites. She has been taking time for herself, to sort through life. Now don't we all end up doing that. Sometimes for a day, sometimes for much longer. Life can bring such changes, sometimes we really need to take some breaths to catch up with what life has thrown us. Whether it is, you are diagnosed with Fibro like I was, some one in your family passes away, cancer hits you or a family memeber, it literally takes the breath out of you. You have to learn what your "new" normal is going to be. Your life will never be the same as it was, it can't be, you had life altering events happen, so now you have to figure out what your life is really like and what is normal for now. Sometimes you go through several new normals for a while until life settles in again. Trust me, it does settle in again. You might have a time of grieving of what use to be, I still do, but life will return.

Just keep taking one breath at a time, and live will return.
