Back in the swing of things, missed ya!

I can not believe that it has almost been a year since I was on here. Here is an update:

I had a stroke in January and many seizures since last I wrote. I also fell and broke my right arm.


The good news is I am teaching myself the fine art of jewelry making. I have been making beads, wrapping beads with wire, Crocheting with wire and made a hoard of earrings. 

I took some of my crochet hats, purses and many other things down to the old Swap Meet and sold nothing. When I had my stroke I had to quit sitting around and selling nothing.

Now I am going to sell my many wares on line at Etsy. I need to get a camera first, because that is key to bring people into your shop. Fun, fun, fun!

My little dog Baby had to be put to sleep, she was probably about 112 years old we figured. She was so ready to go on over. I love her dearly. Riley, my little dog misses her very much.

This last week we are just trying to keep cool. My cast was removed last Wednesday. So I am getting it back up to par so I can start painting and jewelry making again. 

I also turned my living room into my craft and art shop. I was tired of looking for things all the time. As you can see, no wool gathers at my feet.

Father bless you all,
Barbara

ONE STEP BACK

Boy do I feel like C*&p today. I had another seizure last night. I had a busy week last week, and I think this is why. In one day I had a Dr's appointment, did some major food shopping, had a cut and die job, cooked a fabulous meal and started crocheting a purse for a dear friend of mine.  Too much.......

So now I feel like I was drug though a knot hole backwards. Not much will be accomplished today. I always try to go at the speed of light. Then God slows me down so I can focus on what is truly important. Let him lead and I can not possibly go down the wrong path. But what am I suppose to be doing by sitting here, is beyond me?

I had a mango for breakfast because anything more complicated would be more....complicated. I need to get into the shower, but know it will be a major chore and very tiring. I am so spacey that I know the book I just read, will have to be reread at another time. Welcome to my world. I know one of my lessons is to find the balance.

God loves us all and wants us to know he is right there in your heart, not in a book, church or place. Those things (as they are just things) are places for us to worship together, as a group. But every day he (or she) wants us to spend time in prayer and meditation with him personally.
