Look As Migraine

OH LOOK.  Isn't this interesting??

This is about how I look when migraining.

(Sort of.)

Definitely the big eyes- everything is too much light.

Not the smile though.  I generally don't smile much either.

The hair-- oh yeah.

Love you guys.

Smurfette gone. Now What Am I Supposed to Do??

Smurfette – gone…..

Now it is just he and I again.  Everyone extraneous has moved out.  It is quiet here again, and more than that it is finally peaceful.  Peacefulness is priceless.  Don’t ever underestimate how much it is worth.

The other thing is:  It is mind boggling to enter the space around a teenager.  I never knew it could be that perplexing.  I could use lots of other words to describe the experience, but I don’t want to offend anyone.

Maybe it’s just because I’m “out of touch”?  i.e. too old to get it.  It’s sure not like any other world I’ve been in, including when I was that age, unless it really is that bad, and I just didn’t recognize it back then.  Oh my Lord.  Jesus help the teenagers get through those years!  It can make you or break you.

I think I put in my time of times these past two years.  I haven’t got too much to show for it, except for several knitting projects.  It’s really a shame, because I keep gathering fabric and patterns, and creating my own ideas for things, but not being able to accomplish them in the same time frame as before “they” came.

 I think though, that I will be making more of an effort this year to continue on my journey of dollmaking, quilt finishing, and starting on some new quilts.  Unfortunately, my cheerleaders have all passed away, so it’s up to me to motivate myself and get going on these ideas. 

Every holiday comes and goes so quickly.  If you’re not ready a year ahead of time, I say you’re not ready.  Look, it’s already past Easter, and I seriously have to solidly plan and execute Christmas projects.  I’m only 64 (!) but I think and hope I still have lots of time left to accomplish some things.  I really pray this virus stuff doesn’t cancel those plans.  I have my vaccinations.

Just want you all to know the Good Lord loves us ALL.  Don’t give up, no matter how bad it gets, because one thing I’ve learned is that whatever is going on, it Will pass.  Truly.  XXOO
