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
