I also want to finish up the beads that I am using for the teeny wreaths, and will take those supplies along, too. They were a pharmacy purchase because a friend gave me a gift card to the pharmacy for my birthday. Yeah, I know, but she does stuff like that and my guess is that she thought I could buy one of my favorite chocolates there. I went to spend it just a week ago and found some cool beads for making bracelets in the toy aisle. I knew immediately what I wanted to do with them and bought three packages.
I have more of the fluffy yarn wreaths to make and have/had another ornament idea, but I cannot remember what it is.
Anyway, today is the first day in weeks and weeks and even more weeks when I have felt more hopeful about things. Nothing has really changed, but I just feel better. Even better is that I was able to walk today with less pain, and much less medication. That may account for some of my good and groovy feelings, but there must be more to it.
Whatever it is, I want to hold on to it for a long time. It just feels so wonderful to not be all sad and weepy and sad for a change.
Days of bliss I fear to be lost
And, not knowing why is the cost
Of doing the business of a life.
Brighter moments break the thrall
Of being lost and sad, and all
Those aspects that come with strife.
Holding dear the blessings of hope
I beg, will help me to cope
When the darkness returns with its knife.
