Sunday Spring News

Another glorious, sunny day (three in a row, I think). Can't believe it's been nearly two years since I've written here. Thought I'd posted not too long ago -- maybe forgot to post it?

Since my last post, my life has taken another 180o turn. I've grown out of most of my grief, although physical pain is now my constant companion. Some would say, including my dr, that my grief has found a new path. The good thing about physical pain (can't believe I wrote that!) is that with a little effort and some medicine, it is more tolerable. At least, I couldn't find anything that worked to alleviate my grief -- except, perhaps time.

I've adopted a US Soldier who's in Iraq right now. Wonderful way to get out of thinking about myself and trying to do for someone else.

My only living sister (I had two others who died) is now battling cancer. She was always kinda cranky, although very, very good hearted. She'd be nice to you, do something nice for you, and nearly spoil the act by saying something mean. Now, she's NICE ALL THE TIME! Both wonderful and a little disconcerting. Like waiting for the other shoe to drop and feeling guilty about thinking that. Ain't relationships grand?

Well, gotta run. Want to get sewing -- oh, yeah, I'm sewing more these days, and for others. It's a wonderful feeling to finish something and know the person you'll be giving it to really likes it!
