Glad you are starting a new project. It will give you joy once it is finished. (((HUGS))) xxx

nlt,
Are you doing counted cross stitch? If so, that will take your mind off of a lot of things going on around you. The patterns are so beautiful and the end results are and can be an accomplishment and something to be very proud of. Not many people take it up these days because it consumes a lot of time and energy. What patterns did you select? I'm sure they will be beautiful when you complete them. (Not only are the reading glasses necessary, but good lighting as well.)

Ntl, you are settling in and that's good. There's absolutely nothing wrong in having hope and a mix of faith in there as well. No one knows what will happen at the end of this journey, but you know yourself....you've grown and the door has opened and all you have to do is step over the threshold and the world is at your feet. Keep thinking positively and many good things will come your way.

Enjoy cross stitching!

Hi nlt

You sound so much better. You are finding peace!! I am so glad that you have found a project. I used to knit and crochet but don't have alot of time anymore.

I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you!!!

Hi Everyone!

Thank you all so much for checking in on me! I'm a little sad today, my mind started wondering. I went into a craft store to get some thread for my project & saw some wedding frames there & I started thinking about H & OW having those, so I'm trying not to think about it. I guess I'm going to have good & bad days.

I am trying to grow & have faith. I could be wrong about my feelings but I don't think that it's the end for H & myself. It could be but you just never know. It's just a feeling, I'm not always right on the feelings but who knows! I remember once several years ago, the doctors thought my Dad had a brain tumor, just about scared us all so bad. Well, I prayed really hard & when I went home to go to the doctor with them I just felt this peace & that everything was all right. My poor Dad was a basket case! Anyway, we saw the cancer doctor & he said no brain tumor & no cancer. Thank the Good Lord. So, I guess that peace I feel right now is keeping me going. I do hope I'm right I guess time will tell.

Snodderly, Yes it is counted cross stitch. I've got a magnifing glass but I think I'm going to have to get one of those little lights that you hook onto the project. The patterns I've had a long time & only made one for a gift. I decided I wanted one for me now & it's called "Summer's Remembered" by Paula Vaughan. There are two on here, one is called "Pink Ribbon" & the other one is "Blue Bonnet". It does consumes a lot of time & energy. I can crochet & get something done quickly or just see more results a little quicker, but not with cross stitch. At least I'm working on something.

I want to thank you all so much for thinking about me & also for your prayers! I know prayer works & if we can all be patient (not my strong point) but good thinks will happen.

((((HUGS))))

NLT prayers your way. I know that about once a week I break out the bread and a glass of sparking juice and have God time.

It helps me stay grounded and get into some deep convos with God.

I light the candles put on some worship songs and just have time with God!

You are doing good. I am also reading this Christian book on organization for a busy life. It talks about managing your h, managing your finances, your children, your home, your body. Good short read which is exactly what I needed to be reminded of each day.

You sound good!

For the last two years I have found that I cannot listen to the radio in the car at all. I have had to turn it off and I pray. I would turn the radio on and force myself to listen just to distract me from everything but I would get this urge to turn it off and meditate on the Word and pray.

That has helped me a lot.

Hi nlt,

Thanks for visiting my thread.

Yes, we all have some good and also some bad and sad days.

I am sure your projects will be a success. Have a nice day. (((HUGS)))

I uswed to blast KLOVE.
The "right" song always used to play.

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for checking on me. I had a moment today where I got really depressed & started to cry thinking about my H being M so soon. I just can't imagine him not thinking about me at all! How once we were so close & all of a sudden he just forgets that I ever existed. But I tried to stop that thinking & get back to doing things around here.

I'm trying to stay strong, it's not easy sometimes.

I don't listen to radio much either unless it is a talk show. I am afraid a song will come on & it will get to me.

I know last year I worked the CMA Awards & there were several songs I just lost it on. Of course I was in the beginning stages of this mess but I still don't think I could listen to them.

Thank you all for your support, I don't know what I would do without you all here for me!

((((HUGS))))

nlt:

You worked at the CMA Awards??? How cool is that????

You will have good and bad days but it does get a little easier with each passing day.
