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!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
