A Little Rambling

Has it really been that long since I posted on my favorite blog. Where did those months go?

I'm sitting here trying to retrace my steps. September...........

I finished up at the Farmer's Market and then sold most of my pickles at the Fall Fair, Of all the food and craft sales we have, the Fall Fair is my favorite. Pumpkins, scarecrows, apples, orange colors, harvest, people, life...............

I took in as many of the craft sales as I possibly could until I got sick in November. Barely recuperated in time to go to Toronto to spend Christmas with my son and his wife. My sister and I took the train which was nice. It has been years since I travelled by train; and I enjoyed it immensely.

I hope to never have to fly again. I hate it.

I don't SAY that I am never going to fly again though, because I know if I did, the universe would put something in my path that would leave me no other alternative. So I content myself with saying I hope to never have to do it again.

I arrived back home early in January with full-blown pneumonia which took all month to shake. The worst part of that though is that it left me no chance to catch up to myself. All the piles of paperwork - all the half-finished crafts - all the getting ready for Christmas mess - just sitting there - overwhelmingly!

So here it is - Spring! It came upon me before I even had a chance to hibernate. And I feel it.

Life is FULL. Fuller than it has been since my husband died. And I am loving it. There is nothing I wish to give up to claim more space for myself.

So I take life One Day At A Time focusing on "What's the next most important thing to do?" at the same time checking in with myself to be sure this is something I really wish to do.

And that brings me to today. Thanks to my friend down yonder for jiggling my chain and reminding me to sit myself down at my computer and let my thoughts begin to flow.

An unexamined life...............
