Its been an eye opening 24 hours for me
in my former crafting life I was a scrapbooker
I was a member of 2 sites, and made some wonderful online
friendships that have since moved over to Facebook
yesterday a lady who was also on one of those sites
posted on her facebook page that her beloved daughter
had passed away from Cancer,
she was 13 years old.
I have also reconnected with another friend
only to find that she had just spent 12 months
fighting for her life, and it appears that she has
WON her battle with Breast Cancer,
this lady is my age, 41....
It got me thinking, life is way to short
so my priorities are changing.
I am a very anal organised person, if I know
we have visitors coming, I will clean the house,
even if I cleaned it the day before.
I have to make my bed everyday
I cannot stand clothes on the floor
I used to stress with blogging, why
didn't anyone comment on my posts,
who cares if no one comments, I know
people are reading, I see it in my stats
its OK to not comment
so from today
I will try to just go with the flow, if I don't have the
exact ingredient the recipe calls for
I will try to wing it.
Really who cares if the bed isn't made (i do)
and there are dishes in the sink.....
my priority from today is
to ensure my children and husband are
happy and content,
to play more games
to spend more time with those I love
to dance in the rain
to just have FUN.
Cancer Sucks,
it really SUCKS
in amongst all of that I have stitched the second block
of Tail Feathers, and I am now starting the 3rd.
block 2
and blocks 1 & 2 together
I have prepped 16 Japanese Jane blocks,
all applique blocks as we are going on a wee break next
week, 4 days of no phone calls, no routine,
just 4 days of relaxing, swimming and stitching
not travelling to far as DH needs to be able to get home if
there are any major drama's at work
