It has been so long....<br />
<br />
Hello...(echo...hello hello hello) is anyone out there ( out there out there out there) ? lol Truth is....my life is so darn busy....and so much has been going on I kinda just didn't even know where to start but when you enjoy writing and blogging artfully....there is a nagging sense of oh man my blog.....I really gotta get back to my blog...I haven't blogged forever!!! It's driven me to the brink of madness...ok I was already there but let's go with it.....<br />
<br />
So...some things really haven't changed very much. I am working lots of hours, still taking care of my dad on the weekends and working hard to sell my SHE dolls. I also have been working on dolls as part of an online doll making class I have been taking. Danita Arts "A Doll Story" course to be exact. I just love Danita she is a hoot and such a joy to learn from. I really admire her unique dolls and what goes into them. They are hard work but they are so incredibly cool and worth it...each doll takes on a life of its own and personality as it goes from a simple pattern into a beautiful doll.<br />
<br />
I got very sick with Bronchitis and acute Sinusitis. Missed nearly a week of work...was sick with it for a month and just as I started getting better...I got it back. Two months later I am happy to say ( and knock on wood) I am feeling much better. I was probably more sick with this than I have ever been in my adult life. This has been the first time that I actually considered getting a flu shot or was angry with myself for not getting one. Everyone in my life gives me a hard time about not getting a flu shot and not a one of them skipped a beat when I got this sick however.....let me point out that ...this years flu shots have been revealed to be entirely POINTLESS. The flu that is going around has mutated and a new shot wont be available for another 3-4 months. Basically Spring so lots of good it would have done right? I once got a flu shot and it was the last time I got one. I got so sick from the shot I felt like I honestly really had the flu...it was not mild and just symptoms...I got very sick and from then forward have not wanted one. I do believe that the elderly should get one every year...it's just too hard on them to bounce back from. And so.....the holidays are right around the corner...that too has been keeping me rather busy. Thanksgiving....Happy belated Thanksgiving to you all..... however many of you are actually still reading my posts when I show up twice a blue moon :)<br />
<br />
Been working with some paper clay....very interesting stuff and the possibilities are endless. Paper mache has come a long long way from third grade when we cut newspaper in strips and dipped them into cold sticky flour and water mixture....anyone else remember doing it that way?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Artistically I find myself a bit frustrated. Frustrated with how many directions my interest go in. It keeps me from ever really being 110% in with any one medium or genre of art. My interest is not just photography and not just mixed media art or journaling...I love sculpting and blogging artfully....writing...painting...mixed media art...some graphic design, digital art, sewing, doll making, image transferring....it just doesn't stop and the problem with this is that my list of things I'd like to do or try is ever growing and each day I wake....there are no more hours added to the day. my interest I guess are scattered and I have been thinking about 2015 and where I'd like to go with it.....I think it would behoove me....ha...love that word behoove....it would behoove me...to narrow a few interest down until I am either no longer interested, or have more hours added to the day. And that is whats been going on ....and then some but nothing note worthy for this here blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes...frequency is on the list for 2015. Keep an eye out. </div>

Raise of my coffee cup to you....good day palz....hope this finds you all well. So sorry for my lack of posting but I was rather sick and yes...as always very busy. I am still getting over the last bits of a severe case of Bronchitis...feeling much better but this cough just lingers...Also been rather busy with sewing my SHE dolls, running the art group I have and all of its swaps......yawn.....and work of course...taking care of my dad on Sundays...you get the picture. Finally got out for a bit with my camera to enjoy a beautiful Fall day of Friday..had a vacation day and utilized it for a nice ride in the country to some of our favorite towns..as well as Blake's Cider Mill and one of my favorite locations The Lambs Tail. Here are a few photos from my ride in the country.<br />

I was talking with an art friend of mine and we were discussing how sometimes as an artist we both tend to go through phases...phases with colors...phases with mediums...sometimes I will get an itch to sew...and I will dew like its no ones business for weeks....get tired of it and something will get my attention...a new rubber stamp or anything really...glad I'm not alone in that...thought it was a nutty Deb thing :) This weeks top five favorite things for me happen to be sewing...been making and selling my SHE dolls like crazy lately..I cant seem to keep up with all the people who want one but luckily they all understand that I do work...and my art friends are the most patient people...shipped off about 12 of them this past weekend! Yay! Right? I've also been working on some wooden houses...I had Don cut the wood for me weeks ago but the edges were a bit rough...sanded them down and smoothed the wood out and now they are perfect!</div>

..I have been sifting through various fabric stores and scraps i have from all sorts of projects and have some of the cutest fabrics for my dolls...stoked about happy material!!! Fourth in top five fav is my favorite coffee cup..its one thing to be happy to have a great cup of coffee but i have a few favorite coffee cups that are meaningful to me for one reason or another....this particular coffee cup was from an ex supervisor who was a mentor to me in many ways...we got along very well neither of us were happy in the jobs we were in and when i told her that I found another job and would be putting in my two week notice she was so happy for me and supportive and she threw a party for me...she bought me this mug and knowing how scarred I was to take a leap of faith and leave a job I had been at for over 8 years...the cup meant a lot to me and severed as a reminder! Now it serves as a reminder of her and what a cool person she was to work for and with. Miss you Wendy! Hope you are well! :)</div>

I guess that when you get older you realize that some cliche's have been established and long standing well known because there just really is something to them. Cliche's are highly under rated honestly...it seemed to be the cool thing to dismiss anything that remotely sounded "cliche"<br />
<br />
I read that line earlier and its been stuck in my head ever since..."Take time to pause" on the publication Bella Grace....which I'm currently having a love affair with....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Incredible publication.....but that line..."Take Time To Pause"...been feeling a bit unhappy in general lately..nothing I could really place my finger on...and I'm so full of gratitude in my life for all that is well..my children are safe and sound..I love my job, I love my art group which is going very well, I am content in matters of the heart....but this line..."Take Time To Pause" I've not done this in some time. My life is always go. Go to work, Go take care of my father, go help my mom out, go here go there get up tomorrow and go again. My art sessions of late have been rushed and never long enough and it dawned on me ..I do not get a chance to pause....to really pause. To sit alone and listen to water by the lake with wind in my hair and my eyes closed..that's always soothed me....to curl up with book or my nook and have nothing to do for anyone for an entire 24 hours. I sometimes like to recharge in the sun...especially the morning sun with prayer and thanks for the day. I honestly try to never miss that...it usually takes place before the sun even comes up in the mornings before work..or on my way depending on the day...even if I know the day has potential to stink I still always thank the Lord for each and every one of them....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our camping trip a few weeks ago offered a little time to pause...but we only camped over night so it was not very long lived or enough by any means....I feel Fall coming..that could have something to do with this as well. I love Fall and all that it has to offer..it would be my favorite season of them all if I did not know what follows it and Winter is not my friend. Knowing that football season is almost here and that the winter will follow it kinda puts me in a mood of desperation to enjoy what is left of summer...but I never time....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
During the week I leave the house at 7:40-8:00 depending on the morning...it takes me close to an hour to get there and settled by the time my shift begins....I get off work at 5:30 however...my ride home from work is horrible...hour and a half at least...in rush hour bumper to bumper no one will let you in or over kinda traffic....and by the time I get home and change my closes...have a bite to eat...I'm either A. so exhausted and just want bed or have b. very little energy...when the weekend comes Friday is usually my pay bills day balance the check book, run errands for the household day...we never end up sitting down for a quiet evening until 10-11 pm on Fridays...Saturdays are sort of my only day off to relax or go to places i am interested in or take photos...and Sunday consist of taking care of my dad who isn't doing well and seeking my mom who isn't doing so great either....father lives an hour away downriver and we clean, do his shopping, pick up his prescriptions and such...and there you have it ..that is usually my week....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I need time to pause. To re-group..to breath fresh air and let worries vacate my soul...flee from me TIME has not been my friend there are so many artful projectors I want to get to so many ideas i have locked in my head for when I "have the time" ...I'm getting desperate for some "time". Taking time to pause to me is not so much about relaxing....I find time to do that watching a movie or hanging out with the kids...surfing pinterest in bed at night on my nook....taking time to pause for me is more a spiritual thing...a time with nothing to reflect...plan for what you really want to do...give thanks...take notice...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm going to make a way for more time to pause...to plan better the time I do have to accomplish things I've been wanting to do for a very long time...like get published, write more, get to some art projects that have been looming in the back of my mind....usually my artful time consist of me saying to myself..."ok Deb you have two hours tonight before you have to be in bed and you have this this and this to get in the mail this week for swaps and don't forget to send this person a card in the mail.....it is more rushed than I would prefer and that is not good for creativity....it does not allow me explore...or stumble upon new things...and so....am I just rambling? Possibly so...I am tired....very tired. Deep in thought....the phrase "Take time to pause" haunting my brain a bit...making me aware of the fact that it is ...in fact..what I need more of right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Time.</div>

Hi friends....<br />
In trying to keep my word to get better about keeping up on my blog I'm trying to at least commit to Sunday evenings...during the week its rough working so many hours doesn't leave a great deal of time in the evenings for art, art groups, family, relationship...and sanity/ sleep...lol So ...here we are ...Sunday evening. It's been a rather relaxing weekend finally...something I really needed was feeling major burnout from weeks prior being constantly on the go and busy...this weekend I stayed home aside from some small errands and of course on Sunday's I go down river and help take care of my dad....I worked on some art which was nice made four little mixed media dolls...here is an image of three of them..have another but haven't taken a photo of it yet that is decent just my sorry camera on my cell its horrible...I call these dolls "She Dolls" each one has a story...some funny some serious....like.."SHE should have been a ginger" HA that orange hair cracks me up!!<br />

Sorry about the watermark this is the only one I have to share at the time...but really having fun with these they are not meant to be perfect they are meant to be FUN!! And that they are...sloppy little messes of JOY! Funny and cute! Did these on canvas material with the image transfer technique for the faces...some of these dolls are painted and sewn and some are sew with material on top of canvas and stuffed...not stuffed tightly but slightly... so fun! That orange hair...just kills me...lol That was not the idea when doing it but I sat it down and when I came back to it and saw the hair i laughed so hard and thought...Mona Lisa gone Carrot Top...had to run with it lol<br />
<br />
Not much else is new in my life right now...just been working and working and working lol This is a good thing it aids in surviving this life....news all over the world getting me down making me sad and frustrated with the worlds lack of need for peace and rather a need for territorial ownership....its none of yours....if its not all of yours. God made it..who are you to claim it....unrealistic I know...naive I know...OR...maybe..that is how it is...that simple. Onward....it sickens me.<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out for Sunday's and if time permits I will certainly post through the week...and thanks for stopping by beautiful friends....be kind where ever you go....<I read that somewhere once..or something like it....xx<br />

Hey there friends....how are ya huh? Hope thew world is being good to you...coming to you in a summer thunderstorm kinda evening...hey did you know if you are not into the music on my page or it distracts you from reading the player is located all the way at the top up there ^ you can mute it or stop the player...I love my playlist right now cant bring myself to change it...In fact I have my blog open in another tab so I can listen lol <br />
<br />
Life has been fairly busy for me. LOVING my new job and all the people there...its a fun place to work and a great deal of information to learn but its a completely different environment than the last two jobs I had that made me miserable...the dynamics in a work place mean everything really. They mean the difference between total depression and happiness in my world...I have to actually like the people I spend every single day with and the group of folks at my new place of employment are really cool people..I'm very happy just hate the long rides to and from work its quite the drive..but it gives me time to wake up...listen to some good music or Dave and Chuck the Freak...those guys have me cracking up every morning....<br />
<br />
What else is going on in life? Well we just got back yesterday from a couple of days of camping up in the thumb (Michigan) beautiful area and we just love it there...camping can be a bit rough if you are not prepared well..getting better at that part....lol Although I did get a splinter and had nothing to dig it out with....kind camping neighbors gave me alcohol swabs and a safety pin and I did the surgery fairly quick...cried like a big baby ;) Splinters those little bastards hurt....<br />
<br />
Here are a few photos from the weekend....<br />

Hello...its been awhile...yes I know. Been a busy life for the last two months...let's see what has gone on in the last two months since my last post?<br />
<br />
Started a new job that I love! Working for a great company, in a great location, with a great team...can't beat a job where Nerf guns are mandatory and 100% encouraged! Where looking forward from my desk..there are floor to ceiling windows with forest life outside of them...I'm very happy where I am...:)<br />
<br />
Saw The Goo Goo Dolls for my ninth time! Woohoo right?! Girls bought me two tickets for my birthday and that was awesome but as the concert got closer thought I wouldn't be able to make it...started the new job and the timing was horrible...but glad we went it was a GREAT show....<br />
<br />
Been taking care of my dad on the weekends...he needs a hip and knee replacement....well into his 70's he is having a hard time getting around so on the weekend Don and I go down to his place and do his laundry, grocery shopping cleaning and pick up his prescriptions...will be a major surgery and he will need a great deal of help once that is done...<br />
<br />
Art group The Enchanted Imaginarium is alive and kicking! Thriving! Grown in numbers like crazy in the last couple of months and feeling really proud of what it has become...as of this morning there are nearly 300 members from all over the world. Group has grown to mean a great deal to me!<br />
<br />
Been enjoying summer as much as possible while working full time and even outside of work...love my flowers as always..playing with some photography....have done a few photo shoots this summer so far...loving it! And well thats about it in the last two months...really loving my gelli plates and having fun with those...been making some B Books...(bitty books)<br />

Happy Monday friends...<br />
<br />
Quick post before I have to get ready for work. I hope this finds you well...and the world is treating you good and the sun has shined on your face lately...its hit and miss here in Michigan been a pretty wet and chilly Spring but today is a beautiful day...birds singing outside my window...makes me happy!<br />
<br />
I find myself trying to find that vital balance again between work and life and work and ART. It is a struggle specially with the schedule I am on last week and this week...330pm-1130pm. Kinda takes the best hours of the day. I find myself staying up one I get off work in a rebellion to not give up art time. I just can't I grow depressed when my soul does not have that outlet. So that is where I am. My first niece got married Friday and it was a great time...so happy for her...the weekend went by so fast it didnt seen real...not the wedding just how fast the weekend passed. Been working on some little books and bonding...some swap things for me art group and trying to enjoy Spring and all the blooming taking place!<br />
<br />
Tons of photos to edit and post and hopefully this week I will get to that in my late hours of solitude and artful endeavors. Be kind to everyone and have a great week!<br />

Just experimenting with some old techniques, new mediums....<br />
<br />
Waiting for Spring to get here seems never ending. Cold and raining we a re lucky to get some peaks from the sun here and there....eager to get on with the summer and get out with my camera...<br />
<br />
Been enjoying some time with myself lately...just for treating my muse to a good book or tutorial...spending time in my studio which I have come to cherish as a sacred place in my life that is all mine; just for me to escape..to be me...to soul search.<br />
<br />
And then there is nature..which I can never get enough of..where I can get lost in the most simple things..when I find my way back to awareness...my mood has changed, I feel more at peace and calm.<br />

Those things that make me wonder how others can wonder...<br />
If there is a God.<br />
Visit a baby nursery...or a flower nursery. They are the two greatest validations for me. The complexity of a human being the complexity of a flower...the diversity of both throughout the world...the way all things work together and cant work without one another...like the pollen in this flower....being where it is purposely... with full intent doing its job...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

See it? It is no accident....nothing is accident....even the most horrible experiences in this life that may seem so crushing...they all have purpose even if the growth from the experience is painful or life changing. Losing my job was crushing and painful. It changed my life. I'm still suffering from it. But I learned some very important things that I needed to learn. I learned that people are not who they always appear to be. I learned that no amount of money is worth dealing with prime assholes who treat people horribly. I learned who and what I never want to be...It had to happen. I had to learn that I could fail at something...and that it did not mean I was an unworthy human being...because that is what failure always meant to me...and very honestly...I've never failed at anything I put my entire heart into. Now I can say I failed..and I LIVED. New doors are opening, and they will lead to more doors and that is the process of life and there really is a pre-destined plan for each life we just have no clue.....many times we step off the path and life becomes chaos..<br />
it always really will be OKAY though. It really will.<br />
<br />
We chuck so much off in this life as coincidence...when two lives cross paths...when eyes meet...not even in a romantic way but in passing on a bus...I believe all things have meaning in this life. I believe in divine timing as well....possibly more than anything. It has played such a significant role in my life in so many ways...<br />
everything in its right time.....<br />
<br />
love + pe@ce</div>

Hello folks...I hope this finds you well in one of the most glorious days of the year...Have a ham cooking, blueberry muffins smelling up the house...croissants...pasta salad, potatoes, corn...kids are coming and the sun is shining! It's a good day...I do hope you and yours are enjoying the holiday festivities if you celebrate. Been working on all sorts of goodies for some books I am making..also some tags and such..doing some stencil layering which is super cool...also been making some dolls and bunnies..will be sure to post more photos maybe one day this week...<br />
<br />
Any Game of Thrones fans out there? If so than I am sure you share my excitement about tonight's episode...let the celebrating...ops I mean funeral begin eh?! LOL Love this show...I don't get too addicted to many series and such my TV watching is usually things Animal Planet, National Geographic, Forensic Files ...things like that but this show just sucked me right in.. We shall see how Joffrey's death plays out...<br />
<br />
Nothing much else is going on this way..Kori ( my 19 year old) is currently out like a light on my bed..so proud of her shes been working so hard...just finished college and was in her internship plus working a regular job...kid would get out of a night and fall asleep in her coat but as I have told her so many times in her life...hard work does pay off...she was offered a full time position with the Dr's office she did her internship at!! Way cool she's very excited I'm very excited for her...my other daughter Sam is in nursing shcool while working full time...they are both hard workers and I'm a proud mumma!! :) So..though I wanted to hang out with her and watch movies..I know she needs this nap and she loves my bed :)<br />
Hope you have a fantastic Easter with your loved ones friends...Peace, Celebration<br />

If you are anything like me you love your Gelli plate and you are too ...addicted to it! Hey...anyone gives you a hard time about that you remind them that there are far worse things you could be addicted to! My drug of choice is the art supply store...and well...my Gelli Arts plate! Here are some ideas for things I've used those prints for...gives you a reason to pull it out and use it if you make good use of the prints right?!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A bit of a mad crazy busy week for me...interviews for jobs, dad in the hospital running back and forth an hour away every single day..Don's birthday...yikes! Felt good to just relax today! Been working on some sewing and doll making and loving the process..that is when time permits ..will post photos soon but wanted to come by and say hello! Hope life is treating you well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are a mixed media artist and have a Facebook page, love swapping and doing challenges come over to The Enchanted Imaginarium and request to join my art group there...we have an incredible group of girls there who love to share their artful journey! We have swaps, we talk about life and share ideas, products, tutorials, websites and so much more. Some of the best kinds of friendships are made there! Only a few spots open so get on over there..here is the link...this is a private group..if you are not interested in participating, if you are not an artist of some sort, please don't send a request. The group is only for members who want to be there and actively participate! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/enchantedimaginarium/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/enchantedimaginarium/</a></div>

Hello there friends...<br />
<br />
Hope this blog post finds you doing well and the world treating you fair. It has been some time since I have posted anything of substance. Life has been a bit upside down since the turn of the year. With all the bad...i take time to recognize all the good in life and realize that some things that seem horrible may just be blessings in disguise...doors closing for others to open.<br />
Looking forward to Spring if it ever reaches Michigan. Been one heck of a winter here and really cant tell you how sick I am of the cold and winter. Itching to play with my camera and get outdoors! Plant some flowers and start a garden!<br />
Been playing a big in my studio with making some hand made journals and loving my Gelli plate. So many endless possibilities with this fun printing tool! Aside from that just looking for a new job and trying to keep my head above water. My birthday is right around the corner and it sure would be nice to land a great job...<br />
Going to be vamping up this here blog in the next week or so...have some ideas and tricks up my sleeve...been doing a great deal of writing and reading as well. And so for now this is it...its getting late...but stay tuned and forgive my long absences...its just been a matter of keeping myself healthy and trying to figure out life.

Hi there...<br />
<br />
Well as for an update from the last post, I have a herniated disc in my neck...hence the pains down my arms and constant needles in my finger tips...not sure what this will mean to be physical therapy, injections or surgery...but that is where we are at as of now. Return to work on the 27th so I'm trying to relax, rest up and nurse back to well..trying to get out walking a bit it seems to help the muscles not get stiff..<br />
Here are a few things I've worked on over the past couple of days..<br />

Hello chums! Hope 2014 finds the planet turning in the right direction in your worlds! It has not been turning properly in mine but we will get to that. So many apologies for the length of time it has been since I last updated. Hope my few loyal followers are still out there...<br />
<br />
I had surgery, the holidays were a bit rough due to some complications from that surgery, a new year is upon us...I've been off work for close to five weeks at this time and while you may think that should have put me in a prefect place to blog...I have spent most of that time in a great deal of pain. I had a laproscopic hysterectomy on December 13th. The hysterectomy itself went glorious however, when they do robotic type surgeries they put the body in a very un-natural position and it is like that for close to two hours or at least mine was. When I came out...I had just what felt like some shoulder pain an pain in my neck but nothing too noteworthy...three days later and home...I could not lift my arms above my chest or turn my head one way or the other. I ended up back in the hospital was not released until Christmas Eve and since then, my entire life has been spent with having tests done, filling new prescriptions and seeing specialist. It has honestly been a nightmare. If you can imagine, without the use of your arms there are many things one cannot possibly do...this includes things like dressing, brushing hair, showering, bending to pick things up...specially with 5 incisions in your stomach and excuse how real I am...I could not even wipe my bottom and am just now starting to feel a bit better...though pain spikes to an easy 10 at any time...it just seems to be less frequent in the last two days and I'm really thankful...hence ...I am here...saying sorry for the long break between blog posts. <br />
<br />
I hope you all had a fantastic holiday and spent your Christmas with the people you love...cause that IS what it is all about. I was forced to realize this. not that I didnt already know..but I like to really throw a nice event for the holiday and cool for the kids and have a big festive event...and my body did not allow that. In fact most of Christmas Eve I spent in the hospital crying cause it was Christmas and I wanted to go home and be with my kids and then once I got here...it was impossible to really enjoy anything cause no matter how I sat, laid or moved it was horrific pain. But...with that being said...I got to be with my family..and that made it all okay...okay well not okay but better...lol<br />
<br />
I am now looking forward to returning to work next Monday providing my two tests go well tomorrow and the Dr. will release me to return. I am keeping my fingers crossed I miss work and feeling productive in a day I miss my work family and just would really like my life to get back to some sort of normal. I wont lie...the adaption to not staying up late again will be hell on me but its okay, it will all come back to me when that alarm sounds at 4:30am. lol<br />
<br />
HAPPY New year to you all...I am happy to see 2013 be gone ...long gone. It was a terrible year and while I believe in finding the positive and there certainly were some positives it was an overall difficult and tragic year for me. I lost a brother I never got to meet to suicide, my parents health was declining my father was injuries rather bad twice, broke my ankle, left a job I was at for ten years and changed careers to an entirely new career which has been challenging but rewarding in many different ways..we moved...it was just a very busy and difficult year. I look forward ot this new year though it has started out a bit nutty I do feel as though good things are coming. I dont believe in making resolutions because I think if you are truly dedicated to making changes in your life you will do it be it New Year's Eve or just some Tuesday. Right? However...I do have a bucket list and I have been able in the past year to scratch off 6 things!! YES can you believe it....one was beyond my control<i> </i>and I never got to do and will never get to do it....and that was to meet my brother Robert. It ached ..very deep in my heart to see those words on my bucket list...and know I had to scratch it off..but one day..beyond this life we will meet and I choose to believe that.<br />
<br />
And so...Debbie downer here lol Welcome to what is real life. This blog isn't all about sunshine and rainbows ..its about real life..where sometimes it rains and sometimes....huge, dangerous storms blow in...but you will find me....still standing at the end of the day..after each storm.<br />
<br />
xx More to come friends...<br />

Hello friends!! Long time no see. I apologize for that but been incredibly busy. I had to try to hurry and get all holiday related things done early because on the 13th I had a hysterectomy. I am home at least three weeks off of work right now in the healing process from the surgery. It was a bit rough and right now I find I'm having some good days and some rough days but overall the surgery went well. T<br />
Right now...I am just trying to cope with the healing process I can be very impatient and I have not had to be off work in over ten years for this length of time for anything so I feel a bit like a fish out of water...not sure what to do with myself. The days are long it seems and I cant lift, bend or do much else but walk some, sit and lay. I feel so unproductive but I know my insides need to heal well and that not doing what I'm suppose to be doing could result in severe complications. The things we take fro granted in a day....like the ability to drive or be able to go to work....the ability to just bend over to plug the Christmas tree in....I'm looking forward to being done with all of this and getting back to life.<br />
I hope your worlds are spinning in the right direction and that life is being good to you these days. Hope you are all enjoying the seasons festivities and some holiday cheer! It felt great to get all of the shopping and such done and out of the way prior to surgery so I dont have to fight the crowded stores and crazy people!<br />
And so...this is where my life has been for several weeks now. Please forgive my absence and know that my goal is to at least blog once or twice a week as time permits. Have a blessed day friends and talk to you again soon! love + hot cocoa with marshmallows ~)</div>
