Share Four Somethings March 2026

March has been a mixed bag. We are all finally healthy (praise God), but my mom started hospice last week (terminal rare cancer), and we just found out this week another family member has cancer (I can't say more than that at this point). I am grieving my mom even though she is still here (anticipatory grief). Anyway, our prompts for the Share Four Somethings link-up for this year are: something we loved, something we are carrying forth from this month to next, something that sustained us, and some thing we are making space for.

Something Loved 

We have had a few days that were spring like this month and I have loved these hints of spring. Matt and I were able to get out and do a 3-mile hike last weekend. Then, this past Thursday was sunny and in the 70s and my boss decided we needed to take a half day so we could enjoy it. I went to the beach lake area that we like and walked around for a bit and then sat and read. It was glorious having so much outside time.

 
 

Something We Are Carrying Forth from this month to the next

Progress on a quilt. I started gathering the materials and even cutting a few pieces out for a quilt for Elijah's bed last year, before we moved. It has taken me until this month to start working on it again. I am almost done cutting all the pieces out and then I will be able to start putting it together. I hope to finish it before summer so I can work on mine and Matt's (I cut out a lot of the pieces last year, but still need to finish). I also eventually plan to do one for Kayla. We have picked most of her fabrics (I was buying stuff when JoAnn's was going out of business), but I won't worry about the rest of it until I have finished these two.

Something That Sustained Us

Some Things We Are Making Space For

I am making space for more exercise. I have been rearranging what I can in my mornings in order to be able to do something every day. Even if it is only 20 minutes. Something is better than nothing. I am also making space for more books, LOL! When I finish a book that I know I will never read again, I find a Free Little Library to donate to, and then I have space on my shelves for another book 😉😂.

  1. I am so, so sorry to read about your mom! That outside time sound lovely. This time of year I definitely try to get out whenever the weather is nice as that fresh air really does make such a difference.

  2. What a nice boss - to give you a half day...just because:) I'm sorry that March was heavy for you. So hard when someone you love moves to hospice. The waiting can be long. I am saying a prayer, just now, for you and your family.

  4. It is truly heart-wrenching to hear about your mother and the news regarding another family member. Anticipatory grief is a heavy burden to carry, and it is completely understandable that March has felt like such a mixed bag for you. I am glad you had those beautiful, spring-like days to hike and read by the lake; those moments of peace are so necessary when life feels overwhelming.
