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.



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.
Jesus.
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 😉😂.

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.
ReplyDeleteJoanne, it does! It was such a blessing.
DeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer!
DeleteThinking of you.

Thanks Regine!
DeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melody, I appreciate your kind words.
