I want to sincerely thank each of you for your wonderful words of wisdom and compassion! My time online is so limited these days, so I am sending a great big group "HUG" and "Thank You" to all of you right here on my blog.

I really appreciate the encouragement and the camaraderie from you who so clearly could also relate. I am glad you also enjoyed the analogy I used. I am sure there are die hard sailors out there who are probably gawking in disgust at my feeble attempt in using sailing terms, but hey, I try! Whateva right?
Speaking of Whateva! That's how I'm feeling right about now. I've somewhat recouped from having the wind stolen out of my sails, but am still feeling like I'm hanging out over the edge about this situation. The good news is, I've got a whole crew that also feels the same way, and we are not about to throw off the race as of yet!
It's very comforting to know there are others who also are feeling the same as me in my personal/professional life about this situation. It's even nicer knowing there are beautiful people like you out there in cyber world whom I've never met who also share in the trials and tribulations of this often very competitive race. God bless you!!!
As for finding comfort, I did call my Mom. She knew exactly what to say, as always. I love her! I also finally pulled it together and headed straight for two of my favorite stores, Carolina Pottery and Hobby Lobby. Thankfully it was a successful retail therapy adventure as I really did'nt need to strike out that day. Here's a sneak peek at a few things I picked up for something I am working on.
Pretty interesting close ups, huh? Heh heh!
Sorry to be such a tease but you'll have to come back for the reveal. I am hoping I can put it all together soon.
My deepest thanks again Yall!
Hope you each have a beautiful Friday!
Glad to hear that you are feeling better! Love the glimpses you are teasing us with. Cannot wait to see what you are up to! Retail therapy is "da bomb", isn't it?? Especially when you score big time as it looks like you did!! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it is getting a bit better! Hang in there my friend and have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWow! You really hit the jackpot, Mary, with all those great sales! I hope that retail therapy helped to lift your spirits, along with a call to your Mom. I sure wish I could call mine, even for just a minute, if only to hear her voice.
ReplyDeleteYour mantle looks very nice...fresh & green, with lots of interesting textures. Mine is very bare right now & usually stays this way till spring. Perhaps I need some retail therapy, too?
Stay healthy & happy, Honey & don't let those turkeys get you down.
Hugs,
