It was just an ordinary day.
All of my days, lately, seem to move into another
without much fanfare.
I showered; padded down the hallway …
turned the radio on, put 8 eggs on the stove to hard-boil … and changed the
color of my nail polish before getting back to work on my mitt’s design,
started yesterday:

I hope to have them completed tomorrow 😊.
Normally, I would work on them straight through
the night if need be to get them done (new original designs always gets me
too excited to knock off work early in the crafting process) – but my leg
is still not 100%, and I need to pace myself a little wiser so I don’t screw up
my healing process.
So, now, I sit and work on my design for an hour …
then, I get up and move around for a bit to relieve that sciatic nerve and keep
my leg/foot from cramping.
I hope I can get out walking at some point during
the upcoming week, when the rain slacks off. I am glad to be losing weight (and
noticeably, too), but I need to tone my thighs. It will take time to
work back up to the milage I was walking before my leg went bum, but I’m
slowly working back into my walking routine.
In this also, I am learning to pace myself.
I am not used to being reined in … so it’s
another ‘adjustment’.
Anyway …
I was listening to the radio, working my design
out and jotting notations down as the work progressed; when a particular song
came on and my thoughts took me to a place in time, when every once in a while,
Bob would come dancing into the room – grinning, and wiggling his eyebrows at
me … and I join him while we laughed and cavorted with each other to the
backbeat of the music filling our surroundings.
I really miss those spontaneous moments.
And I knew I couldn’t entertain those
thoughts too long without being sucked under.
This was a good time to stop where I was in my
unfolding design, until tomorrow.
I also had to shell the hard-boiled eggs and put
them in the ‘fridge.
And wouldn’t you know it: when I
logged into FB … someone had posted a video of a couple dancing in their living
room!

Obviously, I was not going to be able to get away
from those triggered memories; so, I just rode the wave until it played itself
out.
I am grateful for the memories: I was loved, and loved deeply by a good man who was faithful to me and our marriage.
I had joy … I still have joy.
I am grateful I am finding enjoyment in designing/crafting, again.
Designing and crafting brings me joy.
I don’t need a lot to have a happy life 😉
