yesterday 3/26/25 was my 9-year anniversary....moved to maryland in 2016...has been a tumultuous span with 3 major surgeries, a move east, losing mom, car bit the dust....a challenge to be settled when it feels as though i've been dropped into a foreign country. plenty of events to take in but without car, totally impossible....an incarceration of sorts....
on the upside have left long winters behind, see my daughter more often, learned to enjoy crabcakes (an easy one), carefree cozy apartment living....perturbed that i've been put out to pasture while still vibrant and capable and mentally with it...downright annoying and exasperating!
to keep sane, i've been sewing up half hexies this week and the other 3 borders are ready to finish...also been planning a couple more wish projects and today making spaghetti sauce. i've also upped my bike time to 20 minutes and thinking 5 days per week gives me 100 minutes...respectable goal to keep heart healthy as long as the knees hold up....LOL
anyway, the sun is out and spring days increasing with nature's colors exploding...not a moment too soon!
Happy 9th Anniversary. I'm living in a great place but I long for somewhere that doesn't have so much traffic. Every time I imagine myself somewhere else I am reminded that I live here because I want to be around my kids. I'm glad you're daughter is close by.
ReplyDeleteWow, has it really been 9 years? Hard to fathom. I appreciate that you may be aware of the downside of things, but you always look for the positive, and count your blessings. God loves a grateful heart!
ReplyDeleteHope you find some way to get out and about more often!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful throw-back quilt pic! Time is supposed to heal all wounds....but how much time is the question!!!?
ReplyDeleteHow time flies. So much has happened in that time. Coincidentally, we moved into this house in March 2016 as well.
