Thank You, God!

Today I was able to use my sewing skills to make quilt blocks for the 'First Saturday' Block-of-the-Month program at Greenbaum's.  The fun part is seeing the completed block before any of the 'club' participants! I also get to help plan the colors and fabrics which will be used in the blocks each month.

So- photos of the block? Nope! It's a secret for now! I can share a photo of my close compadré and 'secret-keeper, Maggie...

She tucked herself into my scrap-box to take a little nap while I was away helping finish kit-folding at the store.

It's gonna be a fun 'B.O.M' quilt for people to make, and today- I'm thankful to be ALIVE!

Much joy can come from simple things:

A warm kitty, and a well-pieced quilt block!

Bye for now!

What A Long Strange Trip It's Been...

Late at night

Need to Sleep

Miss my blog

Need to Write.

Chemo Brain

Makes me Forget 

Where I leave Things;

I Regret

Not knowing;

Don't Care

I forget

My Underwear!

Miles to go

And now, no job

Why am I here

I fear and Wob-

Ble in my heart-- the

Bills overwhelm and

Nothing I can do--

I cry overcome

And give this mess to You.

God, 

You came through in Cancer,

And were there during Chemo.

You took my burns in Radiation.

And you're restoring me inside.

I fall and I'm weak, and fear ill never be strong. This path up this mountain to health is so hard to climb. I know you go with me;

I know you've been there,

You've cried every tear with me-

You've named each new hair!

Thank you for hearing the pain in my soul.

It was really tough today, God...

But with You, I'm Made Whole!
