May we never forget the men and women who have given their lives to protect our freedoms.

May we honor their sacrifices and remember the courage they had to fight for our rights.

May we all say a silent prayer for them and their families left behind.

May we hope for a future where wars are not fought and our people are not lost.

This isn’t your usual post for the day.

I want to recognize all the women of the world. Young to the oldest. The various nationalities and backgrounds. Every woman.

I want to celebrate the women past and present who have fought for their rights and freedoms for all of us. I want to celebrate the women who have overcome hardships and continue to stand with all women. I want to celebrate the women who have made their lives better for themselves and find joy in everything they do.

I want to send empathy to those women who have struggled through some grief, heartbreak and loss. We all have moments that we are broken by our losses.

I want to offer compassion to the women who are suffering from doubts of their own or the doubts of others. You deserve to be proud of yourself for your accomplishments and achievements.

After saving this as a draft here are my final thoughts.

Just celebrate the women in your life. Encourage the young girls and teenagers that they can be everything they can dream. Encourage our young women that we all rise above the disadvantages that they face when they support each other.

See the journey that each woman has taken to get where she is today. See the beauty in each woman who has society telling her how she should look. Life is hard enough sometimes to have to deal with opinions that don’t matter.

Just love the women in your life for the unique qualities that they possess.

I celebrate all of the women who are no longer with me, the women who help me make it through the hard days and the women who build me up. I celebrate the young women in my life that give me love and joy, keep me on my toes and keep me moving forward. I celebrate the youngest of girls just now finding their way and with the help of the women in their lives will grow into wonderful women, too.

Scatter thoughts.

Time is flying by and it’s officially baseball and softball season. The Mister and I were able to watch Bryson and Jensen playing on two separate fields separated by a short walk. There were some hits, walks and some bases stolen during both games. I’m amazed by the technology that allows us to also view and follow along with the games when we aren’t able to attend.

I have been working on a few projects that will be delivered to Revived & Company tomorrow. I was lucky to find inspiration from a magazine I bought. After looking at the supply list, reading the instructions, following their instructions; I gathered my own list of supplies, through trial and error and a few different tries I created something that I hope allows my creativity to grow. I have to admit even as I was making these projects I was already thinking of many different ideas to make more of them.

Inspiration is a wonderful way to unleash your own creativity and to build or flip the inspiration into something of your very own. I have always tried to create from my heart. Sometimes ideas will come in the middle of the night and sometimes they come out and sometimes they are set aside.

The Mister told me the other night that he loves that I have something to fill my days, that I love to create and that I share it with others who also love my work. Got to keep that guy around for a long time.

April was filled with appointments, doctors and surgery. I want May filled with outdoor gardening, ball games and more porch sitting. We have really tried to do the “no mow May” thing to help our bugs, birds and bunnies; but, next week will be the day to mow. The lawn is looking pretty rough and I can’t wait for it to be mowed.

Next week I am hoping to get our porches cleaned and set up and hopefully the weather gets nicer. The few times I tried setting on the porch the wind sent me inside within minutes. I shouldn’t wish for future days; so, I’m going to enjoy the colder days creating, reading and just “being”. I have learned that I don’t have to work 24/7 and there’s no trophy for who works the hardest. Rest. Enjoy. Pause. Reflect. Breathe.

Last week; I spent the day with my friend, Elaine who recently lost her husband, Tim and her world has been upended by the loss of her husband and best friend.

We started on a very foggy morning and went to a local garden center, small restaurant and then a small shop for dinner supplies. Trying to find some normality in our day.

Elaine and Tim deserved many more years than what they were given. We were schoolmates and when I think of Tim I always remember that he was one of the nicer guys in our school. He had a presence about him that he had a good heart and he was just a good person. You know those people that are in your life and you just get that feeling that they are true to themselves? That was Tim. I always appreciated his posts on Facebook and that he stood for what he believed in and wasn’t afraid to say what he felt. Please send comfort, prayers and strength to Elaine.

I am not sure if I’ll be able to put my thoughts into words; but, here goes. Any person that experiences a birth or the death of someone who they love will carry that time with them until the end of their days. As women we bring another life into the world and we experience the joy with pain. As the person sitting bedside at the end of our loved ones lives we again experience pain in a totally different way.

I have sat with loved ones while they transitioned to the end of their lives and as painful as that experience was I am grateful for the time we had together.

I read something on Facebook about sorrow and joy can live in us at the same time. Without the sorrow of our people passing we would not have had the joy of them being in our lives. Somedays are harder than others; but, we have to keep our loved ones memories alive.

Even though Elaine and I’s day was filled with moments of sorrow I found joy in being with her, listening to her stories and realizing that we all need time with people we love and cherish.

Surgery on left eye was Thursday and follow-up on Friday. I now have 20/20 distance vision.

Recovery was pretty easy. No lifting for a while and I planned out some creative projects beforehand.

I am still in the stage of waking up with perfect vision and thinking I wore my glasses 👓 to bed. Weird. It was nice to actually see when the nurses wheeled me to the operating room.

My near vision has been helped by “readers” and I am able to see to create and sew.

One really interesting part is that for a few days after surgery I slept a lot more than my usual afternoon nap. The dreams I had were very vivid and also from years ago. Was it the anesthesia? Maybe. I think I am over sensitive to some drugs and I might just need to get it out of my system.

For anyone having cataract surgery I have found it was pretty much a good thing.

The anesthesiologist said that I would do better once both eyes were done and not feel so uneven. I didn’t know what he meant until I was walking to my car Friday morning and I didn’t feel off kilter. Up until both eyes were done I felt “off” and now I know what he meant.

Now back to creating, words and thoughts to my page.

Have a wonderful week and don’t let anyone steal your joy.

Just a few thoughts tonight as the river flows by my house.

We all know that our world is crazy right now. That there our people hurting. People in need. People struggling with so many things. People struggling with some of the same things we are all experiencing. Children are our most precious resource and they too are experiencing the same. Women are living or reliving their worst nightmares.

After thinking about my personal post explaining a few experiences I had outside my door; I have thought maybe I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes. Their suffering may not be visible to the world; but, their soul carries too much weight to bear.

I spent the day with my daughter, Kimberly and the contrast between what she deals with and what I dealt with at the same age is terribly different. The same for my grandchildren living in the “now” and when their parents were that age.

Life is hard. Life doesn’t come with instructions. Life is a process. Sometimes we have people in our lives that choose to disconnect from us or keep us at arms length. I have learned that I can mourn the loss and grieve the relationship; but, I am also allowed to move on in peace.

Marriages are hard. Instruction manuals are not included. There are days of sheer joy, days of contentment, love and then days where they breath wrong or put the toilet paper on backwards or forwards. There are days of sickness, pain and suffering through some tough days. Sometimes it’s as comfortable as a well worn quilt. Safe and secure in the midst of the chaos outside one’s own home. It’s being irritated with your partner; but, knowing they are the first ones you need to talk to about troubles, dreams or problems.

My words to all of you would be to keep trying. We need to share a little Grace with everyone we meet Share yourself with others. Spread a little kindness throughout your day. Find Joy even if it’s a small thing. Encourage others to be themselves. Trust your heart. Find something that makes your soul happy. Create something every day. We are all uniquely different.

I hope your day is a good one.

One week post operation and I am still very happy with the results.

I forgot to tell you a few things that I didn’t know before surgery that has been very helpful post surgery.

Two days prior to surgery I had to put drops in my eye four times a day. I made myself a little note card and set my alarm as a reminder. This was added to the other two eye drops that I use daily for glaucoma.

The day after surgery my doctor gave me a print out with 2 eyed drops and 4 weeks listed that I can check off as I use the drops.

The first week was both drops four times a day. The following weeks are one drop lessening to one drop. This made it so much easier than I was expecting. The process will overlap with the next eye and by the middle of May I will be completely finished.

I have also found that I do better not wearing my prescription glasses and only readers for up close reading. Just a reminder change your phone facial ID to your new look.

It’s been a beautiful few days here along the river and I am slowly getting back to creating in my sewing room. I am still in awe of my new vision and I wake up every morning amazed that I can see. No more fumbling for my glasses.

I found my Joy today seeing my peonies getting bigger and the Spring flowers blooming. It won’t be long until my peonies are in full bloom.

I survived my first cataract surgery. My anxiety was low and my expectations were low too.

I arrived at the hospital 45 minutes early. Perfect parking place. About 20 people at registration and I sent the Mister to the waiting room thinking it would be forever until I was called. I was called without 5 minutes and on my way to the surgery unit. I was taken directly into my room, prepped, poked and ready. About an hour later I was taken to pre-op. I was then given something that relaxed everything from my toes to the top of my head. Dr. B talked to me and I was ready for the actual surgery.

The only moment of panic I felt was when they were draping my face. Claustrophobia took hold for a moment and then I was okay. Dr. B told me each step and truthfully I felt nothing. I don’t think I would have been able to move or talk if I had wanted to.

Back in hospital room within a half hour and as soon as I dressed I was on my way home. I got home and rested. Rested as in a couple long naps.

Friday was a follow up appointment and I have 20/20 vision. My near vision isn’t perfect; but, I am very happy.

I have found that for me not wearing my old glasses is better than wearing them even with the one lens removed. Now I have 4 weeks of drops and 12 days until my next surgery.

I am so excited to be able to see that I just keep looking at everything around me.

I found my Joy the last few days in being able to see so many things that were blurred beyond recognition in the past. ❤️
