Not to worry it won't last long. It's beautiful, yet makes me want to be snug at home. That is exactly what I plan to do for the rest of the day. I will put something warm on for dinner, do some puttering, and maybe watch a movie. Those are are my plans anyway. We shall see since Chuck has mentioned going to see his grandmother.
Megan and I are in the last leg of school. It looks like if we buckle down we can be done in four weeks. If we work a little slower then it will be more like six weeks. We are both ready to wrap it up. I have some projects on the horizon and don't want to start them until I have more time.
Although we have some snow today the weather is changing. The bulbs are pushing up, the trees are budding, and there have been some days of sunshine. Oh, how the sunshine improved me mood and motivation. It makes me want to throw open the windows and get busy! I still have show patience as it's still early for those continuous warm days. They are coming and that gives me hope!
It has been approximately eight months since I wrote this post. I am doing much, much better. I still have my moments. Sometimes it feels down right crazy. Like recently I had my annual eye exam. I ordered my new glasses and once they were in I made an appointment to pick them up. The morning I was suppose to pick them up I had crazy anxiety about going. I actually thought about cancelling and staying home. I talked myself through it and was fine by the time I went. Unless this is something that you experience it's really hard to understand. Thankfully those moments are few and far between.
I recently told someone that when I look back to where I was a year ago I have come a long way. I still feel like I still have a ways to go, yet I feel tons better. All I can keep doing is moving forward one step at a time.
Along this journey I have found tremendous support. The blogging community is one of the best! People I have never meet and only know because they open up online to share about their life, their family, their faith and their love for home have become friends. I can't thank all of you enough who have supported me by commenting on my blog, sending me e-mails, text, and even personal notes in the mail.
I know that a gift isn't enough of a thanks, but I want to do something to show my gratitude. The above picture of the give thanks sign and the home sweet home dish towel will be part of my "I give thanks" giveaway. All you have to do is leave a comment asking to be entered. The drawing will be closed at 8 pm on Friday, April 5th. The winner will be announced no later then Monday, April 8th. I would love to give a gift to everyone who has supported me, but as you know that isn't possible. From the bottom of my heart thank you for all of your love and support.
Oh, and please leave me an e-mail address so I can get in touch with the winner. Thanks!
