You're right - wallowing just makes us more miserable (ask <i>me</i> how I know!) We need to get outside and over ourselves to get over the bad patches! I love your little quilt and hope it odes well in the auction. Congratulations, again, on making the final cut.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-45877999947847155862012-10-06T17:04:23.083-07:002012-10-06T17:04:23.083-07:00Forgot to say I love your photograph of the Butter...Forgot to say I love your photograph of the Butterfly Bush.

You're right it is so easy to feel sorry for yourself. It must be so much worse if you're 97! Unlike you I do sleep, far too much in fact some days I'd love to just stay in bed. If I didn't have to look after my granddaughter after school I'm sure I'd feel like Celia.<br /><br />I'm trying to be more pro-active & have volunteered to listen to children reading in primary school. I've also volunteered to teach children to knit in another school. So hopefully I'll pull myself together & do something positive by passing on some skills to children. Might stop my whingeing & feeling sorry for myself. Take care!Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-12370989479966855092012-10-01T14:48:57.900-07:002012-10-01T14:48:57.900-07:00Thank you so very much, Jan!

We all get into these tight places and life gets to feeling so hard and we just want to pull the covers over our heads. But listen dear lady, you see it, and you also can do it. Flip those covers off and climb out with your spirit filled smile! You are so much stronger, and better than you think you are and dang, it woman you have so much love inside of you to share. I can sure feel it!Michele Bilyeuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979296861999606692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-79249861719606098172012-10-01T09:10:48.584-07:002012-10-01T09:10:48.584-07:00Your post really took me by the heart and shook me...Your post really took me by the heart and shook me up a little. I loved it. I've been hiding out in my house for weeks due to smoke from many fires in WA and asthma; that's the excuse. Truth is I'm no longer caring for my grandkids and helping with their home schooling since they all went back to public school and I'm "out of work," and after reading your post I realized I've been sitting about feeling sorry for myself instead of realizing its an opportunity for something new, many places (inside ones with A/C) need hands. You are an angel.

I have this little reminder on my refrigerator "Give thanks in all circumstances for this the will of God in Christ Jesus for you". Sometimes we forget and there is no better way to move past yourself than to give to others.

Listener to the spirit of the hills, and a giving and caring heart of your own. <br /><br />I LOVED your comment!!! <br /><br />I came up at 4 am wondering if I should delete it or not. Am I getting so lengthy and so personal that I am over sharing and people will only 'run for hills' the moment they see I have a new post? <br /><br />You give me hope that maybe I'll let this one stay!Michele Bilyeuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979296861999606692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-55652808961093695742012-10-01T03:29:25.331-07:002012-10-01T03:29:25.331-07:00Dear Songstress of the hills, I loved your post an...Dear Songstress of the hills, I loved your post and felt a knowing smile creep to my lips as only this morning I forced myself out of the house with a grumpy head and a weary soul, to honour a promise to help make small advent treats that we sell each year - so that we can buy craft items for the kids school. Within ten minutes of crafting, sharing, with hearts and hands my foul mood lifted and my soul started to feel nourished again. The world, all of a sudden, is a better place..thank you for sharing and caring. I LOVE to read your posts, your family is truely blessed to have you, with your wonderful 'take' on things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06997550353461543559noreply@blogger.com
