Can I just tell you that I really don't think I could have had a better time if you would have put me in a chocolate cake shop with nothing but a fork, a glass of ice cold milk, and my Jersey boy for company?
Meeting a designer and having dinner with her stitching friends was just about the most wonderul evening this girl could have asked for. I wanted to stand up at one point and holler "I've waited my whole life to find you people" but I got distracted by the pasta in a jar concoction that they were delivering to another table.
(I somehow managed to eat light in preparation for my big meeting with the transplant team today, but I can guarantee you that THIS spinster will be going back for one of THOSE jars. Toot. Sweet.)
But I digress.
Like I said...I was completely overwhelmed with a feeling of belonging and appreciation for how much being a part of this thing of ours has meant to me and done for me, and it occurs to me that I just don't say it enough.
Thank you.
Navigating my life would be impossible and unbearable without you, and your love, prayers, support, encouragement, and project enablement has been a true life line for me. I have not one single solitary clue what I would do without you.
So here's hoping that your Thursday is off to a lovely start and that by day's end your needles will make you happy! Hopefully I'll be back with good news tomorrow...
Back at ya, Coni. If we don't take care of each other, who will, right?
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs, my dear.
Hoping & praying your appointment goes well today. Can speak only for myself - your words continue to sustain me through some trying times.

ReplyDeleteConi~I'm so glad you had a good time with Kurdy. Isn't she amazing? We are so lucky to have her in the Denver area, and the ability to pilot some of her classes.
