This blog has lain fallow for more than 5 years. The last post was when I began my crazy medical journey. That journey has had too many lows and not enough highs, but I think I am finally on a path to some significant mobility again. I think I’ve resigned myself to never being able to hike any distance but, maybe someday soon, I will be able to maneuver without a walker.

With that said, the blog will have a different purpose. I will be using it to “talk to myself” about things that are going on and to congratulate myself on small things. (My BMI has gone down almost 9 points since last July–I still have a loooong way to go, but Hurrah!)

I’ll also be using this to share the things I make with my hands. I’ve learned about myself that creating things that are concrete are very important to my well-being so you will see sewing, quilting, bookbinding or wherever my fancy takes me.

So…welcome back! It’s good to be here.
