I know it has been a long time since I last posted, so much has gone on in my life I know I will never be able to catch it all up.  The biggest issues now is my health.  I have been diagnosed with severe to extreme arthritis in my lower spine and it is working its way up.  This makes it were I can only walk for very short distances and then I have to sit.  It causes severe to extreme pain.  

It is very frustrating...all the things I can no longer do.  Simple things I took for granted, like walking everywhere, cleaning my home, doing laundry, making my bed even taking a shower and washing my own hair.  

While all this is horrible and could be worse, I am very fortunate to have a wonderful family to take are of me.  I want for nothing.  I can't even imagine how I would fare if they were not here for me.  

So I sit here counting my blessings.  All the wonderful and precious things I have.  My incredible chosen family...and my wonderful daughter.  

I have been able to do a lot of crocheting and working on projects.  I will be able to concentrate on my sewing projects...all my crafting I can still do.  I am truly blessed.
