I began to miss you and I felt that wonderful stirring need to at least take a few minutes to thank all of you for helping me through all of this with your wonderful and loving comments. I wanted to feel like visiting with old friends...and new! I want to blog! I want to take pictures, and buy my pumpkins and bake cookies for later frosting and do all the things that I normally do this time of year...but...although I am just not up to it as yet, the fact that I am feeling the need to tell you this, and feeling that wonderful "need and desire" to DO things...is just so good! SO good! YOUR comments made me feel like this!
I bought this little witch from a crafter on ebay before I had my operation. Tiny wooden buttons on her boots and her little face is all needle sculpted. I added several of these wonderful Halloween things to my Fall collection this year...isn't she cute? Well...you know what I mean by cute...:):) Lucy's Lazy Daze Primitives is the talented woman who does these. Just wait until you see a couple of other creations she has made. I add a few things each year...It has been a very rough couple of weeks...not too much mattered except to escape the pain. A few extra bumps sent me back to emergency, but I slid under the garden gate on that one and I am doing fine. :) I have so much catching up to do...so many visits to make! Isn't it wonderful?
Blogging...what a joyful thing it is!
I am sending you my heartfelt thanks, love, and hugs! ...

Dear Mona, I am so sorry you have been having these health issues. So many challenges and trials, it's NO fun I know. Even though we don't know each other, my heart goes out to you. I have faced many health challenges and having surgery on Tues. Yours sounds very serious. They had to cut a foot out of my Dad's colon. I wish you well, I wish you health and happiness. Hoping that you return to very good health soon. Give you body time to heal. Love your blog, Get Well Soon!!!
ReplyDeleteHeartfelt post. Hope you are feeling better each and every day. Your little rocking chair friend is so cute.

Hi Mona. I am so happy to hear you are up and about. I was thinking about you these last few weeks and was wondering how you have been doing. Please take care and I hope you can start your fall cooking soon.
ReplyDeleteMany, many hugs, Sue
P.S. It is finally Fall in my neck of the woods. Woo hoo. I am making a stew for dinner tonight. For me making a stew is my way of welcoming Fall.
It's so good to hear your voice, Dear Friend!!
ReplyDeleteJust the "Want-To" of a thing is primary to the doing and the enjoying.
I love to think of your sliding under the garden gate, and look forward to the day that the gate is wide open into the sunshine and the Autumn, and you walk out, clear and whole, to embrace the day.
Stay well, Sweetpea, and let us hear of your progress.

ReplyDeleteHello sweet lady. I'm so glad your OK and feeling up to blogging again. You were greatly missed. I thought of you often and prayed for your recovery. I've been offline 5.5 days due to the floods here in the Ozarks and am overwhelmed trying to catch up....I can only imagine how you feel. Take care of yourself and keep the good news coming our way.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and many, many blessings!!!
Sorry you are going through all of this!! That Witch is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteHello Mona~ I came by to see how you're doing....I'm going to take it as a wonderful sign, you're wanting to get back to blogging. I hope your time away will give you opportunity to curl up with a good magazine and something chocolaty good.
ReplyDeleteMy niece says it's still pretty hot in Riverside, so stay cool too.
I also want to thank you for coming by my humble blog and leaving such a sweet comment.
It touches my heart that you'd make a point of coming by when you haven't been feeling well.
I'll check back soon. :)
Sweet wishes,
Sara
As we get older, we heal with less efficiency, unfortunately! Glad that you felt well enough to post this when your computer called you to do so.
ReplyDeleteLove the witch!
Mona, I hope each day finds you stronger!
ReplyDeleteGood health is a gift so many take for granted..
Prayers for your continued recovery!
Your witch is adorable!
