And, actually, as I look back on it all, I realize there are so many special moments I would have missed out on with my family if I had been in that bank instead of here at home. So THAT is my true silver lining.

Like you, I have worked here and there to help out with the household budget, but as I grew older, my health decline so drastically that walking was a struggle. So yes, I can relate with what you have shared here...but oh how wonderful to have knitting needles and in my case a spinning wheel, to help me find my balance once again. And of course, having Our Lord close by keeps it all in perspective :-0) thank you so much for sharing...

Life is funny, the things that come our way. While it is no doubt no fun at all to struggle with the ups and downs of chronic illness, I bet you can draw a line from having to give up that great job at the bank with where you are at today with your crafting business. And as a side note, those hats are stunning!!<br /><br /><br />Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988014571137161352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655853883628716730.post-77407074935906702302016-09-07T08:17:04.430-05:002016-09-07T08:17:04.430-05:00Oh Sweet Beca...

Any of us who get past the age of 25 know that it can be a struggle to transition through the seasons of life, don't we? And we all need purpose and meaning. You bless me more than words can say by telling me my work inspires you Sweet One. That's what I love so much about blogging; it connects those of us who live far away and makes us friends :-)<br />Bless You,<br />DanetteDanette Bartelmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12610193916999812047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655853883628716730.post-79433578103722716402016-09-07T08:13:31.169-05:002016-09-07T08:13:31.169-05:00Yes it certainly is Summer!
