What is that old saying about the road to Hell being paved with good intentions? Lately I've been feeling like my intentions and I have been on a very slippery and perilous slope... over looking a deep, deep canyon... out in the middle of nowhere! With no one around to offer assistance should I actually lose my footing. Ever feel like that?
I can count off some of the contributing factors. Its Summer for starters... always a time of low energy for me. As usual in Florida.. its hotter than Hell and ten times more HUMID!! (And August isn't even here yet.... Ancient Mothers give me strength to make it through the next two months!) My mother's dementia is progressing in that bizarre downward spiral that I've seen so many times before. I've been blessed to have grown up around a lot of elderly folks. Their wisdom and humor have taught me numerous wonderful lessons. But I've also witnessed the degradation of many of their physical and mental states of being. That also taught me much.... but the learning curve is a real bitch!!!
Anyway, I feel as if I can't find the time to do most of the things that I want to do! And that's starting to get a bit depressing. But... I know the time will come when I'll be able. Right now, I figure I'm in the process of gathering tools and supplies. As for the sewing aspect.... that machine will get dug out of the closet at the "right" time. I'm finding patterns that I like.... and Heaven knows I have enough fabric around here!! hahaha My vintage hat collection is shaping up nicely and I've come across some nice accessories the last couple of years. Though I still want to acquire some of the old cats eye frames. (I just loved my Aunt Mae's! Ahh, those were the days.)
