A New Quilting Year is Upon Us!

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

I hereby declare that 2015 will be ‘my’ year for all things quilt related.  Because of some medication I started this year in August (and stopped taking in October), I lost my quilt mojo.  But, I am doing better with getting the residuals out of my system and plan to tackle 2015 with quilts and quilt projects as much as possible!  I also plan to move my sewing room out to my new studio – which won’t happen until after the beginning of January but is on my 2015 to-do list.

My one word theme for 2015 is:

JOY

Not only for me to find joy through my quilting…but it could also stand for Jesus first, others second and yourself third.  That sums up my thoughts and prayers with my quilting as well as other areas of my life.

What is YOUR word for 2015?

 


Four Year Anniversary of Living with Multiple Sclerosis

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

Today marks the four year anniversary of my MS diagnosis.  You can read about my previous yearly updates here, here, and here.

It was recently pointed out to me that whenever I wrote something about my MS, the news was always worse than the previous note.  And the previous note was worse than the note before that one.

At this point, I am inclined not to say anything because I *do* realize people turn a deaf ear (or blind eye) to news that is always bad.  Frankly, I have nothing good to say about my MS, either.

This will be my last MS anniversary post and my last post regarding living my life with MS.

MS has broken me.  But it has not broken my faith nor my relationship with the man who promised to love and cherish me, in sickness and in health.  He and I will weather this storm, with the help of God and prayers from those who pray for me.  Always with the help of God.
