I got the nicest PM on Ravelry today from one of my customers — her comments just opened up my head and I wrote the following in about three minutes….Thanks, Debbie — you were my Muse today!

Well, gee. I just write what’s happening, and I’m very honored to know that people find it moving — thank you so much for your kind words!!

I’m really just starting to fully feel the awesomeness of the relief — I’ve had to drive and fly back to New York State since Sunday, and traveling always tends to consume my attention, as so many things can go wrong. I submerge my feelings in order to deal with the here and now; this makes me  great in an emergency.

THEN after it’s all over, I’ll turn things over in my head and heart and deal with them. . . Things are moving back into their normal routines, but I think we have all been reminded of how fragile and precarious our lives are in the big messy universe. One day at a time is all we get — and even that has no guarantees. Here and now. Enjoy the day. Knit as if there is no tomorrow!
