Okay... I started a blog!
Over the years, people have asked if I would ever start a blog. I always answered, "I don't think so." Well, I thought that maybe I should so today is a small step for me. I'll save the "Items of Interest" on www.crisscrossrow.com for important needlework announcments. I'll use the blog to share my thoughts.I never thought about Ken's Caring Bridge website as a blog, but I guess it was. I always thought of it as the means for letting everyone know how he was doing and what was going on with him. It was good for me to have a place to write, although there is a LOT that I didn't write about. Who knows... maybe I'll write a book one day.Saturday, October 25, 2008, a date I will remember because I actually posted some new merchandise on the website. It seemed very foreign to me... I've been away from it for so long. Prior to February 21, 2008, I could have walked someone through the screens, telling them everything to do, while I was in another room. I had to figure out what the site administrative password was. I had to figure out how to scan and prepare the pictures. Then I had to figure out how to upload them to the site. I has taken all morning. I just need to do it every day now.For now, I get up early every day and I tell myself I'll be okay. I have my crying jags that come out of the blue. Ken sends me messages through the songs on the radio and XM. He's quite the DJ now! I miss Ken so much, especially in the evenings and the l-o-n-g weekends. I was blessed and so fortunate to have had Ken in my life for 26 years. I learned so much from him and he is a very big part of me. He will always be with me and he is a very big part of me.I haven't stitched since May 12, 2008, while Ken was at the hospice house. I've tried to stitch several times, but I just couldn't do it. Ken was a very big part of my personal stitching and my needlework. Ken was very supportive of me and whatever I did. I'm not ready to start stitching yet because my nerves and my mind can't take it right now. Stitching is painful because it reminds me of my loss. My personal stitching will return when the time is right.For now, I'm taking baby steps to get back into my needlework business. The needlework world has been a huge support system for me. It is a very special group of people.Thanks for all of your patience and your support.Marsha
