Today I am pretty much focused on two things:
Letting go of my quilting stash (not too hard at this point)
Creating a plan for taking care of a friend who had broken her right arm and wrist (yes, she's a knitter and those are her hands).
It's the last one that's making me feel really emotional. It's not that I'm relating to her situation as a patient, but I think it's reminding of caring for my mother for so many years. When I love someone, knowing that they are going through emotional stress related to things out of all of our control is so hard.
Unlike that situation with my mother, I actually have a crew of friends who are all involved with coordinating efforts.
The one time I had surgery, I was living with and taken care of by a family who I was close to. They were completely there for me and I didn't have to worry about anything. I was able to let go of my control and just let it be. I realize it's not that easy for other people to do the same.
Bottom line, it's not something I can fix, I can just assist as much as I can.

it's interesting that your letting go of your quilting stash as I'm currently building my quilting stash....
Hope you are well

I'm letting mine go too. Never thought I would, but knitting has been, and will always, be my love. Sharon (Michigan)
