On the Mend

Day 320 of 365

I am on the mend–at least I am pretty sure I am. I feel my strength coming back a little each day, and though I have nowhere near the stamina I used to have for the daily chores of life, today, I managed to clean the chicken coop! It took me extra long, but I was so happy to do it. I love those chickens so much; it makes me happy to keep their coop clean.

I had some grading to do today, but I still went for a walk, practiced cello, and sewed a little. All of these things are treats to me and good for my soul, but the “sewing a little” was extra nice because I haven’t had time to sew for a long time. I love to make things out of fabric. I’m not super skilled, but I am getting better all the time.

My son always uses a grocery tote for carrying his music and rosin and pencils, so I made a bag for him out of scraps. He really liked it, but I love it. I have more scraps and hope to make myself one tomorrow.

The making helps me heal so much.
