Long time, no post
I'm posting for the first time since my father's death the first of June. It's been a quiet summer. To be honest, I've hardly been on LJ at all. I miss my dad but feel like I'm beginning to regain my equilibrium and with it, a different sense of myself. I've been staying active, eating right and keeping off the 180 pounds I lost. Life is so much better now.
BBM and I put in a big garden for the first time this spring and that's required a lot of work, something I find very comforting, perhaps because my dad always had a huge, beautiful garden and it reminds me of him. Our bees are doing well and my jewelry business is gradually picking back up after two killer slow years. Creatively, apart from the aforementioned jewelry work, I've been sewing a lot and writing a little.
Big hugs to maureen and bigbadjayne who have helped keep me going. You guys rock!
