Working with My Hands

One pastime from which I derive much pleasure is making things with my hands.  To take a piece of yarn and make an afghan is very satisfying.  It is amazing that a flat piece of fabric becomes a dress, or colored thread makes a beautiful picture.  After I finish making something, I take great prideContinue reading “Working with My Hands”

Pushing aside branches, I walked fifteen feet, entering a small clearing.  The ground, carpeted withContinue reading “A Woodland Sanctuary”

During our granddaughter’s dance competition, we sat in the balcony watching so many beautiful dancers. While waiting for her solos, it hit hard. The closest bathroomContinue reading “Healing What Ails Us”
