Rhythm

Melissa, Lori, and I finished our woven scarves today and took a celebratory picture after we had lunch.  We were all very pleased with our results.  I feel like I have too much going on right now to tackle a new hobby, but I do plan to do some more weaving in the future.  
 
I've been trying to walk as many days a week as I can in an effort to improve my overall health and wellbeing, so even though today was quite cold, I went down to the beach to get my thirty minutes in.
As usual, it was gorgeous.
 
 I have to say, as the six month mark of the end of my marriage draws near, I feel like I've found my rhythm again.  I know I may still have a hard day here and there, but I think the worst is over, and for that, I'm truly grateful.
Tomorrow, I'm taking my parents to Williamsburg for lunch to celebrate my mother's 77th birthday.  She has reached the point where she prefers experiences instead of things, and there is a restaurant there she really likes.  Life is truly good.

  2. The scarves are lovely - so pretty. Your beach pictures are pretty, but it does look cold!! Glad you feel like you've turned the corner Rose. Hoping you continue to feel settled and content. Gosh, I have not been to Williamsburg in years - bet that was a nice get-away.

    1. Thank you so much! Williamsburg is only about 40 minutes from my house but it was a great day out

  3. Not nearly so cold there as here! The lake finally froze over--very late this year--and we're having sleet, snow, freezing rain, and just about everything else that can come down from the sky. Thank goodness for wool. Glad that you are making time to walk and look after yourself.

    1. Thanks! Yes, we usually get just a few cold days at a time, which is when I try to wear all my wool knits at once!

  4. So glad to hear that you're feeling good about things. And remember, there are days when you wonder why you're married -- even in a decent marriage!
    Love your scarves. I bought a small loom last fall and haven't even unpacked it!
