Night Night

Not much to report. 

God has been good and most days I move through my day with with ease and grace. Our situation hasn't improved and the what-if's haunt me from time to time, but God is faithful and reminds me again and again that He's got this.

The house is quiet tonight. Hubby has hockey to ref and daughter is who-knows-where. I needed the quiet...needed an evening to just do what I wanted when I wanted and have no fear of being in someone else's way or being judged for what I was doing or wasn't doing. 

Before I went to practice and after I cleaned the house and prepared supper I made a couple of cards for our newly formed card club with our local crafters group. Each month each person creates a new greeting card that follows the theme for the month, uploads it to our Facebook page, shares a little about it, etc. Each month's theme is something for the upcoming month/season/holiday. Today I finished my card for March...I actually made two and can't decide which to upload. The theme for March is St. Patrick's or spring, but it needs to have some green goin' on. Since I don't send out St. Patty's Day cards I'll save the one with the ribbon and flowers for my daughter and son-in-law's anniversary in August since the ribbon on there is leftover from their wedding. The card club idea has been great so far. It's forcing me to get some cards made, pushing my creativity forward and getting our group talking and interacting again...all pluses in my book. 

I'm having some trouble lately with my hands and wrists...it's making things difficult for me when I practice. I'm not sure if it's carpel tunnel, arthritis or just what is going on but I sure hope I can make some changes that will turn it around soon.

It's cold tonight...

I don't usually take showers at night but I did tonight and I took my time to enjoy the warmth of the water and then I took time to moisturize every inch of me. It's getting to be that time of year when the gray, bleakness starts taking it's toll and one needs to spend some time once in a while just enjoying some basic take-care-of-me time. 

I'll be heading to bed soon but before I do I'll finish up my me-time ritual with some tennis ball therapy, stretches and deep breathing exercises. I'll sleep like a baby tonight. 

Good night...
