Haven’t really been sleeping well so I’m not sure I can pull my thoughts together.  I’m not stressing at night about the wedding, but I think I am more keyed up than I realize.  We’re on the countdown now!

Yesterday, we had to have the little imp try on his tux so his auntie could do the alterations needed.  This all occurred while she was working and he refused an help getting everything on.  What do you think?

He won’t get away with no help on the big day. 

I have to say a big thank you to Susan!  I won her bloggyversary drawing and yesterday I got this in the mail!

Every knitter needs a little journal to stick in her knitting bag and I am due for a new one so that is where this will go.  I love, love, love journals so I will enjoy this one a lot.  Thanks so much, Susan!

Today I had an interesting experience.  I had to revisit a very painful part of my life.  Looking back, I can see some very good things coming out of it, but it was difficult at the moment.  You know what is good about having to go back and face something that is very hard to look at?  You can measure whether there has been healing in the time that has passed.  I was happy to see that I have indeed made a lot of progress in my emotions and I found some very good thoughts buried in the midst of the pain.  I have worked hard to get to this place, still haven’t “arrived” but am definitely on my way.  I don’t like circumstances to dictate my feelings, but they often do.  It’s nice to know I am at peace and to know, also, that I have good friends around me.  Tonight, I rest in the gratitude of that as I continue to sort through my thoughts and emotions so I can actually journal (somewhere else) what is going on inside me.  It’s like the thoughts are floating around in my head and I need to grab them and put them together in a way that I can make sense of it all.

To end on a happy note, I got to read the little program the bride and groom put together  for the wedding and it was so sweet.  Wow, it is really something to know that your little daughter will only be living in your home for a few more days and then will embark on a whole new life….leaving us to wonder how this all happened so fast.  It didn’t really help when she said to me the other night, “You know, when I pack to leave…I will never come back to live here again.”  Even she realizes that might not have been a wise thing to say to an already emotional mom.
