I am just 'quiet'. I don't want to give the impression that I am all doom and gloom. When I visited my friend a few weeks ago for the last time - we said all the things we wanted to say, and she made me promise to live each day to the full (which I have been doing for a number of years) and to keep crafting - so I shall of course.<br /><br />At the moment I am spending each day doing lots of physical activities in the garden until I am fit to drop - it lifts the heart and takes your mind off things, and lets you sleep at night. This weekend I have spring cleaned the chicken run and house:today I have dug up plants to move, created a path, painted some raised beds, and now after a shower I am fit to drop - but not until I have cooked a lovely roast dinner.<br /><br />This afternoon I will think lovely thoughts of my friend whilst looking out at the garden I have created for her over the past month.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243672302584272760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159837414417397085.post-53048962153877906402011-10-15T15:14:32.533-07:002011-10-15T15:14:32.533-07:00Hi Lottie, I'm sure you're absolutely righ...Hi Lottie, I'm sure you're absolutely right, just because she is no longer here in life doesn't mean she's gone away. She will be looking down on you from afar and probably waiting to see what you are going to create with those fantastic goodies that you've just received.<br /><br />I know it's hard, but you have to look back on the good times, the laughs, the wonderful creations you made, swapped and received. You know she wouldn't want you to be sad for her, she was such a happy, thoughtful, giving individual who never felt sorry for herself.<br /><br />Take care, try to find a smile - Sam xxxxxxxsam21skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06817151212029182312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159837414417397085.post-54562985425776850802011-10-15T15:00:55.725-07:002011-10-15T15:00:55.725-07:00Receiving something from Pat has to be one of the ...Receiving something from Pat has to be one of the joys of life!
