2022 Happy To Be Here

 Walking through the backyard, it still smells like lilacs.  They are such a short-lived flower.  Other things that made me happy today: This morning started with an appointment for my yearly mammogram.  It is something that I avoided while the pandemic was more severe.  So I am happy that I got it done.  I am also very pleased with the person who took did the imaging.  She started off happy and joking around, made good small talk and we laughed. It was a studio day and I worked on the new Viking dress some more.  It needs straps and to be hemmed.  It doesn't look like much in the following picture, but it is so close to being complete. The lily-of-the-valleys are blooming! ☮ Currently reading: Pocketful of Miracles: Prayer, Meditations, and Affirmations to Nurture Your Spirit Every Day of the Year , Joan Borysenko.

Here is what some might consider an odd thing to be happy about; I paid some bills.  They weren't regular monthly bills and so I have been forgetting that they existed.  Now they are paid and I am happy that is DONE. For Weaving Wednesday I found the pattern and did a very small amount of weaving.  Only one repeat of the pattern and I didn't take a picture.  I'm glad I picked up the loom again and worked on it.  Every little bit is closer to done.   ☮ Currently ...
