Thanks!
Mr. V and I spent a delightful weekend with friends celebrating their May birthdays. It is a time when we have not been traveling too much or entertaining, so we were high on anticipation of a social weekend. We have all traveled together before for this occasion and spent several wonderful visits with them. As always, we came home refreshed and happy from this pleasurable indulgence. The food was fantastic. We met some new friends. We commiserated on the lack of work and strenuous times we are going through. However, with the comfort of friends, it is what makes these strange times more tolerable.
Thank you L&S for your hospitality.
Another cause for celebration is the near completion of the art studio there. It is a shimmering beacon in the grassy expanse of their yard near the garden. I dream of days of returning there to work together with my dear friend and spin tales and creations as we have done so often in the past.
I recently attended a networking group meeting with Mr. V that was especially for the spouses of those who are looking for new work venues. It was a very positive evening focusing on the upbeat message of seeking out what it takes to survive and overcome the drastic changes that sometime face us. One exercise from the evening was to state three things aloud that you are grateful for at this moment. For me, Family, Friends, and the Faith that we will get through this. All of us have seen other major accomplishments during this phase, and there always does seem to be a reason for change.
Change is good. Bring it on.
