I loved the picture of the red berries in the cracks of the sidewalk, and your description of them as beads in a necklace and ball bearings - very apt!!! <br /><br />I agree with you about the timing of holiday stuff in stores - it is hard to enjoy the moment when it feels like the next big event is rushing toward us.<br /><br />When I used to teach classes on change and transition, we taught a concept called transition deficit - for every change that has not been fully processed, it makes it much more difficult to get through the next change because the person is dealing with the new change AND the leftover processing from the last change. As you are experiencing, this can cause quite a buildup over time. I hope that some of the things you are doing in your life now are helping dig down through the deficit!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490533253436208034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-52471420971580876542018-11-06T10:21:09.648-08:002018-11-06T10:21:09.648-08:00What irony!

I love Autumn and want to savor every day of it until winter pushes itself into my life. I'm a graphic designer by trade and believe you are most definitely an artist when it comes to fabric art. Art, of all kinds, is essential to our psychological well-being. It hurt my heart to hear about all the pain you've experienced in life. Resentment is completely understandable, yet it seems to hinder heart healing the longer we hold onto it. I believe we're definitely defined by our experiences and choices we make. I also understand that everything I've experienced (good and bad) has made me who I am today. I also carry "burn scars" from my younger decisions and from the decision of others. My faith gets me through the challenging days as I believe everything happens for a reason. On a lighter note, temps are drastically changing here and there's even talk of flurries Thursday night! Cabo and I walked a couple miles today and ended our time walking home in a cold rain. I hope your week is beautifully blessed. xoxox<br />https://peripheralperceptions.wordpress.com/2018/11/05/awwwwtumn-monday/Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327150853027786634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-78503618113951405932018-11-05T13:51:31.593-08:002018-11-05T13:51:31.593-08:00Beautiful art.

I know this has been a tough year (or more), but getting back to creating, even if the studio isn't "perfect" yet (you know it never will be.) is a big step forward.

But then a friend was telling us at guild on Saturday that her family (scattered across the country) are doing Thanksgiving and Christmas together in about a week. So she has her tree up. We are doing Turkey Day this Saturday which doesn't seem right either.
