I have to admit it.
Real life is not always pretty.
It can be, of course but
I've finally realized that it's not and
can't be all of the time.
Yes, our family has experienced hard times,
trials and tribulations as everyone does.
But it seems like it took me until my mama passed away
that this degree of loss can happen to my family too.
I've been trying so hard to break this feeling of doom.
But I guess I've finally realized that
grief never really goes away.
We try to live with it but sometimes,
some days,
a wave hits us and the hurt is as fresh as ever.
I think it's because of our true love
for those who have gone before us.
It's just love.
It's been almost a year now since I've posted here
but that doesn't mean I don't love sharing.
I'll share a few photos from this past year
but haven't really accomplished much...
I'm just trying to get my groove back is all!
Swimming a bit last August before closing the pool!
Making boutonnieres for our son Chase and his wife Ashley's wedding.
Junking for frames to create artwork for our home.
October....Chase and Ashley's beautiful wedding.
I actually made and sold a few faux birds nests...I loved it!
Christmas time!
Repurposing one of my mama's frames for a print that
I purchased the digital on Etsy.
I had it printed in a local print shop and framed it!
More junkin' finds!
New plants for spring.
Opened the pool this past May!
Redecorating the small guest room/office to be
ONLY an office now!
Decorating our master guest suite has been so much fun for me!
Now I'm creating a sewing room from our old den.
It will give me so much more room in the studio too!!!
This is basically my year in pictures.
I'm just plugging along and loving my precious family!
I so hope to post again soon...
Thank you so much for visiting me,
Hugs and love always,
Dawn

Thank you for the update. I think of you often. I have one of your assembled pictures on my bedroom wall. I understand your grief, as I lost my dad in 2019. He lived with us for 10 years, and at night when it is quiet, any noise brings back those memories.
Thanks so much for the update. Those of us who have also lost our parents understand the grief and the working thru it. Love to you.
Dawn, I checked several times on your blog and wondered about your absence. So glad to see this post. Life is beautiful but also very hard. I miss my parents and some special friends every day but am so thankful they were mine to love. Have a lovely fall. Sincerely, Sandy
