Happy New Year! ? ! ???
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been looking really hard for the “Reset” button for 2021. When Covid-19 invaded our lives and everything came to a screeching halt, the world went slightly of kilter and seemingly became more so each time I checked.
So…I’m done with that. Been there…. done that…got the t-shirt…trashed it…and am ready to put this tilt-a-whirl back on track.
Today—I MADE the reset button! Couldn’t find it anywhere, so I made one of my own determination and then pushed it. Well, …in my head, I threw it on the ground and gave it a good stomp to get it going. But I made the button and am going to get back on my whirling dervish that I call life.
I’m moving a bit slower these days but am determined to get back into the saddle and working towards some exciting goals. Slow moving as I am still recovering from a bout with Cellulitis (a deep tissue infection due to a spider bite) on my lower right leg. While it has taken me nearly a month to get back to most normal day to day activities, I still cannot stand for prolonged amounts of time. Lots of breaks with my leg elevated will be a part of my daily life for a while yet. It takes a while longer to accomplish things, but I’m getting there.
The other “reset” that happened due to my Cellulitis, is that I had to postpone my trip to Quitworx in January for my Phase 2 training retreat to become a Certified Instructor. I spent a good 2 days riding that emotional rollercoaster of disappointment, frustration and tears. But, when life kicks you in the butt, ya just gotta listen. After that, your choices are to continue wallowing or pick yourself up, dust off, re-evaluate and reset your goals. And I chose the second option.
In trying to find the silver lining to all this I’ve also made the choice to hold on to a positive attitude and make the best of this curve in the road. Now, I have another year to expand my quilt portfolio, teach as many classes as I can in a classroom setting and expand my teaching experience with on-line virtual classes as I continue to work towards my certification. There will be other things that come into play throughout the year and I’m really looking forward to sharing them all with you.
And this blog…I can’t forget about this blog. I’m super excited to share with you all about this amazing and challenging journey I’ve embarked on.
I hope you’ll continue to drop by for the latest update on what is happening in my world…
I’m looking forward to seeing what the “Reset” button will bring in 2021.
Here’s to moving on! Found that “Forward” Button”
Hang on Vera! It’s forward—hooo-oooohhh!
