I am taking this time to thank you for having visited my blog over the past few months. I always enjoy your comments. My stitching is not fast and the pictures are not many, but they are shared from the heart.
It is amazing what one can learn from reading blogs. I have learned different finishes for my stitching and what new charts and designers are out there. What I have really paid attention to are the bloggers themselves and what they are actually saying. One young mother is taking care of their three young children while her husband is working out-of-state to provide for his family. A woman in Texas has her first grandchild, a sweet baby girl. In a northern Pacific state, a young mom of two adores her husband and children. In Pennsylvania, a woman, who stitches by a lake, lost her father recently. There is a young woman who has wanted so much to have a baby. She has been through IVF and is now pregnant. She shares her news on her mom's blog. There is a delightful woman in California that has a daughter and husband. Even though she dressed as a witch for Halloween she was still as cute as can be. And you can't leave out the lady from South Carolina that has a thing for beehives, but is taking time away from blogging to spend time with her husband that had been working a tiring schedule. Just last night I read about a woman's husband that lost a friend from work, leaving behind a wife and daughter. And I must mention the woman who lives in the Netherlands and loves shawls. As you know, there are countless others.
I read your words and share you joys and sorrows. You are in my thoughts and my heart throughout the day. I always look forward to visiting your blogs. Everyday I learn something new. The lesson can be stitching, family life, cooking, and what it is like outside of my own backyard. All of us through this medium have touched the lives of people we may never meet. The lesson learned is that words and pictures shared are a gift. We have encouraged, congratulated and consoled each other and for this, I give thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving
Teresa
