29-Day Giving Challenge

HI EVERYONE,
I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!
I HAVE GIVEN LOTS OF LITTLE GIFTS AND WHAT I AM NOTICING IS THAT THE MINDFULNESS IS SOMETHING I NEED TO WORK ON. I HAVE FOUND THAT LITTLE GIFTS HAVE BEGUN TO COME MY WAY AS WELL. MOSTLY BY MY HUBBY. WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IS EVER SINCE SARA - MY ONLY DAUGHER - SORT OF ATTACKED US (MY HUBBY, OLDER SON JASON, CHRIS, AND YOUNGEST SON SEAN) - MY HUBBY AND I HAVE NOT BEEN VERY SOCIAL WORK/NEIGHBORS/SOME REALTIVES - ARE OUR EXTENT OF SOCIALNESS. I AM PRAYING I FIND A WAY TO FIX THAT. I THINK THE HARD PART ABOUT SARA IS THAT - FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 10 YEARS I SAW HER AND THAT WAS AT HER GRANDFATHER'S FUNERAL IN JULY. AND I SEEM TO BE HER TRIGGER FOR HER MENTAL ILLNESS. SO I DON'T BELIEVE I'LL EVER HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP I WOULD LOVE WITH MY DAUGHTER.
SO THAT IS WHY I CROCHET/KNIT FOR BABIES/CHILDREN/WOMEN - FOR CHARITY. AND I ALSO TEACH THE GIRLS IN 3RD GRADE TO CROCHET - IT HELPS.
I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT IT IS SUNNY/BEAUTIFUL DAY HERE ON LONG ISLAND.


ENJOY YOUR DAY
GOD BLESS
SHARON W

i have major problems in my relationship with my daughter and i know firsthand how bad it feels. reaching out to other girls/women is a good way to channel some of that longing in a way that helps others and helps fill the void in my heart somewhat - sounds like maybe for you too? blessings to you and your family...Hugs, Dawn
