Spring Break 2013
When I started working with the grey fabrics, in my head was a title of "Fewer Than Fifty."
As I got into the work and I realized that the blocks were deeply connected to what is going on in my life, it changed to "Scattered and Floating,"
The photo to the right shows its current state. It is now called "Spring Break 2013." Slowly, it is coming together, again emblematic of my present life.
To those who have walked with me on my present difficult journey, I am so grateful. Your helpful comments of support have meant so much.
I know there are those who really don't want to hear about this unexpected turn that my life has taken and are annoyed that I write about it. Frankly, I, too, wish I didn't have this topic, and I'll be far happier than you when it it is all resolved and I can get back to more cheerful subjects.

I see this as a metaphor for how you will, in time, create a unified whole from the scattered, disconnected parts you see in your future. It will come together and you will feel whole again. I know you know this, but the journey is still a painful process.
God bless you!
I love how you resolved the setting of these blocks and I especially love the little bits, like the hourglass floating in there too.....good job!
As for your comments about what's going on in your life, how could anyone complain? I don't doubt that you are helping others who read your blog - if not with the same concerns, then in pointing the way to handle real keep-you-awake-at-night worries with true grace and open eyes for the future.
See you next month!
I have been negligent in commenting. Not because I don't care but because I have no words of wisdom or suggestions of how you might find peace. For me, the dignity and grace you have shown in this difficult situation has been inspiring. I truly hope you find some measure of comfort in the knowledge that you are in the thoughts and prayers of so many.
now I was thinking how is she going to set those scattered blocks and look at you go, you've done it! you are finding order in the chaos, well done you...
