Shabby Pink: A Day to Recharge

Sometimes you just need a day. A day to get back on track and think about your direction. A day to take stock and move forward. This is one of those days.

We've had an unusual two weeks. "A' has been in the hospital and is now recovering at Mass General. Heart surgery to fix a valve and an artery. She is recovering today and will probably be coming home later in the week? We went to Steve's (Selig) funeral yesterday. So sad to see the family he left at such a young age (71). He was so active and full of life, it's hard to believe. Spent the afternoon at the Winni Yacht Club talking to family and friends. I think the kids kept everyone smiling. David is so darn cute!! And Ella is learning about heaven and how she can't talk to Pappa Steve again. My heart goes out to the family. Watching my son, Chris, searching for Tammy in the throng of people. Giving her comfort and reminding her to "take deep breaths", etc. She always feels like she constantly has to be responsible and pushes past her feelings. She is great for Chris and I believe they complement each other.

So, on another note, I've been a bit creative in the past few days. That always feels good. I just finished a new project. Something different for me. An altered vintage suitcase! It was so much fun and it turned out beautifully. Not sure how to do the outside but am getting ideas from my YT viewers. Here's a picture of the inside. I LOVE it!
