Permission.......

 
 
 
I'm giving myself permission......
 
 
 
 
 
 
To crochet, lots of crochet time......
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To cry, as and when I need, for as long or as little as I need, in any place, and at any time......
 
 
 
 
 
 
To laugh and enjoy life, to not feel guilty if I forget for a moment, to not always be shrouded in grief......
 
 
 
 
 
 
To indulge in a little, (or large), purchase! Rowan All Seasons Chunky.....less than a third of the price, well I couldn't not......I'm thinking Christmas already....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To start ANOTHER crochet project ;).........
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To tweak, yes tweak, not twerk, my bedroom. I know we only revamped it last year but a few little changes are needed........
 
 
 
 
 
To learn something new.....more to be revealed on this one.....
 
 
 
What are you giving yourself permission to do.......
 
 
 
Bye For Now,
 
 
Ada :) xxx
 
 
 
 
 
 
Only 30 more to go...... :) xxx

  4. To fiddle and do things just for fun, not achieve anything. Play with life. That's what I give myself permission for.

  6. You betcha. Spoil yourself and find joy. Remember too, water makes things grow. When I lost my mother I signed up for www.griefshare.org. A little daily email for a year. It really helped me, it might not be what you need, but there may be someone else out there that may find it helpful.
    Sunshine and joy...it's what she would want for you.

    Love, e

  7. Good for you, so right to take the time, just what you need I'm sure. Me I'm giving myself permission to rest and try and heal and give my body what it needs to recover while restarting my Lyme Disease treatment

  8. Sounds a very sensible attitude to me. I'm giving myself permission to let go a bit and rest my foot. I'm not finding it as easy as it sounds. Wishing you a happy weekend. x

  9. I'm so sorry for your loss, Ada. It'll take a long time to adjust and for the grief to work its way out. Surrounding yourself with family and taking comfort in things which make you happy is a fantastic attitude to have.

  10. You should do whatever you need to do whenever and however you need to right now and in time you will work out what all that needs to be and how. Someone I used to know many years ago said to me "you have to feel the feelings" and I always think those are very wise words. xx

  14. thinking of you at this sad time and know you will come through, Mum`s are so very special, I lost mine in 2006 ans still miss her so much but she had a good innings 92 years old. I can see the crochet will be comforting to do, I wonder how your children are managing as they must be missing granny too, take one day at a time and indulge yourself , cry when you need to but find things to smile about too

  15. Dear Ada, this post made me happy. We both are dealing with the loss of our Moms and I have found that I have to allow myself to do things. Sometimes I feel guilty when a time passes and I've not thought about Mom, but then I realize that is me getting back into life. Sometimes the loss hits me so hard, I lose my breath. But all in all, I am getting better each day. Sending you warm hugs and heartfelt thoughts. We will get through this.

  16. You are to be admired yet again, dear Ada, you handle everything with such compassion and grace - even yourself, which is no mean feat! We so often put ourselves last, it is wonderful to see you taking time to heal yourself and allow yourself to be creative. Finding solace in craft is a wonderful thing! Chrissie x

  18. Yes, yes, yes. Give yourself plenty of time. It is one of the most difficult things to deal with....two and a half years later, I still have a good cry once in a while. Even though my mom isnt physically here, I can feel her presence. It is a very strong feeling that I am not alone and she is right here with me. Give yourself lots of time to enjoy the things that make you happy!

  23. Glorious, Ada! Help yourself! (Fill yer boots, as my younger son would say!) It is GOOD to look after yourself, you spend all your time looking after others, you need Self Maintenance!
    (Don't forget, when you get tired of that lovely yellow cabinet, I am first on the list!!) Lxxx

  26. Hello,
    I haven't popped in for a while - life has been busy - and I'm only just reading about the sad loss of your mum. My deepest sympathy goes to you and your family at this sad, sad time. One of your comments really struck home. You don't know how to fill a mum sized hole. I lost my mum at the young age of 65 years (to cancer) 15 years ago and I'm sorry to tell you, you never fill that mum size hole, she is the only one who fills it. Having said that, cherish your beautiful memories and live your life to make her proud.
    xxBrenda
