My Happy Place

Has it been a particularly hard time for you lately?  Sometimes life hits hard and fast and leaves you feeling a bit wounded.  If you're not there now,  I'm truly happy for you and maybe this post will come back to you at a time when you need it.  For those of you who are at that hard point now,  I would just like to encourage you to take some time to do something that makes you smile and relax. ​

 I just lost my brother two weeks ago at  the young age of 62.  It has been a whirlwind of emotion and grief.  Losing someone is never easy,  but having the hope of knowing I will see Steve again is truly giving me the peace that has passed all my understanding and I am so grateful for it!!   My happy place of late has been doing projects.  For some reason it calms me and lets me reflect on good memories.   I love  bringing new life to an old piece and wondering about its history and where it came from. I have been blessed with so much in my life and am learning that in every situation with God's help, I can find rest and relaxation.   I hope you can find what makes you happy today and give yourself a smile, even in the tough times!  These are before and during pics... stay tuned for the big reveals!!!
