March

Last March we were here. When I think of the anniversaries of next few months, I feel a tightness in my chest. There is part of me that wishes I had known just how minute an amount time was left and another part that knows that there is very little, if anything, I could have done differently. I miss her so, so much. But the memories are precious and I have, an all-too-short lifetime of them. What a gift.

Zelie is three months now. Such a beautiful distraction. I have much to be thankful for.

Stones

Most of you know about this blog's connection to Gardenmama and the Wellness Tree. Well, true to form, in honor of Kelly's Birthday, the beautiful Nicole did a perfectly wonderful thing and set up a swap. An Artful Stone Swap. I chose to paint on my stones.

Each one different, I wrapped them in pieces of an old vintage pattern and bound them with raffia that had belonged to Kelly. As I said a little prayer for each recipient, I closed my eyes (to remain impartial), put each tiny parcel in their envelope and sent them off. I don't know who will receive which stone, but I trust that it's message is particularly for the one who receives it :)

Lots of love
