A funk, so this is short.........

I am in a funk and definitely not good company today. I wonder if I have any chocolate....hang on, I bought some for Christmas presents. That will do. The person destined to receive the box can have something else. I can make something. Biscuits. That will do. Now where did I hide them........

I am not going to talk about why I am in a funk. All I am going to say is that I am very tired of a whole lot of things, and that it has to do with human nature. This is turning out to be what I suppose could be one of the lower points in my life,  if I get to look back over the whole thing one day. A dip. One where I have learned many lessons, battled to stay positive (thank you, God, for instilling a spirit of thankfulness in me - it is keeping me sane) and ate a lot of chocolate. Not to mention a time when I drank a lot of coffee.

It could be worse, of course.

So I am heading back to something I know, trust and understand, my sewing machine. And I am going to sand the wooden things I cut on the scroll saw. And I may crochet something. Or I may just finish that prayer shawl I started in the summer. David is cooking tonight, and I could not be more thrilled that I do not have to conjure up something myself. The Autumn quilt is finally finished. I will take some photos tomorrow.

Day 9: I am so thankful for these four walls, which are a  haven, a shelter and somewhere I can just relax and do what I love doing, with the people I love being around. My family. My home.

Nothing better for a funk than chocolate and coffee. Nothing in the world. Have at it, my friend!

Oh! That's what I need...chocolate. I'll be reduced (hahahahah...funny word in this context) to munching on chocolate chips. May the sewing machine help. It might help me, but I've not found it yet.

To be able to take your misery and turn it into something that brings joy, is a miracle. (As is getting any 20 year plus lad to cook anything...)

Grab that chocolate and head to the machine. The woes will be lifted in no time at all, I am sure. Works for me anyway!!!!

Sorry you're in a funk Linds - but maybe everything will look a bit brighter in the morning. I'm in a funk too - mine is a caused by vile teenage daughter funk. And what makes it even worse is that there is no chocolate in the house, so I'm off to look for the gin. H xx
