Falling into Place

Amazingly, my days are falling into place.  A routine that feels good.  By no means a fast pace, just getting something done for each day that has been given to me.  

I do plan on going into the sewing studio each morning for a short stint.  The three yards of border fabric yields two sides of the tablecloth.  I had two three-yard lengths.  After doing one such cutting this morning, I realized I need to put a new blade into my rotary cutter. Tomorrow I will have one last cut to make in my decorative border fabric and then all is ready for assembly. 

Coming upstairs,  the first item was sitting down for a break with water.  The top of the kitchen range was on the slate.  A splatter here, a splatter there and add a kettle of pasta that managed to boil over . . . it cries out for help.  A sink full of hot sudsy water works wonders. 

This afternoon I made contact with Aunt Janet.  With the heat settling in for the remainder of the week, doing a check-in when you know they aren’t venturing out . . . it’s a good thing.  Dennis on the other hand is quite mobile . . . rain or shine . . . hot or cold.  Dennis is off having coffee with buds.  I think it’s great.  Commiserating allows one to know how others spend their time when there is no grass to mow.

I am enjoying a Monday feeling optimistic as I know the importance of having a routine that makes for a balanced life.  It takes more patience than I knew I had.
