LOL! Joc was telling me about a story of a woman that was born on 12/12/1912 that was celebrating her 100th birthday on 12/12/2012. How cool is that?!?

I went back to work in August because I believe God called me to that. This is my mission for right now. Some of my friends are still pushing for me to come to guild meetings, etc. and I know they mean well and miss me, but this is just a different time in my life. I loved the years when I wasn't working and had time to stitch with friends whenever I wanted but it's time to focus on something besides myself. I still want to stitch as often as possible but other things need to take precedence. I hope that makes sense! blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418888800522073558.post-928999639725676152012-12-13T15:39:29.819-05:002012-12-13T15:39:29.819-05:00Wonderful post!

I think we go through natural phases where our priorities change by circumstance or by choice. We aren't the same person as we once were and it makes perfect sense to reorient yourself.

I know I have been reevaluating my painting which is something I enjoy very much. I don't think there is a wit of harm in that at all unless it becomes too important to me or more important than the things that will be here when I am gone! I love you, my beautiful daughter! I will pray for you as you seek God for His perfect use of your time and energy!Sonshine in the Mountainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511897405883180664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418888800522073558.post-64426657573581177822012-12-13T08:17:23.911-05:002012-12-13T08:17:23.911-05:00Thank you for sharing that.

I have become so focused on quilting (making up for all the years that I just didn't have time to quilt) and I need to devote more time to the true reason I'm here. <br /><br />I hope you'll update us periodically with your progress on this journey.

Y...I appreciate the glimpse into your life, Teresa. You have shown wisdom here. It is easy to get caught up in all of the fun ideas and fads in the quilting world and totally lose focus on what really counts in life. Quilting can do a lot of good, but as someone much wiser than me once said, sometimes we need to differentiate between good, better and best. I am trying to find balance in my life and I know some things that are consuming much of my time are not the "best" use of that precious resource. We all need ways to fill our plate, but we don't need to be gluttons about it. : ) Good luck on your questJanet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418888800522073558.post-9173598465787795452012-12-13T02:27:11.456-05:002012-12-13T02:27:11.456-05:00It does seem as if the days fly by at a frightenin...It does seem as if the days fly by at a frightening pace.
