moving forward?

If you can’t fly then run,

If you can’t run then walk,

If you can’t walk then crawl,

but whatever you do

you have to keep 

moving forward.

I'm trying, really I am.

Some days are easier than others.

I can say that I always cheer when I get to turn the calendar 

from January to February.

There is just something about January. 

My new goal, next year of course, will be to 

find something to Love about January.

I have tried to keep busy the past few weeks.

I have some sewing projects that keep calling my name.

I have a couple of sister in laws who have had gatherings the

past two weekends. It is always a good thing when they ask for help.

I was able to cut up some fruit and make a few batches of cookies.

Of course I did jump the gun a bit and make Valentine cookies,

because I love Valentine cookies.

I received this picture in an e-mail this past week...

It is a beautiful statue. I was determined to find its origin.

I came across two other blogs that posted the same picture 

first one here

the second one here

It appears it was made for unborn children in Slovakia.

However, It reminds me of children who have died.

my child, my daughter

Many days, this is exactly how I feel.

 Kristen  is comforting me.

It is because of her that I can go forward.

Some days all I do is crawl,

and I have learned that 

that's okay.
