August finish

I suppose I could have made it bigger. I had more flowers left. They might be added to for another project.  I think I was caught up in the finish.  Lately what started as a fun adventure (clean up those languishing projects) seems to be more about saying goodbye to old friends.  Perhaps that is where my head is lately.

I just watched a movie called still mine with James Cromwell and Genevieve Bujold about dementia. Sad but yet true in how it can affect your life.  I'm at the age where I check to see if I or those around me have the start of it.  Haven't a clue as to what I would do if they did, but I still watch.

My father in law is in hospice.  His body is tired and worn.  The someday you knew would come is barreling in like a freight train and so far folks are just scattering and yet trying to hold on to anything.  I find myself sensitive to things that even sound remotely dark and am on edge.  Everyone will pass from this earth, it's true. It's also inevitable that in your life you will walk this path that ends in a physical goodbye.  I wish I could do so with more grace.

So, I guess to end this depressing post, I shall endeavor to focus on the beauty you find, like flowers in the field. (My unofficial name for the project).

Here is hoping you find beauty to get you through the tough times.
