How I know I’m in good mental shape?  When I’m engaging in the things that I love. This is how I knew I might finally be healing from the effects of Lyme. Around the end of May I started sewing again. Honestly I had not stepped foot in my sewing room since about January. I […]

Hello 2017!   I woke up happy this morning. That’s a good sign.     First day of the New Year….. Me ….. Happy!  YAY!   Then I’ve had this old song stuck in my head all day…. “I believe in miracles Where you from You sexy thing, you sexy thing you I believe in miracles […]
