Totally get this post. January is a tough month, and it’s hard to have a busy, full life and remember to stop and appreciate it more often.

I am sure that that quilts with it stories and history have room for all kinds of days and all kinds of moods. Embrace the experiences life offers. (ooh… and remind me of that sentence when i gos through a rough patch myself).

January does the same thing to me. Getting out of town to a warm and sunny place totally helped this year. Now we are back and it’s snowing all the time! OH well. More time inside to get some projects finished. Right?

Thanks for the great post. It sums up how I feel sometimes, especially this time of year, and it makes me feel good to know I’m not alone. I keep a gratitude journal and at times like this I like to read back and remember how much I have to be thankful for.

This week was tough here as well. Sick children, medicines that cause my non-sleeping toddler to sleep even less, extra hours at work, house falling apart, two difficult projects for school that there just wasn’t time for. After the freaking out and the near-tears moments, it all settled down. It usually does. Just hang in there and it will get back to those peaceful moments.

Middle school drama – say no more! My youngest is almost finished with middle school and I will be so happy to wave it goodbye.

A wonderful post. Thanks for putting into words that which I can’t.

I love this post Amy. We’ve all been there. I myself have been there this week as well….which is why it has taken me a few days to tell you that your “giving something back” quilt arrived safely at my home. Thank you. I absolutely love it. (More to share with you in personal email.)

This is a brave and honest post.
You’re not alone in these feelings.
Being positive is great, and it is also important to acknowledge sadness and frustration and challenge — those are vital parts of a real life, too.
I hope the sun is shining where you are today.

you are not alone!
i swear the full moon has been doing a number on me. but i love your reminder that it just takes a small adjustment to see the positive. i’m going to work on that this week, too.
