Counting down the days. Trying to reign in emotions as memories flood my mind of my little girl growing up. And resisting mild panic as I see loose ends dangling in wedding preparations. When I measure a warp, it is essential to accurately measure how many threads have accumulated around the warping reel. I keep track with a simple counting string. Measuring days is not that straightforward. Days pass by too quickly and too slowly at the same time.
May your days be lengthened and/or shortened, as needed.
With sweet anticipation,
Karen
Thanks for the interesting view of counting time, like we count strings on the warping reel.
Your reflections on time past and future, as you live in the now, come through your words.
Eileen, I needed that reminder to live in the now! Thanks! Sometimes it’s a delicate balance.
I feel that you must be sending her into this new phase of her life with many wise words and loving, firm guidance. She is a very lucky young woman, I am sure, and as bittersweet as this time must be, I say, well done, mom – well done.
Laurie, you have touched me to the core with your sweet words. Thank you.
