@jmjlove Great suggestions! I need to do the best I can with what I have and where I am. I did get out my quilting supplies and I’m working on a project. What has taken me 6 weeks, others have done in 4 days, but so what?!

@becsbuddy...just acknowledging facts and truths is a step forward, a step away from our sorry condition. Who cares if we take longer on any given task? No one knows the monumental efforts we put into simple tasks. How could they? Quilting is so peaceful, such a beautiful hobby. If I have talent for a particular craft, and I'm able, though it takes me forever, I find deep satisfaction doing it. That satisfaction translates into a better attitude, which translates into much better coping with my deficits and keeps me from turning sour and unpleasant to be around.

Good for you! God bless.
