Activities that help bring me a sense of calm

I think an activity that brings me a sense of calm is making jewelry.  When my Jaslynn was going through chemotherapy she and I would make bracelets and give them to friends, family and the nurses.  

It was relaxing doing it in the hospital or at home when she couldn’t really go anywhere because of her counts being low. 

I think about her when I make jewelry.  Whether it’s bracelets or earrings.  It really does give me a sense of calmness.  She was my everything.  When she passed away in 2005, I gave up making jewelry and my other crafts because it was too hard.  

After sometime I picked it back up after I became disabled.  It was a way to keep my mind busy.  I feel so close to my Jaslynn when I’m making jewelry. If she was still here I know we’d still be making jewelry together. 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you’re having a great day.  

XOXO,
