About a year ago I started a knitting group. My heart was breaking – it’s a long story and if you know well enough you know it’s long and evolved. But I started to get out away from a computer that I had hid behind to pretend to be someone and something I wasn’t…. so I started a group. My therapy group.
In that group I met some AWESOME folks… and one amazing lady who I swear is a sister to my heart. I actually MET her for the first time after the fires in San Diego (her dad ended up losing his home) but I knew from all the emails of the previous months before that she was a great person.
Through the past few months (can you believe that girl - 6 months?!) I feel so inspired by her… We share so many things from home schooling our kiddos, to knitting and crochet to (blast) a similar sense of humor!
I guess in all that tragedy and especially in my heart break – I grew up a bit. I use to think that I needed a lot of names in my cell phone of people to call “friends” but rarely knew anything about me at all. Now I have a much better perception about what I want in my life not what I THOUGHT I needed.
I realized today I have people I care about and who really care about me. So thank you Amanda, and all my therapy “sisters” who held me when I would cry about nothing. You really do make a difference and I might not always say it – but I’m so glad I have you in my life!
