Living quietly, enjoying tiny glimpses of sunshine - there may be a summer yet! Good food, a little crafting and some list making - with coffee and salted caramel brownie on the side, and some early morning chess games have featured in my days this week. But then a tumble resulting in a sprained ankle served as a timely reminder that those lists might have been getting a bit too long... and so I am being still - I
am just being still- honestly...
such lovely photos, I'm sorry to hear you have injured your ankle, speedy healing ,,just sit,
ReplyDeleteThings often happen in life to make us slow down.... its like something knows that you have to stop and stop you now have to do and give yourself time to heal physically and emotionally....So be still and just be.... and soon you will heal and begin to carry on....sending loving healing vibes your way...... Love Jane xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteJacqui, I continue to think how kind you are to share these posts with us, and think that the sharing might also be a kindness to yourself. May that sprain heal soon. May you find more generous days like those you've shown us.
ReplyDeletexo to you and yours.
Oh wow, I love your Lewis Chessmen repros!
ReplyDeleteMy Uncle was obsessed with them from childhood , they are thus legendary in my family. He even wrote a book about them:

ReplyDeleteNow that is just the pits about your ankle, but it does give you time to read, hand work and more chess games. Take care of yourself my dear friend, Much love.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it must have been a hard day, you were in my prayers. Take care and let yourself heal.
ReplyDeleteYes sometimes our bodies force us to slow down and take a much needed rest, you are never far from my thoughts and if you and the wee man fancy a holiday break, we have a lovely caravan parked right outside our kitchen door!!

Oh poor you! I twisted my ankle badly a few years back and it's no fun. I hope you are getting some help with chores, and perhaps some helpful exercises to do. I seem to recall standing on one leg and balancing on the ankle (once I was back on my feet) was very good. I'm glad you have cake, and chess. Keep looking for the good. You are an inspiration. Bless you (both). X
ReplyDeletehope you heal super fast so you are back to being outside and capturing the beauty that surrounds you!
ReplyDeleteLook after yourself! :) Enjoy the slowness and just remember to breathe. Sending you both much love from the Canadian prairies.
ReplyDeleteQuiet time, healing time for both body and mind. I hope your ankle heals soon and the pain is not too unbearable.
ReplyDeletemuch love xxx
Thinking of you. xx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the tumble! Rest and heal...the lists will wait, I am a list maker and can attest to it! They will wait for you. :) Yes, summer is here. Hope you are able to soak up some vitamin D. :)

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeletesorry to hear about your sprained ankle ... best wishes for a speedy recovery. I love the lewis chess pieces ... how fun that you have your very own set.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and your family lots. Hope the ankle has started mending now xx
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you now have a sprained ankle to contend with. When it rains it pours, doesn't it?? Take each moment as it comes. The days and months following my husband's passing were an emotional blur. I didn't feel like my feet were back on the ground until several months afterwards. My two younger sons slept with me. I needed them as much as they needed me. I knew it was time to boot them back into their own rooms one night about six months later after they were driving me crazy jumping all over the bed and being happy little kids again. The healing process is so different for everybody. Feel better my friend!! xo

Hi Jacquie, Afraid I've been out of the Bloggo loop recently. Writing music journalism leaves little time for yet more words on the side. Sorry to learn about the passing of your other half. Hope all is well with you - despite the ankle and summer arrives eventually!
ReplyDeleteI hope your ankle heals quickly, beautiful photos, lets hope we get some summer soon, you are in my thoughts often, we've experienced the loss of loved ones too often with cancer in my family too, take care x
