Thank you to all who have written blog comments or contacted me in other ways after Lisa and Nash were attacked. Your reaching out has meant a lot to me.
Blogging is hard. You've heard that from Jennifer, from Anne, and from me. And this morning, I am just drained and struggling to write. The dog attack on Lisa and Nash has knocked me sideways. I rarely feel blue or down, but I sure am today.
I keep several lists of ideas for blog entries, but even those are not appealing at the moment. Having said that, this photo in my files lifted my spirits a bit.
My Mother's Day gift from Denver Daughter Sarah (now in Iowa; I have got to come up with a new nickname for her!) is an unusual wood burned Nativity puzzle. See the very prominent donkey with the purple blanket? It wasn't until I wrote this post that I realized it is supposed to be a camel. Whoops!
It is not an easy puzzle either, despite the fact that there aren't too many pieces. I actually took that photo to help me remember how to assemble it after struggling to piece it together.
I don't know where Sarah found it, but recently there was an ad on Facebook for it. Here it is so you can Google it if you want one of your own.
Nativities represent several things, one of them hope, and boy, we sure need that this week.
