Lessons From a Sickbed

:: When you haven't the energy to lift your head, you still have the power to knit one. more. stitch. Who knew?

:: When you can sit up in bed and want a challenge it turns out Fair Isle knitting isn't that hard, but three times as addictive as ordinary knitting. Alarm bells are already going off in my head.

:: Left to their own devices children will go through at least three waves of dinosaur obsession a day. And then you will stand on them and glad they went extinct. Oh yes.

:: Even when you're on a 1/4 power homeschooling still pootles along just fine.

:: Technology was given to us by God to teach us patience.

Sick Days

Sick days. They come with the territory of winter, somewhat.

We try to count our blessing through the stress of it regardless. We have medicine, warmth, comfortable sofas and chairs, a mama sitting standing by, cups of tea, cuddles, stories and, let's face it - an iPad. Alhamdulillah.

With every hardship comes relief. This too will pass.
