remember when we played music using a boom box? one that had pause, play, fast forward, rewind, and record buttons? when kris' health started to quickly deteriorate three months ago, I pressed pause on my own life and became very present in hers. I felt like I was honoring her life in making that choice.
it wasn't obvious to me at the time, but on Monday I pressed play in my own life again...in the best way I know how.
I gave myself the gift of a day. a day to create, to celebrate special friends, to complete a project. oh, how good it felt to get back into my life again.

well, that made me smile for you. and for kris.
you are so special. and your boom box plays the most beautiful music. ever! turn it up, you!!!
I still have a boombox in our house--the door to hold the cassettes is broken (not that I hav any cassettes to play anymore), and the CD player is tempermental, but I still hold onto it.
I love that you are celebrating pressing "play" by doing something you love.
Happy weekend!
so beautiful! i'm so glad that you chose to press play and to have fun. enjoying your days is the best way to honor and remember your friend. Have a wonderful weekend - and keep that boom box playing!
beautiful cards! You are so talented.
I remember my old boombox...it seems so outdated now :) Funny how quickly things change, isn't it?
I'm glad you pressed play - enjoy all the good music of life. Nothing is better than enjoying family, friends and some fun crafting.
What good therapy creating can be! I am glad you found something to make you happy.
Have a great weekend...God bless.
