Excuse the ding...path
Anyway, there seems so many ways to connect the dots... which is really finding some sense in chaos.
Thread beads to the rescue.

Thread beads to the rescue.
a different path, the dots make it more like a movement, a way to go (or a way on the go, or a way away, so many ways of playing with words and images…)
a path as movement is very beautiful, thank you.
“things are not going as planned…” ha! i can SO relate! (but often something even better comes as a result!) time will reveal the best path forward. just let it be…
expectation is most confusing…
Sometimes I yearn for the days before computers then I think of my online friends and how my life has been enriched by them. Today I yearn for forest bathing but the woods are too far away and too cold.
Technology is good. The applications are questionable but hey…
Geesh, technical stuff sure is a bother! Though, possibly pushing you to choose something, maybe? Anyway, good luck with it all…
yes, it is a push.
I get an email to your blog every day and i love your writing. I don’t know about private pages but i hope i get included!
surely…
Happy wandering through your garden and woods 🤍🕊️
gosh it was cold out there.
I don’t have an answer but a walk in the garden sounds good. Bundle up!
Right?
They flat out need to fix the issues with the webpages. I don’t know how you’re handling it with grace; I’d be ready to take a hammer to it by now.

I love this piece, Jude! The thread bead line connecting it all is really beautiful. Yes, it’s always a winding path. I admire all of you who can work through the technical issues . . . I’m glad that there are choices, hopefully one will provide that Worry Free space. We have heavy snow coming down today. The world has turned black & white again, will spend some time playing with colors indoors today!
Ptience will be a path I suppose, back to the just going that has served me so well. Snow expected here as well today. But it will not stay.
Wandering winding dots reminds of how my cat Lucy wanders about when she goes walking with us at twilight
being a cat she could not walk a straight line if one of her 9 lives depended upon it.
Its a happy day when you post words and pondering!
Wandering about the yard and garden is a refreshing habit when stymied
Not all who wander are lost…..
maybe I’m a stray at heart…
Thoughts of a recent presentation by a member of the local astronomy group on the April 8 total solar eclipse came immediately to mind. It will require a road trip to Erie to observe the totality. Perhaps you’re in a better location?
close but not really…
Technology can be a door and a wall. I really like the lightness of your path through and to… wishing that for your other paths, too.
I think it might have taken hold.
Choices…I like the windy path of dots. Pros and cons for all of it. Gardening always seems good though, at least when you can get outside to garden…
choices are good, they are always there if you nurture new eyes. The wind here is outrageous today. I wish it would lift me and toss me around, just for a while.
For the private pages substack could be a good option. There are so many moving parts on these pages. It’s not like you have some sort of outrageous set of requests for a functional online presence but….. sigh.
The blog part of it was always the most difficult segment of my website and had to be done separately. Integrating a website with a blog was the complicated part. Seems like many are moving to substack esp for the sponsored parts. As a user the experience has been good.
We had a night of high winds shifting us from 50 to 15 degrees. Everyone, even the cats, feel unsettled. The garden is too cold but the chickadees like the dried seeds on the flowers we left.
it is all so exhausting really, even the number of options.
I am happy I let all the dried flower heads, and how that works for the birds and bees.
Gardening is always a good place to spend time and energy….a fine conclusion dear Jude.
❤️
This is one of my favorite stitchings of yours, Jude. I like the wavering stitch line so very much, an analogy (at least in my mind) of how things really go in this world…not always aligned, rigid…but rather flowing and natural. And that simple adjustment I find relaxing, and freeing.
yes it feels good to free myself from my own habit of thinking…
I love this one especially too! I am grateful to Jude for threading so many lovely paths, and yes, cultivating new eyes, I must add this to my gratitude list to move forward…..
Frustrating! I used to work in technology, not online apps, but business apps. Technology can accomplish much, but it’s like untangling a knotted thread… 90% frustration, 10% elation (when it works!). Gardening sounds like a better alternative…
I think so
Without realizing, I am always striving for structure and balance, yet I am not a fan of structure/rigidness, Ha!
But I AM a big fan of taking one’s “troubles” to the garden.
(Too chilly for that today, so I think I’ll continue to ignore household chores by stitching, instead! Ha!!)
Hope you find a solution that pleases you!
I like your thread bead path…………………
it’s absolutely freezing here today, but I will take a wander.
