It's a longer story really.
But just to explain without asking for sympathy or getting into too much detail. There was a sudden issue, a trip to the emergency room, a rush to surgery and a 13 day hospital stay. I'm home now. recovering. I missed Soul-o so much. I spent a lot of my down time just thinking. About so many things. I am grateful to be here. And I've no idea where to begin again...or what I might be capable of or even motivated by.
When I returned home I put on my Wind Robe. There are not a lot of pictures of it here, some here, it was recorded on the blog that was Iost. It is lightweight and full of patches and stitches and I add to it once in a while. It holds a sense of liquid safety for me.
This morning I noticed this wishing star stitched in a way to hold things together. Wishing can be a kind of mending I said to myself. Maybe it also has something to do with new eyes.
Such a relief to see your post! Please take care of yourself…enjoy your time with Soul-o.
I’m so glad you’re home with soul-o and your family Jude! Wishing on your star for a speedy restful recovery… slow down with some slow stitching.
much love and best wishes Jude💙
Dear Jude, please, please take care of yourself. Soul-o missed you and so did we.
love the simplicity ‘n transparency of this “mending star”. grateful you’re on the other side of whatever “that” was, safely cocooned in your wind robe with your beloved soul-o alongside. he must be wondering “what was that?” also… here’s to “new wise” for all of us! x
Very glad you are home and recovering.
Take your time, enjoy this season and the coming one. Let life come to you for a while.
Sending you healing energy and hugs!
Glad you are back. I’ll tell you what my yoga teacher said, and she may have been quoting also: start where you are, use what you have, do what you can. Sending lots of love and healing energy.
Dear Jude, I am sending my love and best wishes to you. I am grateful to know you are now out of hospital. Gently does it.
Oh my….get well soon! Staying in a hospital for two weeks is serious stuff!
Please take care of yourself! Hugs and kisses d wishes,
eva
More depressing than anything…😵💫
Wow! I’m so glad you came through. Time for healing now. Do what you can when you feel you can and soak up the spring energy.
Somethin’ else really.
Jude – I hope your wishing star brings you many good days for stitching and thinking and comfort. ❤️❤️
Hey!
Happy soul-o is with you and take care. Keep going.
I love him, he missed me.
Happy that soul-o is with you again. Keep going. Take care.
Good to hear you are mending – things do fall apart at times, wishing you well
Ha, an understatement…
Please have a smooth, speedy recovery:)
Oh i worry now when i see someone out of commission for awhile, as there are so many of us older these days. Glad to hear you’re on the ups as they say. Hugs across the ether, and a good cuppa tea.
Yes, the age of now what?
So glad you’re on the mend. Take all the time you need.
So glad you are back at home and in the mend wishing you a peaceful recovery !!
I’m so glad you’re home where you belong, back with Soul-o. I’ve been thinking about you. Sending love and healing/mending vibes.
Fragility. Missed your thoughts and stitches. Heal well.
Happy to hear you’re home and Soul-o and you are reunited. Please take care and go slow when need be. That star makes me crushingly aware of life’s fragility — it is barely stitched together.
I noticed it’s broken-ness. Thought of you.
So happy to hear you have come through a storm and are at home again. I missed the inspiration and thoughts you share so freely.
Hoping to continue…
Oh my! I’m glad you are home and wrapped in the Bird Robe with Soul-o for companionship. Sending lots of healing ❤️ your way. I have a robe I made (actually two) thanks to your generous guidance and I feel the same way – love to wrap up in it when things are not going well. And add a few stitches occasionally. Thank you for that!

A good skill, mending.
Prayers coming your way for a quick recovery.
Blessings of home and cat companion and liquid safety robe to you! Oh, my … yes, indeed, “what was that” is a good question. Peace and restoration, strength and ease to you, dear woman.
Soul-o is hugging me.
What a beautiful Wishing Star, Jude. It’s my favorite~
I wish you well, in every sense of the words. It has clearly changed you…perhaps saved you.
These are just thoughts, spurred by instinct.
Yes, changed.
Blessings of healing and peace to you Jude …
I hope you feel better soon. I’m so sorry you had to go through this. I am glad you posted because I’ve been wondering about what had happened. I’m glad you are out of the hospital too, it must feel so much better being home with Soul-o. Take care.
Maybe I learned a few things.
So glad to know you are recovering. Take it slow and enjoy the spring.
So hey ho indeed … glad to know you are safely on the other side of whatever that was … take care and may you soon be fully well
I’m still asking myself, what was that?
