Sarah Bessey, challenged others to post on “What is saving your life right now?”
What is saving my life right now?
In times past crocheting saved my life. Somehow organizing those threads helped me to organize my life. I crochet less these days, though I hope, after my visit to the optometrist next week, I will see better and in turn enjoy crocheting more again.These days my computer and the internet save my life:
- the wonder of Skyping with my beloved daughter and granddaughter who are 4,000 km away.
- the joy of connecting with family and friends via email, Facebook, shared photos, blogs.
- the excitement of learning new things about the world we live in, from the news, from science sites, from gossip sites.
- the rest of just zoning out while playing solitaire.
- the fulfilment of creating a slideshow of memories
- getting a new vegetable in my Community Supported Agriculture share, going online to find a recipe.
- googling the address and printing out directions for a friend who need to travel to another city and wants to know how to get the hospital there to visit a friend
- the lostness of a non-functioning computer and the relief in getting it back again
So I say loudly, “Thank God for my computer and the internet!”
Lovely list – almost all of these are on my list, too.
Thanks, Sarah, I have felt, since finding your blog, that you are a kindred spirit. And that too saves my life!
