It was cathartic, and very much needed. For a few months, I worked on a tapestry for the service board I used to work with.
I keft the board, effective immediately a couple of Fridays ago due to stress and medical need. I had removed myself as effectively and as safely as I could.
I have been up all night, and this project stared at me. Anger, resentment and shame stared at me. I tried to rip the stitches out. It just didn’t work.
So, I cut the edge, and ripped the cloth. I removed the finished stitches, and turn the rest into bookmark sized material.
It was at that point that I began to feel much better. After spending most of the night on it, I am tired, and finally ready for bed.
Sometimes, ripping the bandaid off is the kindest way of removing a source of a problem. -L
