It is more money then I would normally spend on myself, but I only have this one life. In 5 years, I might wake up and not be able to use my arms. I don't want to regret that I didn't spend some time creating beauty with fiber just because I was scared of a train ride and spending a little money. I woke up on Saturday and deeply regretted not spending more time on the potter's wheel. I don't feel like I used my "healthy" time well. I want this new life to be different. I want to be able to say that I lived. But first, I have to go through this grieving. Thank you all so very much. These posts have helped tremendously.
