Being Loved for Me

I made it to knitting group last Wednesday, a really wonderful group of women.  I walked in as everyone was introducing themselves and saying what useful device they would create.  One device would rearrange chi, another make coworkers decide to retire, and a couple were knitting related.  Then it was my turn and the device was obvious: it would stop my chronic pain.

I've been feeling awful all week and weekend with high pain, no energy and my right arm going numb.  I was tired and needed to be around people so was glad to make the knitting group.  I only stayed for an hour and wasn't able to talk much.  As I got ready to leave, though, a lovely chorus of goodbyes rang out!  I felt so loved and accepted for me in that moment.  I'm terribly grateful for my knitting group.  It's the group of women I've been hoping to find for years.
