I tried on clothes and altered a bunch today and tonight. I've gained about 10 pounds this year, so lots of things that did fit, don't. I had a bunch of things I'd never taken down to that size, so I took them down to the current size today. Some things just needed hemming. I've always got a bunch of stuff that needs altering. It was cool tonight to be able to see to thread the machine! I love this having no cataracts! Trish had given me a bag of hand me downs when we were in the city and I tried them to see if I could wear anything. Of course everything was too long. So, while I was in the mood to alter, I got busy and did a bunch. Hand me downs are great; I've been wearing them my whole life, and nothing ever fits right that I buy, so I'm always altering whatever I wear. I wonder what people who don't sew do?
Anyway, I thank God to be able to see! I also thank Him that the peripheral neuropathy that I had with chemo reversed, so I can use my hands! (Also I don't have the horrible pains that I had in my legs and feet!) I feel so much better now than I did when I was going through chemo! It was 7 years ago that I was diagnosed with breast cancer and there have been some tough times, but I've lived 7 years. That's a lot and I thank God for those 7 years. I thank Him for the good times and the memories I treasure. God blesses with abundance!
