Description from Granny Chick aka Nancy: I am a caregiver to my spouse. He has been slowly slipping away and because I too am in ill health, I am frequently overwhelmed and feel as if I'll crack from the stress. But love, the peace I feel from my faith, and hope keep me going.

OK Jacki says:Granny, ditto what Coral & Becky said. Your creativity and great sense of humor are simply delightful. Like many of us, LB Picks is, hopefully, a nice respite for you. The caregiver is always the last person to ask for help – so please reach out often & early and be kind to yourself. Prayers,hugs & wishes for peace and comfort in this challenging time.

Granny Chick aka Nancy says:Oh my…. thank you so much. I was afraid I was being too whiney with this. But I just started and finished it in only a few minutes and it was so relaxing to do so. And yes, since I don’t have time or energy or concentration to make much jewelry other than a few earrings or pendants, playing with beads here is absolutely a life saver. Thanks to all.

Laud says:I feel your pain. I was caregiver for almost a year, and it’s difficult work even when you’re in good health. Try to stay positive, though it is. Best wishes!
