Am I getting my Sew-Jo Back?

That's great to hear, Watson.
About 10 years ago and I had really bad depression (clinical) and didn't sew for 2 years! Looking back it's hard to believe but I felt so lousy that sewing was the last things on my mind. When it came back I knew I was on the mend.
HUGS to you.

Yay!!! So happy to hear it!
My friend Cindi lives 2 time zones away from me. We text a LOT. I have a tendency to browse quilting blogs, Pinterest, IG, and shops in the evenings while watching tv with my husband. I'll screencap pictures of quilts, techniques, show winners, etc and send them to her. She recently told me she loves it when I do this because it motivates her and pulls her into her quilting mojo. That made me feel pretty good. 🥰
I'm not sure how far away from your previous life you've moved. Maybe there's a new-to-you guild you can join? Make some new friends, take a class, go on a retreat.

Sounds like your mo-jo has started to wink at you. Pretty soon you will be browsing yur books/patterns, finding that "just right fabric", and sewing up a storm. I tihink Pintrest is the best idea for quilters since the rotary cutter. All those ideas just waiting to pin for later. Have fun.

Watson, you've been through a trauma and rightly needed to focus all your energy on healing. Your new block is evidence that you are making progress in your healing journey. It may be slow but it will be steady. So glad that you have a reminder that your life will be full of things that bring you pleasure as you move forward. ((Hugs))
