Ms. Moon and others of you are relieved that I am not curled up in a ball somewhere. I'm not. But that doesn't mean I don't seriously consider it every morning when I open my eyes.
I think of you, curled up in your bed, unrolling to face another day. You know, people always say to me that they can't believe how "well" I deal with stuff, and I have to laugh. Who sees us in our fetal positions or slumped over in the shower, the tears mixing with the water?
Oh yes, I know this truth well. And I think that those of us who face that challenge each day are so much stronger for it. I find momentum helps - inertia takes me down too far.
NOLA, i love your positive take. I will remind myself henceforth that it is making me stronger. NOLA darling said it was so! Thinking of you there in that storm. Be safe, dear friend.
I've been lost in those links for the article you posted the link too. I wanted to say thank you. It's brave to get up in the morning and not stay curled in a ball. Braver still to admit how you really feel. Sending you hugs.
Angella -- I read your blog each time you post and rarely say anything but I too know and I too get it and I too am sending you a virtual hug and strength. I've learned truth in the saying: "this too shall pass." Sweet Jo

ReplyDeleteI see you, Angella.
Sending love --
Dear and wonderful Elizabeth, yes, you know. Thank you. You made me cry.
DeleteLove love love.
This room looks different. Nice and golden. As long as you can consider and still get up, that is ok. You will get past that.
ReplyDeleteKristin, keep getting up, that is the mantra indeed. Thank you, friend. As for the room, I think I might play with it some more. Who knows?

ReplyDeleteHugs. We're here for you.

DeleteOh honey. I know. I really do.
ReplyDeleteDear Mary, i know you do. Bless you.
DeleteHugs from your bloggy friend. <3
ReplyDeleteHugs back, dear ellen!
DeleteI know, I know, I hope you are taking care of yourself whatever that means to you, I know.
ReplyDeleteMaggie May, i guess I'm trying to figure out what taking care o myself means. Will let you know if i discover the right answer.
DeleteIt's a time of deep change, and it's understandable that part of you would resist. Hugs, Angella! :)
ReplyDeleteSteve, it is deep change, isn't it? I think part of the issue is I keep trying to deny how deep it is. Thank you. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteIf you are in a ball and I am in a ball, can we still promise to talk to one another? It might be the only way for us to ever really "bounce" back...
ReplyDeleteI love you, dear one, and I am here. Always, always here.
