Thankyou.
Just wanted to write a quick note to say thankyou to those of you that still check in on this blog from time to time, even though I am not writing at the moment.
We have been through a really tough couple of months and I just haven't felt like being online much.
As a result of the stress, my anxiety has been up and down again, which has meant my health has also been pretty poor too.
I think at the moment, I am just in survival mode.
The kids are good though, Ryley is well and happy and ever-changing. And Braeden is happy and very much looking forward to school!
I am not sure when I will get back into writing again.

I'm sorry to hear of all this conflict. I understand the relentlessness and hope for ease and comfort for you and your family. Be well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth. Everything will be ok, just need to time to rest and remove the stress as best as we can.
ReplyDeleteThe road to obtaining a perspective of relative inner calm which can sustain us through our hardships is shrouded in uncertainty. When we enter a state of mind where there appears to be a majority of difficult issues, halting that spiral is absolutely essential. A side step sounds simple but is just beyond our grasp, closed in a way of thinking we don't want but where alternatives strike us as 'false'. Some things indeed do take time to germinate and in my darkest hour I have learned to trust neither false hope nor dark thoughts, like being blinded by oncoming headlights and fighting the urge to swerve. Staying the course.
ReplyDeleteThank you Eric. I feel like this has just been one of those periods in time where there is no real reason for the feelings of stress and axiety. I just need to try and still my mind and focus on the present. I cannot change the past and I cannot change the future, nor should I be spending my energy in worrying about it. Keep moving forward. It is all we can do.

DeleteBeen there, done that and STILL doing that...At times. we need to shut out the world, go inside and know that's OK. Life is very hard for us, and a break is well deserved and needed. Do what you need to do for yourself, and we will keep checking back and will keep you and yours in thoughts and energies...
ReplyDeletePhil, I really liked the quote you posted recently - "Taking time to do nothing often brings everything into perspective". That is so true for me at the moment and I'm sure Anna would benefit from that idea.
DeleteThanks Phil. It is amazing the connection between mind-body-spirit. I just need to breathe somedays and remember things will be ok. I just feel like I need to regain my strength somehow.
DeleteMarcelle- That is a great quote.
I was hoping you wouldn't be thinking that I was ignoring your posts Anna. On the contrary, I have been still watching and reading. I also have been hiding away for a while trying to sort myself out. I have felt disconnected and confused but I really needed some time to get my life back in perspective. I'm very relieved that most of the wonderful people I follow are still posting and I am grateful that you are willing to let us know why your posts have been much quieter. It's all good. We're still here for each other and can come and go with understanding.
ReplyDeleteOh Marcelle, I defintely don't think you have been ignoring my posts! I don't expect anyone to comment on anything! I am sorry to hear things have been hard for you too. I think sometimes we do just need to shut the things out of our lives that we don't need and just focus on the things we do need. Things will become clearer and things will settle down. I have absolute faith in that. Thinking of you too and I am a bit overwhelmed by these messages of support. Sometimes it does just feel like you are on your own sometimes.
DeleteThinking of you my friend and sending love and positive thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary xo
