Blog Break Update
On a quiet meditative Sunday, this blogger began to question: Will I ever blog again? What's missing?
Sure and not sure are the answers.
Perhaps the stress of the last election along with the anxiety of what he will do has impacted me more than I realized. I accept as well as support the winner. I believe he will do good things for America. However, I've had bad dreams about what can go wrong. Yet, my heart says that's not the reality of what I feel when I'm awake. In the daylight, there is Hope. There are prayers to tend, and good things to focus on despite the bad dreams.
When trust has been so badly damaged, it is not easy to get back a positive outlook. Try as we may, we can still lean hard on there are more facts to support anticipating disaster than not.
Methinks my life needs mittens, cute cozy warm nostalgic vibing knitted mittens once a perfect spot for a runny nose. Comfort objects have a way of giving our hearts a soft landing when the winds of turmoil swirl us aloft with dreads.
I am trying to return to regular blogging later this week.
I will look forward to your return. I can understand your anxiety these days though. The world is with you.
ReplyDeleteHello Marie,
DeleteI'm catching up on blog reading this week. Reading is good on a very windy day like today. I can hear the wind whistling and see the trees bending back and forth.
Have a wonderful week!
Enjoy your break and we'll be here for your return. Take care.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week, Bill
DeleteI'm already thinking of ideas for a post this Friday.
I think a lot of people are still reeling over recent events and need a period to decompress and figure out how to get on with their lives. Take the time you need.
ReplyDeleteGood words, Maryanne, thank you
DeleteI think you are right folks need to decompress. I didn't think of it that way.
What a good attitude to take. Comfort objects can soothe and calm.
ReplyDeleteLorrie,
DeleteComfort objects are best because they don't have calories.
I will still always love a pint of Hagen Daz coffee ice cream.
I too look forward to your return. I remain caustically optimistic in our future and hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteJim & Barb,
DeleteHope for the best is the way to go.
Mittens are good -- and we're not going anywhere. Meanwhile, I can accept -- but I don't feel compelled to support things with which I disagree, but do what I can to change them. It will be slow change. Very slow.
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteThink about what he has done since the election. It seems that his theatrics are at a low point. The media is even publishing stories about a president elect instead of a jerk. There is hope.
Every time I try to go there, he announces another cabinet post. Sends me back. Matt Gaetz?
DeleteWhy people that will probably not be approved are chosen must fit the master plan.
DeleteEnjoy your blogging break.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed a very nice Autumnal walk today, the colours are just beautiful.
All the best Jan
Jan,
DeleteI think my blog break is ending soon.
Well, I do hope to see a post from you soon, but totally understand you need a break. Take all the time you need. I'll be here when you return.

Comfort items for sure are the best. Yesterday the LL Bean flannel sheets were put on our bed, very comforting and warm. Glad to read you will be back after a restful and contemplative break.
ReplyDeleteBeatrice,
DeleteFlannel sheets I've heard are the best for cold winters.
Ah Maywyn I get how you are feeling but I keep trusting that God is always in control. Faith in His Goodness gives me hope. I am for wearing mittens and warm socks and reading a good book for comfort :)!! Hugs
ReplyDeleteHugs Debbie
DeleteI remember you were one of the first blog comments I received.
