Blog Break Update

Once upon a time there was a blogger blogging enthusiastically. One day in November of 2024, like a carved out pumpkin (pun noted), a step back was in order.  The first week was restful.

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.


And there's the rub.

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.

Be Hopeful!


 

P.S.
I am trying to return to regular blogging later this week.

    1. Hello Marie,
      I'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!

  3. 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.

    1. Good words, Maryanne, thank you
      I think you are right folks need to decompress. I didn't think of it that way.

  4. What a good attitude to take. Comfort objects can soothe and calm.

    1. Lorrie,
      Comfort objects are best because they don't have calories.
      I will still always love a pint of Hagen Daz coffee ice cream.

  6. 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.

    1. Jeanie,
      Think 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.
