A Sorry Saturday…

It is gloomy outside today, and despite having the light on in my office, it feels pretty gloomy in here too. I keep pushing all those negative thoughts and feelings away, but they don’t go far, sneaking back whenever I try to think of better things.

Much as I hate to admit, I think the solution might be to stop struggling. Stop trying to carry on as usual, trying to create a little bit of normal. All though I appear to have forgotten what it looks like, or where I left it.

A patient soul by nature, I have a feeling that finally having a hospital appointment date to aim for, might just have made the waiting worse. I have tried to relax and rest, stop worrying about my lack of progress in the writing and book promotion world, to no avail. I have to at least try to keep busy.

So, it might not be much, but I will show up the best I can , and when I can…

I thank all of you for your support… 💖💖💖

    I can imagine your frustrations Jaye. My advice is my mantra – one day at a time, to avoid the overwhelm. 😍

      I have always wished I could concentrate on just one day at a time, but my brain has other ideas. It covers every eventuality and their possibilities all the time, and to be honest, it drives me nuts! Life would be a lot better if I could shut my brain up for a while…

    Maybe the date certain does make it worse but at least there is a date.

      I am hanging on to that date like a drowning woman…

        Don’t forget to breathe.

          That I can do, John. I am delighted to say!

    As a friend told me once… nothing changes if nothing changes! <3

      but what if the changes make things worse…

    That is an awesome photo Jaye. You can only take each day as it comes. The colder damp weather doesn’t help and the last few days here have been horrible. Time to adjust and not push yourself so hard maybe.
    Things have changed and much as we’d like to, the norm we’re used to isn’t there anymore.

      and there was me, thinking it was all my fault… I will find a way through all of this, somehow…

      1. pensitivity101 Avatar

        Nope, not your fault. None of like not being able to do what we could and we get angry with ourselves.

        1. Jaye Marie & Anita Dawes Avatar

          I haven’t quite reached that part yet, I’m still angry at just about everything else…

    What a wonderful photo. I think i would love this kind of glooming. Here is all in the mist. Stay strong and don`t worry. All things will have a good ending. Maybe you should consider using a so called “SAD lamp”. The world will shine brighter then. I am using my sun booster to get more color on my skin. Lol Otherwise i would not be able to use the mirror. :-) Best wishes, and enjoy a very nice weekend! xx Michael

      I always loved all the different kinds of weather, Michael, gloom included. These days, I look for more cheerful weather…

        Good idea, Jaye Marie! Strolling on fresh air is the best for body and soul. Best wishes, Michael

          Sorry: Strolling “in” fresh air. ;-)

    I have to agree, settling on a new normal may be the best. That photo is stunning- I wish gloom looked that pretty over here! hehehe

      That image perfectly matched my mood yesterday, Violet. I just hope that’s not what my new normal will look like…
