…thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees
I can barely remember what day of the week it is and during this strange time in our history I find myself experiencing a whole range of emotions. One of them is extreme sadness and it hit me like a ton of bricks this past week. I reached out to my family and some of my friends and they helped me through this difficult time with humour and love.
For a couple of days my blog was sadly neglected and I’m only now trying to get back into it. I’m not doing this out of a sense of duty but rather for the love of it. It really does give me perspective and a place to connect with friends all over the world. I hope all of you are coping during these trying times and staying safe and keeping healthy.
Sending love and hope

This pandemic has been really difficult. At first I had lots of anxiety and now I have days of depression. And I want to get out of the house so bad! You’ll be in my prayers!

Thank you Michelle. I’m thinking of all of you and just hope that none of you get the virus. I have heard from one blogger that I follow daily who got the virus but thankfully recovered.

I totally understand. It’s hard to keep myself uplifted. Blogging has helped me in a lot of ways. First and foremost I love doing it. But I’m trying to find things that are uplifting or simply full of fun and color. It seems to be giving me a purpose to continue moving forward. It could be so easy to fall back and say I can’t go out and do things. We are both uplifters and love helping people (ie you teaching all those years). I know I feel more lonely than normal 😀

Thanks Cee. I find it particularly difficult to help people you love from a distance. Everyone is feeling very emotional and sometimes words in an email just don’t come across the way you hoped. I look forward to the short conversations I have with my neighbours from a safe distance but of course the weather here is very unpredictable and standing in the cold isn’t always ideal or comfortable. Also because of the distance you have to raise your voice to be heard and sometimes you just don’t want to share some thoughts with all the neighbours.

“Screaming” to be heard is never fun. This will pass sooner than we know. Keep reaching out and blogging. Go through your photos of your loved ones and create a conversation in your with them. They will be pick the vibes you are sending their way.
