How are you?
With heartbreaking headlines from ALL OVER THE WORLD, climate change showing its game face, and economic downfall happening to most of us, I cannot help but feeling this struggle to wake up everyday. Not to mention, having this giant void since losing my 13+ year old Marilyn last month.
We've read the saying "be gentle to yourself" so often it confuses us (or me?), what does it actually mean? Does it mean we can ask for a deadline stretch? Gulping down a bottle of Shiraz despite acid reflux? Does it mean sleeping in and missing a few chores? All the above? I do not know.
But here's what I do know. Having a good pillar of support helps. My husband has been wonderful. When mood swings and anxiety wire how a day can be, it takes a special someone to be gentle to you, to listen without disposing solutions, snort-laugh at a funny meme, or simply being gentle to your dogs who just chewed on yet another corner of your kitchen door.
I am glad that I have him and I sincerely hope you have that one person too.
This post may bot offer a one solution for whatever we are feeling today, nor will it answer and ease our worries. But I hope, by reading this, you know you are not alone.
Let's do these five questions, if you want a sweet nothing distraction:
Something you’re looking forward to: My nephew Nathanael first solo trip to Bali as YPTA (Young Passenger Travelling Alone)
A worry that’s on your mind: My health that is very much stress induced and the fact that I have to be on anti depressant again.
Your favorite dessert: Not a sweet tooth but a gooey dark chocolate brownie sounds really good right now.
And last, a big long hug for each and everyone of you reading this.
