Okay

It’s been almost a week since I’ve written anything here. I have several posts floating around in my head, but no real motivation to write them right now. In the past when I have gone long periods without writing, it has been because I’ve had little inspiration, usually because I am just feeling really sad and having a terrible time getting any perspective on the grief.

But this time, I’ve had little motivation to write because quite honestly, I haven’t needed to. It has been a pretty good week. And I am working really hard at being okay with that. It is still a struggle, but it is becoming a tiny bit less so each day. And for that, I’m grateful.

  1. Thanks for checking in with your readers. I think about you often and am glad that your week has been ok and that you're trying so hard to be ok with it.

  2. I thought maybe that was the case...and I am so glad. I know EXACTLY what you mean about "trying hard to be OK with it." My experience lately has been much the same...almost as though having things get better is somehow a BAD thing. Rationally I KNOW that's not the case, but emotionally it's a different story...

    Love you, Mandy...hope you are still coming to Topsail in August and we will be able to meet!

  3. Sounds fragile but good; enjoy it as you can. But it makes so much sense that it would be a struggle to feel stable and good. Thanks for checking in.

  5. I can totally relate! I think writing / blogging is such a great outlet for grief.

  7. Glad to hear you are getting a much-needed respite. Sometimes, like a favor, it can be hard to be gracious enough to just accept it. Good for you...
