Starting Over

I had big plans for a post but since my last post I've been knocked down by what I am guessing is the FLU.  I have been barely able to sit up for days...and although  am trying to focus it's impossible.  I hope at some point the fog will lift and my life will resume.  Until then I hope all of you are well...and starting your year off with a bang.  I am alone now as everyone is gone.  It's pretty devastating.   I have some chores to keep me busy as long as my stamina holds up and it will be a while before it does that.  I had Mom's phone turned off this week, that was like the final straw that broke the camel's back..and I spent an entire day crying.  Now I just have to encourage myself to get up and face each of these days the ones where I have no one around me and nothing seems real...pretty depressing.  I tried to go into the yard and look up at birds and that made me feel faint.  

There is no food in the house so today I must go into a store and be around cheerful normal people that is going to be very hard, because I want to scream...I don't know if I can even do that but I will try..I guess Im starting over from the ground up...reality is only just now sinking in.









PEACE
Every day is a new Adventure.

  1. Hello, I am sorry you are not feeling well. It seems like everyone I know has had some kind of flu bug, it must be going around. I hope you find comfort and peace with your memories. I wish I lived close by I could go out birding with you. Take good care of yourself!

  2. It is hard to be alone and deal with both physical and emotional grief, with no one to provide little human kindnesses like make a cup of tea, for example. I wish you well, Sondra. That's all I can do.

  5. I hope your ailments pass soon though I know the grief will never go away. I'm glad you have your dogs for company at least. There is much love for you in your community of blog followers! We know how strong you are and that the end of 2020 will be a far cry from how things are now.
