The only person I have shared this blog with is Natalie. I was just looking through my list of posts and wondered if someone started reading if they would think I’m such a whiner!
So here’s some wonderful stuff that’s happened lately:
- Because life has slowed, my anxiety is better.
- Being in the hospital with Catherine was an “in the moment” experience that while not enjoyable, was good for both Catherine and I. I was mostly calm and not worried, which probably helped her, and though she wasn’t feeling good, we laughed a good bit and enjoyed each other’s company.
- I have had an amazing number of really meaningful email exchanges since this COVID-19 things started last week. I followed up on two of the very emotionally intense emails with phone calls. But I think we almost feel more comfortable, even as long-time friends, bearing our souls via keyboard. Maybe this is why letter writing used to be such a big thing. I like being able to edit my thoughts, so actually writing on a piece of paper stresses me.
- The weather is beautiful and even before “social distancing” I was taking long walks with the dog as a time to think and pray and ponder. This helped my anxiety, too.
- My kids are going to be fabulous cooks when this is all done. Maybe I can give up cooking except on the weekends. Of course we’re going to get fat on the homemade ice cream, caramel, waffles and other baked goods they like to make. I’ll have to run and walk more.
- My house is getting really clean and organized!
- My family is talking and laughing together a lot more of the time because we’re all home and not really getting on each other’s nerves too much (yet).
Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
(and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but
the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by
searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) –
it’s still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself during the coronavirus scare!
Hello!
I was trying to figure out if yours was an automated message from some salesperson trying to sell me optimization of my site or writing skills or whatever–those are the only “comments” I’ve ever gotten before. I thought I was just hiding in this little corner of the internet, blogging a personal journal to myself that no one sees. Anyway, thanks for reaching out.
I am using “Blog Inn.” When you’re in WordPress and you click on “Themes” (under the “Appearance” menu), it’s just one of the basic free themes in WordPress. I didn’t need anything fancy for what I was trying to do.
Best wishes with your site!
