I just wanted to thank you all for such heartfelt comments on my recent post. You can't imagine what that support means to me right now. I wish I could reply to each of you individually (those for whom I have email info, at least), but that lack of response has no connection to how grateful I am for wise words and understanding.
So many of you have had similar experiences or periods in life when things aren't going well, whether it is physical or emotional stress or just an overload. You shared much encouragement, many positive thoughts and ideas, and perhaps most of all, helped validate the mix of feelings and frustration I'm experiencing. For those of you who periodically or still are in the "dark zone," I encourage you to read the comments on that post. And, I extend my own hopes that should you be in that spot now, your shadows soon lift.
I will be back soon with a new post. Meanwhile, visiting when I can and enjoying seeing spring come to life in your worlds.
Thank you.
xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteLovely post, dear friend! Yes, many of us go through our own difficulties, even myself, which surprises some people because my blog is encouraging, witty, just basically positive. I do this to hopefully make others smile, laugh or just see the positive side of life.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing, it is always wonderful to be grateful. God bless you.
You give so much in your writing that it's good to know people appreciate that, even when they don't think of saying it. Get well, stay well!
ReplyDeleteAll my love to you! Life has been so terribly trying lately for you. We all wish we could waive a magic wand and make things better.
ReplyDeleteKeep on plugging ahead, Jeannie. Spring is coming, and it will be easier to get out and smell the roses, first figuratively and then literally.
ReplyDeleteHere's to lifting shadows away and letting the sunshine in, Jeanie! 🌞 🌞 🌞
ReplyDelete💕💕💕💕💕
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you {{{hugs}}}
All the best Jan
Sweet words! Well done.
ReplyDelete...take care and be well Jeanie. Each that my feet solidly hit the ground and I don't fall over is a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful Sunday, and good week ahead, Jeanie. love you, friend. : )
ReplyDeleteBeing thankful is a blessing. I hope you are better each day and keeping your thoughts positive while you rest your mind and body. Sending hugs...........
ReplyDeleteMay the shadows clear, and the joy of the springtime be with you.
ReplyDeleteHello Jeanie,
ReplyDeleteYou are loved in the blogging world, we all want you feeling better.
Take care! Have a great day and happy week ahead.
You’re welcome. Our pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about all your troubles. I hope time will heal, and you just have to take it easy. Small walks should be very good. I see from the description of the weather that we are living in similar surroundings. I hope it will be a little bit warmer so we can spend more time outside. The sun is a great healer.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
A late thank you. Miss you.
ReplyDeleteWe are always with you.
ReplyDeleteGet better. Sending hugs too. Janice
ReplyDeleteVery touching to read this
ReplyDeleteYou’re welcome. Love you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better now. Sometimes life can be quite difficult. Cheers to the bright side.
ReplyDeleteOh dear one, be kind and gentle to yourself. Listen to what your body is whispering. Embrace peace, quiet, and grace.
ReplyDeleteSending you love this morning, praying for God's healing touch in all the ways that matter most.

Life is full of ups and downs!
ReplyDeleteI just read your previous post I am sorry I am late getting here.
ReplyDeleteBe kind to yourself get help if needed. Health issues as we age are bigger than the physical. I wish I could send you a hug. I will keep you in my thoughts.
Cathy
As you heal and walk I know you know we walk with you in spirit and love. Take care dear one!
ReplyDeleteRecovering from major surgery - and all of the other bother that life sends - is HARD. You bring joy with your posts and we are all human and the good ones are here to help each other.
ReplyDeleteJeanie, somehow I missed your last post. So much of what you said resonated with me, although I have had nowhere near the mountains to climb that you have faced. I admire the way you face it head-on, recognize depression without giving in to it, and continue to seek what is good in your life. I hope that the headaches soon leave you alone, and that the coming of better weather brings more good things your way. I feel privileged to have found you and your blog. Your words, even the hard ones, make my days richer.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! Keep your chin up, Jeanie! I am rooting for you!
ReplyDeleteIt’s wonderful to see your wide set of blog friends who are rallying to support your well-being. I hope the erratic arrival of Michigan spring will soon stabilize so that you can get outside in better weather. At least today is sunny!!
ReplyDeleteYou always shine upon us so now it is our turn to shine upon you. I hope the sun shines and the daffodils begin to bloom. Praying for you my friend. Feel better.
ReplyDeleteWe all have to stick together because we all go through tough times occasionally. I hope you're feeling better and in a better place too. Did you get the same weather that Mae showed? Wow, it looked terrible. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI hope you’re feeling a bit better now. Sometimes you have no other choice but just to ride out the storm.
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my morning ceremony, and sending healing energy. We have the best blog family and I know that I/we really do care about each other. Hugs and Love.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear from you and isn't it amazing en heartwarming how blogging can be such a source of support and kindness?! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhen Ingo fell so severely sick the blogger-world kept me going - we are a community, right. A "real" hug would´ve thrown me down but the virtual ones lifted me up so I was strong enough for Ingo. ....
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are buoyed in spirits by the positive vibes sent your way ... and the signs of spring in nature ... I hope it will only get better ... slowly but surely. I find spring is a huge boost right now. Luv it.
ReplyDeletewe are all cut from the same cloth!! i ALWAYS enjoy your entries, you write so well and share wonderful ideas and inspiration!!
