Stuff


The day started out so well.

and slowly, so slowly, things got hard.

I feel like sometimes this time of ye
ar should be so happy and joyful, and I'm just not feeling that. I know I'm not the only one. This time of year is hard for many people.

This city is gre
at, and I love it so much, but it's also filled with a lot of memories. Memories of people I use to know. Things I use to do. Places I use to spend time. all of these things make me remember how things use to be, or people I now miss.

Sometimes I wonder if I will ever not miss things. It seems like I spend
a lot of time missing things, places, and people. a friend of mine told me last week not to dwell so much on the future, or the past, because life is good right now.

Th
at's what I need to remember every day. Things are good right now.

I thought I would post
a photo of Chloe and my room mates dog Bebo :) The two of them together make me laugh. Goofy girls.

hi Michele,
I've found that when I'm feeling lonely (or just plain low) nothing makes me feel better quite like visiting a ridiculously silly website full of videos of kids (and some critters!) laughing. If you haven't already seen it, I recommend going to cutethingslaughing dot com. Hopefully it will cheer you up :)

well said. you speak of a universal truth... it's hard to let go of the past. it's hard to focus on the present. Plus, when it's so gloomy, I just want the sunshine back!

Oh boy..do i understand this. 2009 has been a heavy year.

All i can say is that the memories come and go spardocily...on a daily basis. But i think eventually time heals all wounds.

It's hard to stay focused on the present, even when the present life is so happy.

Chin up, i hope you feel better soon.

This is a post I wish I could write on my blog, but I don't allow myself.
So thank you, for putting into words publicly what I think silently.

you know I get it.

I hear you too!!

It's a little hard to put those feelings on "my sleeve". The merriest time of year, my butt, life goes on.

Cheers!

I feel for you. But you are so inspiring to me, lady. I am moving back to the u.s. and considering giving up on selling my crafts, but then what do i do with myself? I want to go home but home is not the same.
