Why yes, I know I've been MIA. It's a multitude of reasons. I can wax poetic about how I photographed a wedding last weekend and then spent the multitude of hours editing them. Yes, I could say that and it would be absolutely true.
However, using that as an excuse would be a total stretch of the truth. The reason I've been absent is the fact that I've just been struggling. I am torn many times about saying too much on in my posts because I don't like to air my dirty laundry. The flip side is that I have always operated my blog with total honesty. So I'll just say it.....I'm struggling. Big time.
How can I sum it up???? I just think that there has to be more to life than this. I have moments of joy, peace and happiness. But the rest of life is just hard. So many aspects of my life is just wrong that I feel as if I am drowning. I've written my blog posts about my plans. And I still am working in that direction (ok, I've been bad and I haven't been utterly disciplined with my writing as I should be.) I just live for the good moments and try to push through the rest of the time.
I saw this sign last night and LOVED it!
Even with the foot problems I did get in a walk with my friend on the battlefield. :-) Always good o walk and talk. Wish I would have had a good camera.....it was PERFECT for photographs!!! Oh well, I grabbed one with my cellphone as we walked. (nope, I didn't break stride)
hang in there darling, I'm kinda in the blah/meh stage myself but I'm gonna fake it til I make it!
ReplyDeleteWe all struggle sometimes its best if we step back, take a moment to breathe. Best of all forgive yourself you're only human. You'll make it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're struggling. I completely understand, though. I think most of us do. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteLove the sign! HA I totally feel like registering for the zero mile fun run. I have only managed 2 miles or else my knee starts to bother me. I think you will be ok with your race this weekend despite missing your long run. Keep your head up ~ you can do it !
ReplyDeleteSweety you are sometimes so hard on yourself. Give yourself a break and you will be stronger after that. So you ran just once, but you did ran! You could have skipped that one too. Look at the positive instead of the negative.
ReplyDeleteYou will get there someday.
It happens...don't be too hard on yourself. This past week doesn't erase the weeks prior!
ReplyDeleteOh-oh, looks like you've fallen into one of my moods. Wish I had some grand advice for you, but all I can say is to keep putting one foot in front of the other and you'll get there!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Raine. Sometimes it is a good idea to take a break when struggling. Your readers will still be here cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteI feel the exact same way: there is just too much struggling going on in my life to focus on losing weight, but I feel like I have to, because that makes me unhappy too. I don't have a solution, just wanted you to know that I think I understand, and you are not alone.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are struggling. I've been there so many times before. The fact that you got one run in, is something though! Try to focus on the things you still are doing and not so much on what you aren't. Then build from there. This journey is full of ups and downs, and it sure can suck sometimes. Don't beat yourself up too much, you can do it. Hang in there.
