I have nothing left in the can, I am well and truly spent. I feel like escaping to a peaceful place where I can just disappear from the world for a bit. I can walk amongst the trees, sleep under the stars, listen to the birds, breathe in the crisp clean air & admire the natural beauty of this world.
I would love nothing more than to be able to dismiss the world for a while, find myself a cosy corner & immerse myself in one or many of the books that's have been sitting on my shelf waiting for me to read. I would consume the beautifully woven words and let my mind wander to places far from the madding crowd. I can't remember the last time I did that, it's been such a long, long time.
This last 4 months have the been probably some of the most challenging months I've experienced at work. On top of this there have been several sad events within my family have made these months some of the most emotional. You know the saying,"When it rains it pours" .... well.... it's been doing a helluva lot of raining in my life of late. I feel a bit like the donkey Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. Like theres this big, wet gloomy rain cloud hovering over my head following me around.
I am in a quandary over what I should do. I don't like to give up but I also need to self preserve. I am beat, the brain is tired and I think it's time for a change.


oh i am sorry you having such a tough row to walk...what is something you can do for yourself...it is important to care for youself...esp if you are a giver as soon enough you will have nothing left to give...
ReplyDeleteYeh, I know! I will be alright. I am trying hard to make time for myself. Thanks for your warm words Brian, you're so kind.
DeleteAw...I'm so sorry it's been hard the last few months. I hope you can find some solitude and restoration for yourself. Sometimes just saying that is what you need and want is the first step.
ReplyDeleteBe kind to yourself. Do what you need to do. And know that you are admired and loved. xo
Thank you so much Betsy for your heartfelt words, they are just what I needed to read tonight. Warm regards Katherine x
