Y'all. I'm not doing a very good job of getting this blog off the ground am I? How in the world do I expect ANYONE to like this site if I don't put anything on it? Sheesh. I promise to do better - after the first of the year. LOL isn't that like everything in life? We'll do it tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, etc. I am the Queen of I'll Do It Later. What did Scarlett O'Hara say? "I'll think about that tomorrow". Same, Miss Scarlett, same.
It's the holidays and I still have a leeetle bit of a broken heart, but I'm A LOT better. I've been laser-focused on getting better and am being very proactive in my efforts. Good therapist, effective meds, great friends, loving family, and an enhanced relationship with God. It's working! I almost feel normal and am actually in the Christmas spirit! I think it has something to do with my friendship with Jesus.
That being said, the holidays are sometimes a yucky time of year for some people. People who are alone or broken-hearted (divorce, death of a loved one, family estrangement, being dumped, far away from loved ones, etc.) often dread the holidays and sink into a depressive state during that time. If you happen to know someone who might be feeling low or if YOU are feeling low, REACH OUT! Call, text, email, send a letter, anything! Y'all, we need each other. This year has sucked!!! And I bet you'll feel better once you connect.
This year I won't be going to the usual holiday parties and enjoying the usual holiday happy hours that I so enjoyed with The Bass Whisperer. I'm alone now. It's quieter. It's loneliness and freedom at the same time if that makes sense. I make sure my Christmas lights are already on when I get home from work so I'll feel welcome when I walk in the door. I play music. I watch those silly Hallmark movies. I read. I pray.
I sit in the quiet.
I sit in the pain.
I sit in the sorrow.
I sit in the discomfort.
I sit.
Then I stand back up and keep going. Like a boss.
