Thanks everyone. My wife appreciates all the cares and comments. Maybe I'll be able to convince her to come hang here with us rather than on Facebook with her mom.
I hear you. Went through my own anniversaries of those lost last month and it knocked me out for two weeks straight before I could get my head around writing again.
Don't let guilt be one of the emotions. We feel what we feel. We remember, usually not when we'd like to, and often times, at the worst possible time.
I filled my time with memories- as many good ones as I could pack into my quiet time. I focused on watching the birds at the feeder outside my office window. Did the bare minimum at work. Tried to enjoy time with friends.
Eventually, it passed.
I've found that sometimes talking to them helps, even though they can't hear. Do the things that give you joy and peace, and most of all, forgive yourself for whatever wasn't done, wasn't said, or conversely, was. Let lavender winds ease your pain and remember, we're all here if you need us.
It's past midnight, I broke my streak. How could I forget my goal? If only I had gotten around to it sooner... well nothing to it but to keep trying.
I have two scenes left in chapter 12 of emancipation. I finished the micro-fiction challenge today and started the 5-day prompt challenge. I am on week 44 of the promptly poetry challenge. just a few more weeks to go.
Man even have accomplished that I am really disappointed to have screwed up the challenge I had given myself. At one point I had a streak of one hundred twenty seven days of writing in a row. I barely made it over a week in blogging. What is my problem? I may not have blogged, but I did write. I have written almost every day for over three months. come on I have a lot to be proud of.
