return to blogging

Hello! 

I want to thank each of my readers for staying tuned in and especially a few of you that sent messages checking up on me.  I really appreciate it!!

I had a really difficult time during the holidays this year, and several factors made my depression even worse than it typically gets during that time.  I needed a break from everything.  I considered not blogging anymore.  I even considered not scrapbooking anymore. 

After quite a bit of introspection, and lots of understanding talks with my absolutely wonderful hubby, I decided to forge on.  It took me awhile to start again, but I completed a few pages.  Then, I had a major setback, which I plan to discuss tomorrow, and I fell into another tailspin. 

Over the weekend, I made myself start again.  I'm not overly impressed with any of my pages, but I am glad I did them.  Being creative is very cathartic to me.  I am so happy to have a creative outlet to help channel my feelings.

I may not be back to Monday through Friday blogs for awhile, but I am back to blogging.  Thank you, again, to all who read my words, feel my feelings, laugh at my jokes, smile with me, and extend your friendship across the internet to me.  I really, really appreciate you all.

Until tomorrow, thanks for always stopping by. :)

  1. I'm glad to see you back...even if it's limited.
    I missed you... and your creativity!
    It would be a shame if you had to give up scrapbooking, but you have to do what is right for you. Most importantly you need to take care of yourself: mind, body, and soul!
    Sending you much love and hugs!

  2. Glad that you're back to blogging! I'm sorry to hear that you've been facing struggles and setbacks. Take care of yourself and do what you need to do. Even though crafting and blogging sometimes feel stressful to me, when I step back I realize that (again, for ME), crafting and blogging are actually stress relievers, not the cause of stress. Best wishes.
