Whoa…is the best word to start this entry. So much has happened, is happening, in my life, these days. I think most of what I’m feeling is in my head, because I internalize a lot. Some might say I do it too much. I think it is this way, for me, because I am a writer. I am to feel things deeply, then I am to write about it. When I write it is for my readers/followers and for ME. See I figured out, a while ago that WRITING is a form of therapy that works for me. It's the reason why I started journaling decades ago. Getting some, if not all, of what is in my head, out on paper…helps begin healing and restoration for me. One example is something that is happening right now. My father has inoperable Brain Cancer and cannot do much for himself these days…and at first I wasn’t journaling about it and as a Daddy’s Girl, I was struggling to not cry every time I thought about it all. But then I started journaling about it and talking to my friends about my thoughts & feelings about my Dad, and a peace started to come over me. So journaling, weekly therapy, venting/talking to my small circle of friends & husband, and PRAYER keeps helping get through the rough days. Better days are ahead, period.
