When Chuck and I got to the condo a few weeks ago, I walked straight to the living room, opened that sliding door and just sobbed. My sister in February; my nieces fiance' in 2019 three days before their wedding; my dad just one month later; Chuck's mom last year; the stress at work; covid; Chuck's cancer... it all just poured out. Chuck stood there and rubbed my back for a few minutes.
I took a deep breath... it's been an overwhelming few years. I feel bad for always writing about it. At least I feel like I'm always writing about it. But I know I'm not alone. It seems like everyone has had enormous things happen in their personal lives the last few years.
And speaking of that, how are you doing?
What's been happening in your life? Are you okay?

Oh Cindy, I just responded to you on my blog where you had left a comment about feeling "overwhelmed". I hope you will go back and read what I wrote to you. I am praying for you now as I know how it feels to be so overwhelmed with grief and frustrations and just tired from all the stress of life. Praying that today God will comfort you and help you to find that time alone with Him...to just "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). He is there for you. Just rest in Him. It's okay to share this with us. There are many here who will pray for you. Sending (((hugs))) and prayers your way today. God bless you my friend.
These past few years have been winnowing. That's what I would say. 💙
Cindy, its okay to write about what is going on.That way we will know how to pray for you.
I myself am doing okay. I really don't have much going on. I've been trying to stay off social media or rather not spend as much time scrolling Instagram as much. I'm want to devote more time to Bible study and reading some good books which include old classics and modern books. I'm currently reading Little Women and I bought a Little Women devotional which I just love.
You and your family will be in my prayers.
Oh friend... I could not relate more. It all just keeps pouring in & the dams flood open. Life is tough.
Glad you have a wonderful husband to help support you through it all!
((Hugs)) It's important for you to talk about it and we are here to listen. That is just so much to go through. I can't say that I'm okay and like you said, everyone has had things happen in their personal life the last few years besides dealing with Covid. I will keep you in my prayers. You take care and God Bless.
Breathe deeply. Your blog is your space to write, to share, to express. No one has to stay here if we choose not to. It's yours and if writing heals, helps -- write.
You have had a boatload of loss in the past months and years, not to mention Covid, wedding (joyful, but not without stress), a war across the sea... but mostly, home. You don't need us to justify your feelings, they are yours. Treat yourself well and kindly. Tears release toxins, they say.
I am so grateful you have Chuck to rub your back and just be there.
I am glad you were able to let go for a bit. It is always good for the soul. I am doing okay and just keep counting my blessings. God is good! xo
Oh my dear... How sorry I am to read all this sadness. I'm holding you ask in prayer.i hope the cpap is helping Beth.
That's a lot of stuff! Life is so hard sometimes, but I know you know Jesus and He is with you always! Praying for you.
When things get stacked up like that it can get overwhelming. I don't think you should not talk about it or cover up. That's not good for you. Sharing can be part of the healing process, too. Glad you could get away and have a good cry. :(
We are good. With the snow gone there are lots of physical labor here now. Feeling those tired muscles!!
I feel the very same way. It feels like I am only ever sharing bad news, LIFE's struggles on my blog. But sometimes life feels like a seemingly never-ending series of calamities.
I am sorry for difficulties. I am sure your emotions were just a release of all the feelings you have been dealing with for so long. About once a month these days, I have a good cry. Maybe not quite that often but fairly regularly. And then I am ready to keep trying to tackle the stumbling blocks on my path.
