…and stressed, overwhelmed, drained and exhausted.
excuses. excuses.
that’s all.
i don’t know…same shit, different day. pretty much unchanged since my last blog post, hence my lack of blogging lately. of course, i’ve started about 10 blog posts since then — all which came across as too bitchy. too whiney. too ungrateful. so it’s now evolved to this. pure and simple honesty.
i’ve been…
getting over being sick. server hijacking. workshop. workshop. and more workshop. switching cameras. nursing CEUs. house hunting. still no address in tampa. damn. special ed law researching. preparing for tampa school transition. MD appointments. dentist appointments. finding time to read the happiness project. trying to remember the little things that need to be accomplished every day. not shooting. hate not shooting. longing for spring and therefore, still hiding indoors. occasional blog surfing to avoid dealing with what i really should be dealing with.
did i mention itchy scalp. imposed by stress? maybe?
and then i read her blog and do my best to soak in every bit of her goodness and wonderful, amazing, incredible spirit.
and smack myself a hundred times. or more. and remind myself to stop bitching and whining. remind myself how grateful i am for each and every bit of each and every day. shit…i’m grateful to be overwhelmed.
then i get back to simply plugging along. and knowing that in the end, it will all work out.
yes…
it will all work out…
just fine.
the end.
ETA: i came across this quote on my friend, carrie’s, FB wall. oh how i love it…
you don’t have a soul. you are a soul. you have a body.

Warms my soul to see your blog pop up in my reader. Shitty days or great ones, I adore your words and your heart. xoxo
Hang in there – you’re AMAZING and an inspiration to MANY!!
funny stuff, came across this photogs blog post today, I think you would like her poem. http://networkedblogs.com/L72e from one overwhelmed chic to another, I hope you find some peace. I have decided to take the rest of the day off and read, or at least until 3:30 when it is time to pick up the kids and that can of worms!
she definitely has a way of changing your perspective.
hang in there. ((((hugs)))))
hang in there deb. we’re all rooting for you
you took the words right out of my mouth. love the photo.
Sigh.
I celebrate your honesty
and bright spirit.
I am right there with you!
love that cs lewis quote… and your honesty, always
Love this and I’m on pins and needles waiting to hear back about your workshop! I thought about it all weekend wishing I was there.
Deb,
wierd that i have been worried about you when i don’t know you. (i recommended the book Northern Magic to you, hope you enjoyed it). Hope life has settled down a bit. have you been reading Me Ra’s blog…she & her daughter were so ill. really puts life into perspective. All the BIG stresses suddenly seem LITTLE next to that. anyway, let us know how you are doing and how the workshop went. and this week, get out and shoot- anything, just shoot. art= free therapy!
