Blogosphere

So, I am feeling better. Lighter, happier, more optimistic, but not for the reasons I thought I would.

Don't get me wrong...lunch was great and the company even better!

But you, the people who read my blog and the blogs that I read and the connections I have made in just a few short weeks blows me AWAY! The encouragement that you all give and the permission to feel mad, sad, angry, uplifted, motivated...whatever! It is truly a blessing.

I started this blog and thought to myself that no one would ever really even know it exists, but hopefully I can honor Ella Grace in the process. I never anticipated that I would make friends and get SO much from those friends.

I just (while writing this post) received an email from a friend reminding me of our "mantra", "Worry doesn't add peace to tomorrow, but it does drain the strength from today" (She is hilarious and advised me to chant it out loud so my mind wouldn't wander and the added side effect is that people would leave me the heck alone!) But it's so true. I can be sad, that's okay and even understandable, but part of my "problem" comes from worrying too much about tomorrow.

Maybe I should start changing out loud!!!

Thank you dear friends! Hope your days are blessed!

I feel the same way! I dedicated a post to say thank you as well. I never thought anyone would want to even read my blog let alone participate in it. I created it as a way to reach out not expecting anyone else to reach back.

Well you have another new friend in me to celebrate when you are happy, listen when you are sad, support you when you need it and learn everything you care to share about Ella Grace. I think it is beautiful what you are doing by honoring her with this blog. You are a great Mom!

I know how it is. I thought i'd just write to get out my emotions, and never really thought i'd find people who know what it's like and help me through.

I lik ethat mantra and maybe I should start chanting it. :)

I'm glad you are feeling a little better!

It makes me happy to know that you are feeling better. I hope it continues more often for you.

So glad your days are looking better. I know the sad days will always come. You're right -- the blog is an excellent place to share your feelings and this community is terrific! I've been richly blessed by it, too. :)

I have to apologize for being such a horrible blogger lately. I have had a hard time getting to everyone.

After I started blogging about sixteen months ago, I couldn't imagine walking away from this community of loving women. They truly have the biggest hearts. I am so glad that you are a part of the "Blogosphere," and look forward to encouraging you along your journey. :)

God Bless.
((hugs))
