I am in my 40s and hope to be as stylish, beautiful & driven as you are when I’m your age. I’ve always admired how much you workout & your healthy eating! I experienced a difficult family situation / loss a couple of months before Covid... so I was already in an anxious & sad place at the beginning of the pandemic... it has been a rough 16 months. I few months ago I found Nedra Tawwab on Instagram (she’s a therapist and has a new book out) and she has really helped me! Check out her posts sometime! I definitely understand the need to take a break to take care of yourself.

As to this post, I believe i had that coffee table in 1976 from Thayer Coggin — it was 4x4 burlwood (?sp) and low (forget the height) — i loved it but eventually it was too big to keep—the one you found looks just like it (wood tone and size). :)<br />Take care, Maureenmaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667092790011095586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326200997366031462.post-30004258129109454502021-04-22T20:02:21.293-04:002021-04-22T20:02:21.293-04:00You may be going through one of the more difficult...You may be going through one of the more difficult stages of grieving. They’re all hard, can’t be rushed and it is necessary. My emotions would be effected when ever I was entering a new stage. Once you go through a few of them you will recognize both the grief and growth. I am sorry that you have to go through this. Considering all the other things that are going on around us for the past year it must be even more difficult. You are loved and respected by more people than you realize.

Change is good! I too have been in a funk for several months and finally (I pray) I’m starting to feel more joyful. Unfortunately I’ve hit a different kind of depression when I went shopping for a new bathing suit this past weekend. Yikes! This morning I googled how to lose 5lb and this afternoon I ate chocolate. We’re going to Sea Island to celebrate my 68th birthday this coming weekend and I’m half hoping for cloudy breezy weather so I can keep my cover-up on. You are an inspiration, your readers adore you and we wish we could give back. English is not my first language so I hesitate to post because I struggle with spelling, grammar and sentence structure. I couldn’t help but to comment when I read your post. Hugs!

All of us adore you gifted ability to design and put things together (home, fashion, etc), but many of us too share a lot of life experiences with you. It will get better, not as soon as you would like. It will make you question yourself - DON'T!!!! We are not responsible for other's life decisions. You can't make someone do something or not do something. Jerks will be jerks. Choosing a jerk doesn't mean you are stupid or a jerk. It simply means they are responsible for their stupid choices to hurt people. All of us only wish we could bring you the light and joy you bring to us.

I love your name changing closings too. You are an inspiration, and I am sorry I never told you that. Keep on keeping on. You may not feel like yourself, you may feel like you are dragging, and uninspiring to us. But what we see is a lovely, funny, talented, honest, hard working woman who truly is a light in our day.

I love what you do. The world does indeed feel fragile even with the little bits of good news (vaccines up, the economy coming back) so I try to look for the hope. It’s a tough time.

I have also dealt with depression after a terrible tragedy and know of no other way than to just "keep on keeping on," and embrace anything that distracts, entertains, uplifts, and makes you feel better (like your posts do for all of us!). I truly appreciate your honesty.

I think 99% of us deal with mild depression from time to time and this past year has been extremely difficult for you and a lot of other people. Hang in there my friend, continue your exercise, continue your postings, even though at times you feel they’re mindless, we still love hearing from you. You lift us up with your talent, your wit, your humor and I’m hoping that after reading all of the wonderful responses from your followers, you too feel lifted up. Know that I’m thinking of you and I’m really looking forward to seeing and meeting you one day. You may know that Rose has been helping me with my house in Sugarloaf, you referred her to me way back when....she has been a god send and I’ve loved working with her. Any who, I hope the two of you will come work your magic on the insides once the house is finished.
