….on being AWOL
After a week of being away from my laptop I am finally ready to return. For those of you who have inquired…I am fine. I have had one of “those” weeks. You all know the kind I am talking about. I have found it hard to express my Gratitude. Oh, I am thankful for so many things each and every day but I have found myself a little down and cranky. The weather is getting to me…I am an outdoor kind of girl. I need sunshine! It has been a cloudy gloomy week and I tend to internalize that. I have stayed busy with spring cleaning and quilting, both of which I love. I just haven’t wanted to communicate. The old if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all! I had my grandchildren last week everyday. My daughter went in for surgery on Monday. She is fine. There were some minor complications but everything is good. I found myself getting cranky with the children. Now I love those kids and I have to say it was all just me. Sweetie and I even had a few squabbles. So I have spent a week oiling all my cranky parts and I feel so much better. Today is a beautiful SUNNY day and God knows how truly thankful I am for that! I am Thankful for the common sense to realize my own shortcomings, to know when I am just too cranky to live. (LOL) I am Thankful that even though there are dark gloomy days for all of us, eventually the sun shines again. I am anxiously awaiting spring and all the new hope it brings! Have a great day!
I’m relieved to find a post today … have been wondering what you’ve been up to lately, but I fully understand the need to ‘take a break’ and get away from the computer at times. Seems like you had lots on your plate with your daughter’s surgery and taking care of the grandkids. I’m happy she’s doing well and thrilled you’ve got some SUNSHINE at long last!
Hugs and blessings,
~Hi Storyteller! Thanks so much for checking on me and caring. I really appreciate it! It seems like I just need the sun to function, a couple weeks without it and I am down for the count. We had one sunny day and now it is back to rain…ugh. I am looking forward to later in the week when it is going to be nice! HUGS!…….Mo
Glad the sun came out for you again! It’s so frustrating when you know it’s you, but you still can’t seem to pull yourself out of the your funk. Happy spring!
Xandra
~Thanks Xandra! It is so frustrating to be in that place. I do need the sun. I am getting quite impatient for spring to arrive, weatherwise! Hugs!…Mo
So glad to have you back. I understand how gloomy weather can effect a person. I am one of them. Up here we have had a little sun each day even though it was cold. I am glad your daughter is dong well. We were in your area yesterday and saw the results of the rain you have been getting. Take care and like you I am praying for spring.
Love and Hugs,
Joyce
~Hi Joyce! I am with you praying for spring. You will have to let me know sometime when you are coming…we could meet for a coffee or soda or just go all out and have lunch! Hugs to you Sweet One!……Mo
So glad to see you are back - and I do understand how the weather affects your “mood” . It is so wonderful to finally see the sun!
~Hey Girlfriend…You know me too well! The sun for one day is better than none! Very rainy again! Hugs!…..Mo
Phyl and I have been discussing your absense from the blogging world. Have your ears been burning? LOL. No, we both were just concerned that something was dreadfully wrong since it is so unlike you to not post regularly. I understand though. We all have those times, and we all need a break from our computers at times. I’m glad you are okay.
I’m thankful your daughter is okay.
Hugs,
Betty
~Hello Betty. You are such a Sweet Lady! I really am fine, and so grateful for all the concern! I think I am starved for that great vitamin D we get from the sun! Hugs and Blessings for you dear!……….Mo
Oh do I ever know what it is like to have one of them weeks! It was weird not seeing you around and I am happy to know that you are ok!
Wishing you loads of sunshine and hugs~
~Hi Phyl! You are a doll! Thanks for the good wishes! Sunshine and hugs right back at ya!…………Mo
I am glad you are back and feeling less CRANKY. Somedays are like that but a week. Oh my we should have visited the Wizard. I hope you like that movie. Somedays I feel like Dorothy, I can understand your love of quiliting but spring cleaning. Come on down to Tn and you can love spring cleaning around here as much as you can stand. Glad to here your daughter is doing well and kids and hubby can hit the wrong buttons when one is already cranky.
Most of all, I am grateful that you suffered from nothing worse. Peace be with you even without sunshine.
~Hi Dianne, well it is raining here AGAIN please send wizard!! I know it is strange but I do love to spring clean. Washing the walls and cupboards and drawers. It makes me feel less guilty about being outdoors all summer. I love to be in the gardens and getting dirty when the weather is nice. You are so right about the cranky buttons, those closest to us just know how to push them best! Have a grand day! HUGS!……Mo
Glad you are feeling better. I can so relate to being cranky from time to time. It just seems to happen. Have a great evening.
~Hi Sandee, cranky is me..LOL. I am just one of those people who NEED the sun. We still have lots of rain and flooding but I will take the one sunny day, for now! HUGS!……..Mo
I was starting to get a little worried myself when I saw that you have not posted.
I can relate to enjoying the sunshine and the lack of same can cause a “blue funk”
~Hi Mike…I like that, “the blue funk” yep that was me in my Big Blue Funk!…………..Mo
