Y'all, I am tired. And for what may be the first time in however many years I've been writing here, I just don't feel like doing it.
I am not only not inspired, I'm filled with who cares? and what's the point?
Nothing's wrong in any specific way, and in fact, the entire family except for Rachel who was not feeling well, met up for supper for a Gibson birthday celebration since everyone was sick on his birthday. It was a good time, although overwhelming with noise and stimulation as these things go, but when we all said goodbye and there were so very many hugs (if there are fifteen people and each one of them gives fourteen hugs, how many hugs were given?) I was happy.
I didn't get a picture of Owen but he has grown another inch, at least.
And that's it for me tonight.
Love...Ms. Moon
Missed you today... hope tomorrow is a better one!
ReplyDeleteRecharge, MerMer! I saw a picture of my nephew on facebook. Great nephew, actually. I couldn't believe it. He has a full beard!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh god. That'll be next for Owen.
DeleteThat's 210 hugs. what a great birthday! The wisteria is looking pretty. Have a nap.
ReplyDeleteI knew it was a lot.
Deletestunning photos!
ReplyDeleteSometimes one must take a break from blogworld. Gather rosebuds - sit with the birds and flies and empty your mind. M-T- space- that is something we could all do that might benefit our well being.
The kids are adorable!
Did you catch Maggie's glamor gown? That child.
DeleteYou still gave us poetry in your pictures, those beautiful children, those majestic trees. Rest up my friend. We’re not going anywhere. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHard times for all of us right now, I think.
DeleteMaybe a holiday would do you good a proper holiday not just a change of scenery is there anywhere you have always wanted to go, perhaps now is the time .
ReplyDeleteSounds good but in reality, traveling is extremely anxiety-producing for me. We'll do a little bit this year, at least.
DeleteIf these blahs aren’t normal for you, and you aren’t enjoying things that have always brought you pleasure, maybe a visit to a supportive doctor might be a good idea if they don’t go away soon?
ReplyDeleteYour words and pictures, not to mention your family and your obvious love for each other, are so lovely to see! I’m glad you have them!

You must be new here, Dee. I am quite well versed in the ways of depression and anxiety. Had 'em all my life. I am on medication. I do talk about these things.
DeleteThank you for coming by and taking the time to comment. Our family is so very lucky in having each other.
It's okay not to feel like writing once in a while. The pictures make up for it just fine.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten I took the picture where the storm was about to come in. The trees always look so dramatic when that's happening.
DeleteI think we are all tired, Mary. The piling on of one atrocity after another just wears us down. Hope we can all rest, relax, recharge and renew (and resist).
ReplyDeleteYes. We are all tired and I worry about how we are going to get through the next four years without all of us losing our minds.
DeleteWhich is why I don't post every day, may even go a week between. I mean, who cares about the minutia of my daily life when it's the same week after week. I used to have grand thoughts, would mull over stuff but not so much these last years. I'm not working so can't write about that. But I do love your wisteria arbor.
ReplyDeleteI think I do write about the minutia of my life simply because it helps me to remember that I am doing things, I am getting a few things done. I don't know.
DeleteSometimes I have no desire to post and sometimes I have no desire to leave comments. It comes and goes in waves. I'm guessing everyone feels like that at times. It's okay. You don't owe us anything. You do what works best for you sweetie.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Pixie.
DeleteI can understand how it would be hard to come up with all the magic you put out every day but please know there are some of us (73 year old widow in Washington state) who look forward to reading your blog every day. Rest and recharge and hope to continue following along remotely. ❤️
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you! That is so sweet.
DeleteWonderful photos. The grandchildren are growing up and celebrating Owen with lots of hugs and love sounds perfect. Owen looks very happy.
ReplyDeleteYour property enclosed with picket fencing is magical. It says, enter my domain and place of joy where everything grows beautifully.
After 3 days of rain, I felt discouraged...but today the sun is shining and all is well. I am fickle that way. Aren't we all? And that is ok.
It was Gibson's birthday party. Easy to mix 'em up. I do it. And I think he was very happy. He is the quintessential middle child and it's important to celebrate him and him alone sometimes, I think. He is a loving child.
DeleteLove the wisteria, and of course the picture of Gibson's outing with the family. I've had days like this recently too, where it seems a monumental effort to crank out a post. As we used to say in Zen, just keep showing up. Something will happen.
ReplyDeleteI never suffer from lack of anything to say. I hardly ever know what I'm going to write about when I sit down but the thoughts do come as I meander through the words. Yesterday, I just did not want to. Which, as I said, was so very rare for me.
DeleteI hear you. I don't post every day, and some days I don't even comment. There are even days when I don't read. Sometimes the world needs to borrow our energy, and sometimes we need the world to do us a service. I do hope that you are getting the recharges required over there.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was less obsessive about reading and commenting and I suppose writing my own blog every day. But this is who I am.
