That seems like an appropriate title for this blog at the moment. I haven't felt the motivation or had the time to write for my blog this year. Normally I would write about the month just gone, but I did want to be more positive in my blogging this year, and it really hasn't been the kind of month that has many positives in it. So I didn't write about it. There has been a difficult and ongoing situation with trying to sort out a caring package for my Wife, that will carry us forward. And the difficulties in sorting that out, have triggered a visit from the Black Dog (depression not a black labrador).
It would be easy to give up the blog, with everything that's going on at the moment, but I do enjoy writing it, and so I'm going to return to it when I can. Hopefully next month.
I apologise for not keeping up to date with the blogs I follow. Again, please bear with.
I did manage to get a dressing session in on the first of February. This means that I'm afraid that I failed in my attempt to dress during every calender month of the year. I had two planned sessions at end of the month that were foiled by caring issues, so in the end, I was greatful to get a clear morning to spend dressed. So I do have some new pics to share,which I think are quite nice.
I will hopefully be back to full on bloggyness, next month.
Until then I will leave you with these piccies.
I'm sorry to hear all this, Dee. Things will improve. Sending hugs and an email. Nice pics, nice smile, by the way. Sue xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment, lovely email and hug. Some things are very slowly starting to happen on the caring front, although I think it will be a while before we get any actual help with things. But I'm hopeful something is happening..

Oh, that old black dog ... we ought to give it a name. The problem with giving ourselves targets is that achieving a target doesn't have the same relevance as missing one! And, while my knowledge of your situation is limited, I know from my own experiences just how really tough it must be for you. As Sue says, things will improve ... the rain doesn't help, but here the snowdrops and primroses are brightening the view (not to mention my old potted rose that is in flower four months early!!!)Take care, Nikki xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Nikki. I'm definitely done with targets. I'm just going to go with the flow, from now on. The rain is definitely not helping things. We have a persica rose that's bloomed all year long, and the camelias are in flower, but I'm yearning for some gentle warmth and dryness and the first signs of Spring. Our primrose are not out yet.

Deena, It sounds like you’ve had a really challenging month, and I completely understand why the blog had to take a back seat. Caring for a loved one while managing your own needs is a lot to handle, and it’s okay that blogging and monthly dressing plans had to be adjusted. I’m glad you still found a moment for yourself on the first of February, it’s a small victory, but an important one. Take things at your own pace, and don’t feel pressured to be “full on bloggyness” until the time is right. Your readers, including me, will be here when you’re ready, and I’m looking forward to seeing your new pics whenever you share them.
