But then I tell myself I need to gain some perspective and give myself a break, as you do! Seasons if life changes are just plain hard. <br />I hope all is well now, and you have been exploring your love of photography and expressing you voice, every single day.<br />*smiles* Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-24094712120768899962012-03-16T18:24:35.183-05:002012-03-16T18:24:35.183-05:00You have much more to look forward to.

It's worth checking out if you are interested. I'll keep you in my prayers and look forward to seeing your photographs and hearing about your reading when you feel like blogging about it.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739982274914536036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-42151143524764457402012-03-04T15:28:59.219-06:002012-03-04T15:28:59.219-06:00I love that you're finding your voice!

I like how you put photography in with writing, as a way to express yourself, as well as to see the world. I use my daily journal for this - it's invaluable for me to see how I'm really feeling and thinking. I like how you show that a tiny shift can change everything. <br /><br />Most of all, you're welcome, Molly. It is weird, isn't it, how something as remote as online, can still bring feeling across it?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-13216751274227232622012-02-27T20:34:30.036-06:002012-02-27T20:34:30.036-06:00You are so worthy of so many things!!!

Open your arms and accept that and fly!!! <br /><br />Do you like to scrapbook? if so, you should check out Becky Higgins blog where she's been changing the whole concept of scrapping with Project Life. I know for me it has been a huge relief and I love the freedom it has allowed me. I thought of you just now and could see you utilizing her easy pages and your photos....your own scrapbook where you can document your photos and your journaling!!

I'm not at all sure I care for parenting adult children. And while I love the grandsons, the whole idea of being Grandma gets me down at times. I am blessed to still have healthy parents, but my role with them is evolving also. And we are coping (sometimes poorly) with Dave's mother's advancing Alzhymer's. <br /><br />My point is that each stage has it's benefits and I think you can, and should, use your incredible talents for writing and photography to express those changes. Creativity is a wonderful way of coping.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094928747500699123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-92116084987636302222012-02-27T12:48:21.300-06:002012-02-27T12:48:21.300-06:00I'm glad that you're feeling better Molly!...I'm glad that you're feeling better Molly! I do think that body chemistry changes for whatever reason can cause our thinking to change drastically, and you're right, it doesn't mean that those issues aren't real, but in those times everything is amplified. <br /><br />I'm also glad to hear that you have such an understanding dentist. One of my sons has to take a child's dose of valium before any kind of dental work other than cleanings. Having an understanding dentist has made a world of difference.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-89300926575665071322012-02-27T10:17:56.911-06:002012-02-27T10:17:56.911-06:00I somehow missed your last post, Molly, and am sor...I somehow missed your last post, Molly, and am sorry to read of your distress. We all go through and we get through it. You will as well. Grief takes take and goes through many forms. <br /><br />When my mom passed away, I felt a bit like an orphan. My dad had been dead for many years, but, my mom was always there. I think when we lose our last parent, it puts us in a different place in life and it takes a while to get used to it. Blessings to you.<br /><br />What a wonderful time to develop your photography skills, especially with a grandchild. What fun you will continue to have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-83476462642789058352012-02-27T08:12:24.592-06:002012-02-27T08:12:24.592-06:00Good to hear you are feeling better.

Drawing does this for me. I used to paint, and one day I am going to open up my paint box again. In the meantime, stopping and looking (and drawing what I see) is like a meditation-and quickly lifts my mood. I love the fact that you are so open to learning new things-essential to enjoying life, I think!bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-82701177888255680462012-02-26T18:09:03.821-06:002012-02-26T18:09:03.821-06:00I'm glad you're feeling somewhat better. ...I'm glad you're feeling somewhat better.
