I've been feeling that same restless inwardness and have also been feeling dissatisfied and worried about the future lately. You're human; be gentle with yourself. <BR/><BR/>By the way, if you're ever in need of mellow, easy going company, I'd be happy to tag along!Cellissimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12687932020666527472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-72176370816621032502008-04-26T18:58:00.000-07:002008-04-26T18:58:00.000-07:00When I read your blog, I feel like we could be twi...When I read your blog, I feel like we could be twins. Well, except for the fact that you're incredibly artistic and talented and can knit up a storm. I agree with what others have said, it is so easy to pull in and feel alone when you're sick. Please know there are people out here (even if you don't know us) who care about you . I'm sending you and Robb thoughts filled with positive energy - I hope you feel better soon!Criquettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364541293706699431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-36039662553131318512008-04-26T18:35:00.000-07:002008-04-26T18:35:00.000-07:00Lisa--I can empathize.

This is an asset no money could buy. I hope they cheered you up. <BR/><BR/>When I feel bad I go and chop some wood, build a nice fire, or now that I can eat, bake a cake. It usually helps. If my energy is low I just steer into the fire and compose in my head my next article for the Hungarian Internet News Letter. So far they had published 24 out of 25. This really cheers me up.<BR/>Hope you will be out of the blues by the time this reaches you.

My husban...I am getting ready to be in your shoes. My husband (reluctant letterboxer):), is going to have surgery on his neck to remove bone spurs from this C5-7. They have to remove disks and hopefully replace them with newly approved artfl disks. He also has spurs growing inward touching his spine. We're sick to death over the worry but we try to fill our weekends with memories and experiences, esp since we have 2 young kids. I was laid up with v badly sprained ankle/bone chips on foot for 7 1/2 months. I understand your despair. I also a reluctant artist and crossroads. I need 2 classes from out of state college, cuz we moved 3 yrs ago and I was THAT close to BA. I don't know where to start but I recently heard a friend say "Don't waste a day." So I'm not. Don't waste a day, your friends IF they are true friends will understand yours and Robb's needs. You need friendships at this point to keep you mustering on. I really enjoy your pictures, they are beautiful, you are very talented. Loved the owls. We once had a HUGE owl swoop down in front of us on overgrown bike path in N. IL in broad daylight. Wish I'd had my camera rolling! Take care and DON'T WASTE A DAY!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-51791054895179913892008-04-25T16:53:00.000-07:002008-04-25T16:53:00.000-07:001.

I dearly miss close contact with the creative, curious, intelligent spark that emanates from you, even in your worst moments. Trust me.<BR/><BR/>2. I totally get the feeling stuck thing. And the difficult money thing. And the overwhelming worry for someone you love and their unknown future and healing thing. Way different circumstances. Same feelings. They are normal. We keep them at bay as best we can. They rise hydra-headed when exhaustion or illness depletes some of the background energy we use everyday just to remain focused. Heal your body. And don't worry about the comparison of Attitudes. And if you DO go there: Just remember that YOU were used as an exemplar to me of the kind of attitude I should have embraced a long time ago by our good friend. <BR/><BR/>3. Call me. Whenever. I'll listen. Or just find the funniest series of jokes I can tell you. Or bond over common worries. (Synchronicity - I'm sick, too!) Or plan a delightful, creative diversion of some sort. You don't have to do all the work or be "up for it". But try not to stay in the cave unless you're loving the cool dark mystery of it and are communing with the bats.<BR/><BR/>xo<BR/>gGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00620812321822211147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-14895186009480693872008-04-25T16:20:00.000-07:002008-04-25T16:20:00.000-07:00Y'all can come hang out with me anytime.

Not the best time to make life changing decisions and all that. Sometimes a change of scenery or redecorating brings something new. Your sick and bored at home, looks like you have the energy to "computer". Update the look of the blog??? New color or title picture? Start small and virtual. Hang in there. Sending positive energy your way.Smileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073842021409454200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-20291051173560992382008-04-25T14:43:00.000-07:002008-04-25T14:43:00.000-07:00Hi.I don't really know 'zactly what to say, other ...Hi.<BR/>I don't really know 'zactly what to say, other than let you know "we are out here"... the folks that love and admire you two.

I'd be happy to finally bring some metal clay over, or some stamps and inks, and we could just sit around, drink beer, make stuff, and shoot the shit. It's easily postponeable if you don't feel well, and there's no keeping up to worry about.<BR/><BR/>I always find - and I'm sure you know - that indulging the creative mind is happymaking. I'd be happy to kill a Sunday or something with you this way. Let me know if you're interested and we can make some loose plans. :)Barbara Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00327692025120297383noreply@blogger.com
