Pass the coffee!
« on: May 06, 2015, 09:12:36 AM »
Some of you may have missed me and some of you never knew I was alive.  So this is for the formers. 
I saw the thread about unfollowing ppl on IG and thought I'd comment here.  (Erica, move this if need be)  I haven't been MIA on purpose and I don't, not comment on your IG accounts on purpose.  We all have busy lives and businesses.  Some of us busier than others (no one more than Erica!).  And our responsibilities pull us in a million directions.  At times I feel like I can't breathe for fear of drowning.  Last month we went away on vacation and the day after we got back my husband had a stroke to his eyes.  Strangest thing possible!  He subsequently was in the hospital for 5 days and was off work until 4 days ago.  It's been emotional and very scary.  He's adjusting to being blind in one eye.  All of that(personal crap) said to say this; I get the unfollowing - please understand that!  It's your prerogative and your life.  I just wanted to say how much I do appreciate the encouragement, following and perseverance with following me.  We all have stories and battles we're fighting.  I get that... but calligraphy is a safe haven for me to go to when I need peace in my life.  I need the encouragement and kinship and I want you to know that I don't take YOUR time for granted. 
Carry on my friends!

Oh my goodness, Daisy! So sorry to hear about this. May you find the strength and equanimity to be the rock for your husband as he recovers.

It's definitely an important message to know not to take things for granted and to understand where we all are at this moment.

Hang in there and be well!
Janice

Thank you, Ladies, for you kind words.  Yes, it's been a real nightmare.  I feel selfish and self absorbed when I get frustrated with him knowing that I'M not the one who is partially blind.  But I still have a business to run, a house to run, a grandbaby to sit and clients that critique...  Again, being pulled in a million directions...  Thanks for lending an ear.  (I actually didn't know I was feeling like that until I wrote it!!)

It may be super crazy right now, but before you know it, it will calm down and life will be steady again.. just make sure to put on the brakes and slow yourself down too, and schedule some spa or massage day for you both to unwind and take things easy! It's amazing what a few hours of me-time could do..

Good grief, Daisy.  Sorry for your troubles.  I have to agree with Schin that taking some time to give care to yourself is really important at a time like this.  As far as Instagram goes, I think sometimes we get caught up and lose sight of what's really important.  Instagram is a nice way to make virtual friends and stay in touch, to be inspired and all that, but it's nothing compared to what's living and breathing in you and your loved ones.
