New relationships are always exciting, but to me, they are scary as well. I’m always trying to be the best person, but always wondering how to do that. How to navigateContinue reading “Page 22”

Today’s weather is not good, which means my anxiety is not good. I don’t do well in situations I can’t control, and weather is definitely something out of my control. This is one of those times where I turn my worries over to God, but then take them back. I worry and worry and worryContinue reading “Page 21”

I’ve recently gotten back into reading. I didn’t realize how much I missed it. When I was little, younger, teenager, even college, I used it as an escape.

Saturday was a good day. The Boy had a double-header, and it was beautiful outside. I sat with some of the other parents and had a really good time. I stepped out of my comfort zone. I was able to talk to one mom a lot and one that took some amazing photos. I wasContinue reading “Page 15”

  Is it possible we make ourselves feel lonely? I feel lonely all the time, but I do have friends and family who love me dearly. Is it a sense of intimacy that I miss? I sense of someone from the “outside” that cares for me? Loneliness is one of the worst feelings ever. IContinue reading “Page 14”

I had started writing this morning about music. In the process, I received some not so great news and deleted the writing. I love music. It’s one of my love languages.
