It came out of the blue, bowling a ball I just wasn’t expecting. The ninth of June , last Friday, was the anniversary of when I got engaged. I normally am not affected by it greatly however this year was different. I sensed the black dog coming and gosh wasn’t he a powerful beast. I had to keep up a front and try business as usual, but it was hard. I can’t seem to shake him off.
Yesterday Thursday l was taken out for lunch by my sister in law and her husband . Here is a photo of the beautiful blue sea there-
We met to catch up and for me to collect family photos ( from my late mother in law’s) for our family. I was able to share a bit of how I felt and how it seems to have been one thing after another currently. They were supportive . In turn I offered a listening ear too. The photos lie waiting on the dining room table, now , for me, is not the time to take a deep dive .
I don’t quite know why I am posting this , it seems self indulgent. I guess l feel it might help in some way. I have been trying to lose weight but comfort eating, trying to walk more but my left foot’s collapse seems to hinder this and I have been trying to wrestle the black dog! Any I shall pick myself up, brush myself off and attempt to move on…
