Making Some Adjustments

Hello my friends,

On the advice of my therapist, I’m no longer going to be doing a daily blog. There may be times when I do post several days in a row, but then there might be gaps of a week or more at a time.

I’ve been putting too much pressure on myself regarding this blog. Every day I did not publish a blog I felt guilty and writing was beginning to feel like a chore.

Writing was an outlet for my anxiety and fear before, but it was becoming one of the reasons for it. I have sufficient anxiety and fear already in my life, I don’t need any more.

I’ve also been struggling with my physical health and that has been contributing to my wonky mental health. The fixes for my physical self will take time so I need to make some immediate adjustments to how I spend my time to ensure I am the healthiest mentally I can be.

Honestly I’m not even sure who is still reading this beside the few who check in with me from time to time. That is another reason I’m cutting back. The lack of feedback has become discouraging.

Also, quite frankly, my life here is quieter and less eventful so I have fewer interactions that produce interesting things to write about. This is not a bad thing though. I love being here with Tennessee and her family and friends. I adore Lil J-Dawg and his mama. Tennessee’s friends have welcomed me into the fold and I am so very appreciative of that.

However, it has required a bigger adjustment than I anticipated so I need to focus on the things that bring me peace and joy. Since writing this blog is not doing that right now, I need to step back for a bit.

I have started writing cards and letters to some of my friends, so if I have your address, you might start seeing some pop into your mailbox. I like the idea of pen pals. Letter writing is a lost art, so I’m definitely open to that if you like.

Take care of yourselves and be well my friends.
