On the Up Swing
My jaw aches from 5 months of charting through sorrow and change. As I ease my way out, my body remains on high alert, as if still prepared for flight or fight. I wish I didn’t worry so much, now that things are looking up. Healing is slow.

Hey, hey, I know what you mean – it does take so much longer than we would like to heal. Oh, if we could just snap our fingers and be done with the pain! I know I am ‘supposed’ to be ‘moving on’ but some days I feel pretty stuck, and I guess you do too. But we both know that it will pass and eventually we will think about the sorrow and change with less and less frequency – yeah for that. I want to tell you how much I love your blog. I think the mix of writing and art is just about perfick, no kidding!I make sure to check in with you often. xxxx
Since your Mel Kadel post, I have thought of you… and wondered… and hoped you were on the mend — so it’s encouraging to hear that you are!! Thanks for the update. PERSEVERE through the process (even when it feels endless).
