The Sun Is Rising

Happy Tuesday My Lovelies! I’m trying to get back to some semblance of normalcy after working through my grief. And while the waves aren’t quite as strong as before, they’re still hanging on a bit. At least it’s more manageable than last week 😊.

Thank you for all of your kind words and thoughts of support. It’s not easy to lose a loved one, whether it be human, or animal and I appreciate that no one thought my grief wasn’t valid just because it she was my horse. 

But I have to tell you, I have grieved too much in the past four years 😢. I’ve grieved the loss of my marriage, two horses, my dog and a house I had to sell that I loved and designed. And I have grieved for friends and family that have lost loved ones as well. It’s a wonder I get out of bed some days. It’s an even bigger wonder that my depression hasn’t returned. It knocks on the door every so often, but I work at keeping it at bay (thank you CBD gummies).

However, today is a new day and it is beautiful day (bonus – low humidity). I am ready to tackle the next obstacle life decides to throw at me. And it’s time for me to move on from most of my past grief and figure out my next steps. To that end, I will be starting a short series of posts wherein each week (possible 2 a week) I will read a chapter in my therapist’s book, do the exercises, and post my thoughts/reactions here. A dive into my psyche if you will, enter at your own risk 😳😆.

And, as always, I will keep you, My Lovelies, in the loop as I work out what I’m doing with my life 😊.

You’re gonna make it
You’re gonna make it
The night can only last for so long

Whatever you’re facing
If your heart is breaking
There’s a promise for the ones who just hold on
Lift up your eyes and see
The sun is rising (the sun is rising)
The sun is rising (the sun is rising)
