Hi Robin i love your blog it is so inspiring. I am going through a bit of a crisis at the moment well this moment has been going on for 2 years. We lost our business with the result we have to sell our house which would it seems solve all our financial worries but GOD has other plans what they are i do not know. I just know i have to trust HIM .Our house has not sold even though we have put the price down twice we cant go further down as we have to pay the banks and you know what they are like. We have a house in Italy which has a mortgage also i cant plan anything until the house is sold and i am a planner i find that the hardest thing that i don’t know were i will be living next year ? what country? or if i will even have a house i am completely dependent on GOD i just have to accept that. These last few years have been such learning years spiritually,emotionally,mentally i am a better person for it but if i could have learn t another way i would have.My faith has kept me going i have some very dark days and nights i have to believe GOD has a good plan for me even if i cannot see it. I will keep you in my prayers as i know GOD is talking to me through you GOD BLESS you keep up the good work DONNA say a prayer for me.

I love this….love the raw honesty. I think that it is sometimes hard for me to blog because I have a happy blog. I am afraid that people might run away if they saw it all lol.

My struggle seems really silly and most of the time it is totally under control. Then, out of the blue it raises its ugly head.

I am afraid that no one is ever going to love me or be my mate. I have been divorced for 16 years and I miss having a hand to hold….hearing someone breathing in the night.’

And I know all about God’s timing and that I am never truly alone. I know I Know I KNOW but sometimes that does not help.

Holding you and your precious memories of your mom up today.

Robin I can’t figure out how I missed this. I am glad you linked to it. I am so sorry to have missed such a tender and important expression from you. I am printing so I can read it off screen.

Love to you.

Robin, Your Grandmother would say, ” Honey, it is called the change of life” That was her excuse for everything and her generation’s excuse for everything that a women felt that they didn’t feel comfortable with. Unfortunately she did not live to be as old as you are now, and what did she know about the “change of life” she was too young!!! So go with the change, it’s not so bad really, I like it and I just turned 60, and it feels good! Love you and miss you sooo much. Aunt Toni

Thank you again for your transparency. My girls and I call it “the fog” too. We use many of the same tactics to make our way through. Not fun but I am so thankful that it always passes…eventually. Almost on the other side of one now. Thank you for your prayers. You are such a good “blog” friend:) I am praying for you!

Praying for you! I am one who suffers the “Baby Blue’s” after the birth of my babies. It’s a horrible feeling. But, it is a feeling! I moved away from home to be with my college sweetheart. So, when my boys were born I didn’t have family and close friends to share in my joys and sadness. Crazy what a rush of homones and lack of sleep can do to a normally pretty happy person. My mom wasn’t much help after my first son was born. My dad kept telling me to take a bubble bath…good grief…lol. But, after the birth of my second son. My mom said something pretty profound. “It is normal to be sad.” That’s why we have so many different levels of feeling. It’s part of being a human being. Our society just doesn’t normally accept that. We like to mask the pain and pretend everything is perfect. But, being real is so much better. I jumped out of the “baby blue’s” once I accepted them as part of the process. Surrounding myself with my new friends and family nearby. I hope the fog doesn’t last long. But, I’m glad you have a good perspective on why you may be in your fog.

Thank you for putting your heart into this post.
I know what you mean about wanting to keep things
light and upbeat but who believes that any of us
never struggle. I believe that if we want our blogs
to minister we have to be somewhat transparent.
You have done this very beautifully.
I’ll pray that your “fog” lifts and that you come out
renewed.
