My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

Hi, Theo! Thanks for dropping in.

Wow--I don't know whether to thank you profusely or go stick my head in the oven...but then, as someone pointed out today, it would probably be an electric oven and then I'd just look silly.

You pretty much nailed it--that's how my life has felt over the past year or so. And because I don't usually look at the whole dang thing in one snapshot, it's rather overwhelming when I read what you wrote. I guess I probably shouldn't be too discouraged that I'm not further along in healing.

But then, there are your observations and suggestions...how do you know me so well? 'Cuz you were spot on. Especially the part about community. And I will break this down and digest it piece by piece and begin to implement it. I think I've been trying to sort of coast and assumed that things would fall into place--but they're not because of the devastation at the foundation. So I need to go back to taking baby steps.

I'm not all that amazing, tho, I have to tell you. Because all I'm really doing is surviving, and there's no other option. But you're pretty amazing too--I know your life hasn't been a bowl of cherries, and I appreciate your support.
