Drivel
Today has been a tough day. I was writing a post about my old dog, Willow, but couldn’t summon the energy or feeling to make it work.

I’m not happy, I’m cheerful. There’s a difference. A happy woman has no cares at all. A cheerful woman has cares but has learned how to deal with them.— Beverly Sills (1929-) American Opera Singer Last Monday morning I was cleaning up manure and I must have gotten distracted, which happens quite often to me….
Saturday, I gathered with friends to make jewelry. It was my friend Sue’s idea to invite people to her house, set up trays full of beads and other odds and ends from her collection for people to use, plus people brought their own stash to play with. This is my stash. You’d think perhaps the…
Confusion and chaos are signs of the old structures of life breaking down so that something new can emerge. There is nothing inherently unspiritual in feeling confused. In fact, growth may not be possible without periods of chaos. ~ Mark Thurston Yesterday, Tuesday, was a heck of a day. But never mind. Deep breath and…
Do you believe in magic? Or that you should pay attention to fortunes in cookies? Do you believe you can do it? Whatever “it” is? Do you believe that a heart That’s been broken Can be whole again? I do Most fortunes that I receive in cookies are pretty darn lame and meaningless, but…
“Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck. Do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.” Psalm 69:1, 17 It’s not that I don’t hesitate before posting some of the things I write. I know it’s hard to believe, but, in general,…
I’ve been reading mainly non-fiction for the past thirty years – books on writing, fitness, and health, along with memoirs. Books like “Yarrow” remain on my bookshelf waiting for me to sit down for a moment and enter their world. I was searching the library shelves for something different to read (a bit of escapism)…

Mary, you know that you can write whatever you want and we will read it! We are here to listen. So keep it comin’!
Sorry to hear about work, that must be really difficult with what you are going through and to work with your husband too.
I am sure Murphy would do a great job with the blog!
I have a good ear! I had an emotional moment on my blog today. I find it very comforting to talk to my blog friends about happy and sad times. Life just gets to complicated sometimes. WIll keep you in my thoughts! Hang in there.
Murphy looks ready to start bloggin! He’s giving us his best horsey pose there! 😉
Sorry to hear you have to work with your hubby while going through this..I can’t imagine! Do you see each other on a regular basis at work, or are you in different buildings? That has to be really hard. Hang in there. We are all thinking of you!
Murphy looks like a very zany blogger! What a photo!!!!
I can’t imagine what a hard time it is for you. My friend once advised me during a hard time to try to do one thing that I love every day, however small it might be. Perhaps that’s a good rule for you right now.
Hang in.
My husband and I work at the same company. But he is a big shot in one building, while I am a drone that kind of goes from building to building so we don’t run into each other so much. But because he is high up there, everyone knows him and thus me. It feels icky.
KB – You are right and I’m trying to keep that in mind. Taking walks with my dog, riding, writing, and just trying to find things to be thankful for.
Mary…Hang in there. You have great worth and need all your strength to get through this. It’s good that you have your dog and horses as they will support you no matter what. You can do this.
Hi Mary,
My goodness…could it be more uncomfortable??? Working for the same company for 29 years, having met there, and on top of it all the two of you always having been lumped as a couple. No wonder you are having a difficult time focusing at work 🙁
I love KB’s suggestion about doing one thing you love every day.
I remember having a horrible heart wrenching break up when I was younger-I had one dog then, Kootenai, and when I was at my saddest I would bury myself in her fur and let myself cry my heart out. Then I’d hug her tight and say “let’s go have an adventure!”
And we would. And I *always* felt better…still sad, but not so completely empty. I hope little Java can offer you some of that solace.
In the meantime, I think Murphy was trying his best to One Up my Mariah during her Tina Turner imitation. Tell him he made me laugh out loud and that I can’t wait to hear what he blogs about 😀
Hoping you can replace a ittle of that sadness with a giggle or two at your critters each day. They really are beautiful 🙂
Big hug your way!
Sue
