Happy Wednesday all!
First off I want to thank each and every one of you for continuing to follow my blog. I’ve been AWOL for awhile but now I’m BAAAAACK! I apologize for my abrupt leave of absence. To be honest being quarantined by myself and working from home really did a number on me emotionally. For months I struggled with depression, isolation and loneliness. Unfortunately my blog was one of the causalities of my depression. Luckily with the help of my therapist I’ve been processing my emotions in a more healthy fashion. I still have emotional struggles but they aren’t as severe as the beginning of quarantine. I miss my old social life and can’t wait until it returns. I miss traveling to different countries and experiencing cultures. Before I would try to suppress these feelings but I’ve since learned that it’s okay to miss my previous life. I know that one day things will go back to “normal” and I will get my social life back. Until that happens I’m learning to adapt to the “new normal” and keep my head up.
How have y’all been dealing with the “new normal”? What are some of the things you’ve learned about yourself during the pandemic?
Have a wonderful evening!

Unfortunately we have our inadequate/non-existent leadership to thank for this. It wouldn’t have had to be this bad!
It’s so hard to find the energy to be motivated to do anything right now. Going to therapy seems to me to be the smart thing to do. i love to knit and weave, but those hobbies seem to have gone down the drain since covid. If it weren’t for my Kindle, laptop and cats, I would probably tearing my hair out or worse. I do have a husband but he’s as grumpy as I am and so isn’t a lot of help. (smile!)
Being a crazed follower of the political scene does not help the depression either. It’s like a bad car wreck, I have to look even though I know I’ll regret it.
And thank you for blogging. It does brighten my day so read your posts and check out your lovely outfits.
You look amazing!
