Overwhelmed
Lately I have been feeling very overwhelmed.
Overwhelmed by how long it has been since I have seen my family.
Overwhelmed with trying to buy tickets to Portugal and when to go.
Overwhelmed by how fast Lily is growing and how big she is. (can’t believe she is almost 10 months old!)
Overwhelmed by how hot it is. (summers in Miami kill me)
Overwhelmed by how unmotivated I am lately. (I think it’s the heat, it makes me lethargic)
Overwhelmed by how long it has been since I have painted. (afraid I don’t even know how to anymore…)
Overwhelmed with trying to make a decision about moving. Do we stay in Miami or do we go somewhere else? (the heat plays a huge factor)
Overwhelmed by the loss of a friend.
Overwhelmed by the birth of another. (isn’t it ironic how that works…)
Overwhelmed by life…

That´s called life and you have to take in one whole day at a time… Know exactly how you feel… Sorry about your loss. Think of all good things, past and present, and have a drink for the future! Cheers! Still enjoying every one of your pics and posts! Lily looks like a very happy baby, Good job Mommy and Daddy! We should learn from them, enjoying and exploring every moment cause its all new… and it really is, no matter how many times we´ve seen it or done it. Think positive and good things will come! (what a cliché, lol) Miss you! Here´s a virtual hug going your way

There seems to be a plague of overwhelm going on – at our house, and at our friends houses – this week. You are not alone in your feelings, or your restlessness. It also happens to be Mercury retrograde this week, and for the next 3, which could be contributing to it. Take this time to rest and reflect and everything should fall into place soon – best wishes! 🙂

Overwhelmed…..give it a google and you should see my face. Just remember to breathe….deeply and slowly….keep breathing…No matter what. Life happens.. the good the bad and the ugly. We just have to rise above it be strong for ourselves, our families and those around use who look to us as someone of strength and not of weakness.
Things always fall into place as they are meant to….ok…well not always, but I’m trying to be positive for you.
Maybe a weekend retreat to relax and refocus and get back in touch with your artistic side? Just a suggestion…
Love ya

@ Tryne,
thank you. i needed to hear that. it’s hard being strong all the time…
i think i will have to have art weekend at least once a month. i just always feel guilty because that is family fun time.
much love to you!
