My heart is gripped in a vice; my mind is confused, addled and disjointed, thoughts come and go again like the ebb of the tide. I am not well.
The back garden is going on at a steady pace; the allotment lies there untended but with promise; there are stunningly beautiful, delicate blossoms on the cherry tree, now planted in her own raised, walled bed. There is a random little tete-a-tete that has survived the housing development and is showing her bowed, shy, yet joyously bright tiny head in the midst of the trampled grass and dust of our equally tiny front garden.
But I can't even work out how to get myself from this spot to the cameras, from there to the leads and do the uploading, to show you these things that ought to be making me happy. But which are not.
I have hit a wall, fallen down a well, had a smack to the face with a large shovel. This morning I felt ok, good even but at 12.25pm I crashed and I can barely cope.
I don't know what to do. But I needed to talk, to cry out for love from this vast world so full of people yet so filled with loneliness. I guess I just want you to know I am here.
carrie, you have said it yourself, you are not well, you are allowed to have ups and downs. just because you felt good at breakfast time does not mean you must feel good at tea time. use every support available to you. that includes those of us online people who have come to love the way you see the world and the way you write.

When my oldest sister used to live in a little country town far away, she always phoned my mother on a Wednesday. Poured her heart out. I was left, saying to my mother, she needed to tell you that, she is feeling better now. And that sister is 16 years older than I am.
ReplyDeleteSo Carrie, I hope that you too, are feeling better! Oh and you promised us pictures of cherry blossom ... please?
Oh gosh, Carrie pleases take care of yourself. Take it minute by minute and try to find even the tiniest bit of beauty or joy in the everyday doldrums. this, too, shall pass.
ReplyDeleteLove to you!
