Break
I’m going to be taking a bit of a break from the internet; I am feeling like I need to step back and figure some stuff out. I am also feeling extremely fragile and think some space is a good idea. I honestly have no idea how long this will be. Might be a day or two, or could stretch into a significant amount of time. If I think its going to go for a long time, I’ll post an update. Everyone please take good care of yourselves and hopefully I’ll see you before too long.

One thought comes to mind and I think you’ll understand what situation I’m referring to “If you have no critics, you’ll likely have no success.” Don’t change who you are, for you’re doing an amazing job just being the true you. Take good care of yourself. Be gentle, show yourself compassion and remember what a gift you are to so many:)

Just checking in. I hope you are being as good to yourself as you have been to your readers! There is no way your readers can give back what you give to us. Even if you never wrote another word, we have been give a treasure of seeing the true struggles and successes that many of us deal with through the eyes of someone who is fearless in her writings. You have given us the words to express ourselves when struggling with our own scary emotions. Thank you. I have internalized much of what you say and it helps me not feel so alone in my own journey. Xoxo Ann

I don’t know if you are still reading your comments. It is a rainy day in N.C, perfect sleeping weather! Hoping that you are taking time to rest this weekend. I know when life is overwhelming it is easy to isolate. That is O.K, but I want you to know that we are still out here thinking about you. No need to respond to anything, but know everything will be o.k.
You are a survivor! Ann

Ann,
Definitely reading, and have very much appreciated your care and support and many kind words (you need 15 minutes with my family for a more balanced view of me. :D). I just woke from a nap 🙂 and we are on the way to a dear friend’s daughter’s wedding ( they have informally adopted my husband and I into the family). They’re a wonderful couple, and we’re looking forward to a very good time with lovely people. We also have a room at the hotel nearby so we don’t have to worry about driving and can attend the after party. (And I won’t keep my poor husband up too obscenely late as he is an early bird and I am a night owl! 🙂 ) I am feeling much recovered and should be back to posting soon. Thank you again. xx AG

Hope you had a great time at the wedding and party! It is always great to get out of your routine and do something different. (Especially if you don’t have to do dishes and make beds!) I understand about family. I moved back to my hometown after 38 years and now I am seeing a shrink to keep me sane! I try to hold onto boundaries with a little empathy to keep going. Unfortunately, once you have “been assigned” a role in the family it seems to stick no matter how much time goes by! My family lives in fantasy land and my presence often challenges their perfect world. Keep up your good work. Don’t push yourself to write until you are good and ready! Xoxo Ann

AG, I was away from the blog for a few days and just came back to read your last 2 posts. I wanted to add my well wishes for you. I’m sorry for your stresses. I’m glad to read you are starting to feel better. I was particularly moved by your description of being attacked on a website you previously felt was safe. I cant tell you how sorry I am that that happened, and how angry as well. Your blog has been so helpful to me… your willingness to put yourself out there, right in the face of hard painful stuff, your willingness to guide and support others.. so many people (clearly) benefit from your generosity and kindness. It makes me very angry that someone would attack you. I understand how rationally understanding safety exists is not the same as viscerally or emotionally understanding it. And I well know that generalized free floating sense of anxiety and danger that is so draining. I hope very much the time away has helped you work through and let go of those feelings. Mostly I just want to say how much your writing has helped me… I find you to be kind, funny (really funny :)), thoughtful, empathic and just plain gutsy. Thank you. I hope you continue to feel better.
