Would You Go Back?


Do you have a day, or a moment, or a time, that you'd use a wish on, to go back to?

~unfinished spread.



Though I consider it to be a complete waste of time for me to be feeling panicky and anxiety-ridden, it is there all the same.

*

Some days are like that.

*

It's what I do with them that can make a difference.

*

I've been told by those close to me that I am extremely hard on myself.

I'll try not to be, today.

*

You try, too.

Hi kathy, thanks so much for your sweet comments. I'm working on this one too. being gentle, forgiving, kind, full of grace for myself... so I can be this way with others. It's a whole change in thinking for me. Thank you for your gentle reminders.

Love those hand carved girls on your page. Did you carve them? Like also the colors on the page and the mix of paper. Hope you had some time for yourself this week.

Anxiety finds me far too often... Let's both just breathe and try not to worry so much today. I have realized I cannot control everything and that worry is a result of not being in control sometimes.

Moments in time I
wish to enjoy again...
Hope you feel free from
that anxiety feeling...
It will soon pass
and you will be happy
again...xoxoxoxoxoxo
