I'm sorry to hear that your absence wasn't due to a better reason. I totally understand, though, as I too retreat from everything when overwhelmed. Some days just getting out of bed is the best to hope for in difficult situations, and you have to allow yourself that time away from your normal routine. Know that you and your family are in my thoughts, and I hope that all gets better soon. (PS. I really love how you made something so beautiful out of a difficult time in your art journal - those quotes are perfect.) *hugs*Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17370673028526668464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-78014367495957017362011-06-10T12:03:42.745-04:002011-06-10T12:03:42.745-04:00Sending you hugs,Cheri.....things will get better....Sending you hugs,Cheri.....things will get better.scrappyjackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761068895383717904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-13802474922340243752011-06-10T08:04:56.107-04:002011-06-10T08:04:56.107-04:00I feel for you Cheri, I really do.

Even though I've never met you in person, I know you well enough to know you'll pull through ALL of this, but give yourself time to grieve for Jay's job, your private time, the lost computer data . . . A friend and I were once going through a really rough period in our lives, and we kept reminding ourselves that we still had a lot to be grateful for. One day I realized that even our blessings don't negate our pain. It's there, you need to process it, and it will get better. Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-87622308502336311982011-06-09T16:19:34.236-04:002011-06-09T16:19:34.236-04:00Hi Cheri, so sorry you are going through a tough t...Hi Cheri, so sorry you are going through a tough time.

I want to thank you for putting into words (much better than I could) exactly how I've been feeling for what seems like a lifetime. I occasionally have a good day, but there are a lot more bad ones. The husband home 24/7 is NOT a good thing for most of us. It's something to survive. Unemployed husbands who want to be employed is not a good thing. Even after a year and a half. it's still a bad thing.<br /><br />You have your work cut out for you, this I know from experience. Hang in there. The good things are still there, just a lot harder to see (now if I can just take my own advice).quiltingfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801482177495082278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-60797176884917147772011-06-09T10:01:47.399-04:002011-06-09T10:01:47.399-04:00Major hugs, Cheri!!!

I truly know how easy it is for that curveball to throw you into a funk... my only advice is to just keep swinging. Even if you don't have the heart and power to really smash that ball... just keep swinging. Eventually the energy comes back. Sorry for all the baseball references. Where'd those come from?! I'm always around if you need an ear!!
