My Poor Truck! |
Yup! It is definitely stuck! |
My blog has been silent for more than a year and a half. I have been thinking of writing more posts, but just didn't know where to start.
Today, 9/17/2016, these pictures showed up on my FB Memories ... so now is the time.
Seven years ago we were building a retaining wall behind and alongside our house. During one of my trips of unloading crushed stone into a wheelbarrow to dump at the side of the house, where it was too narrow for a truck, this happened.
When this picture popped up, I quickly remembered those days, the feelings, my thoughts.
While moving stone, I was angry.
I was pushing and driving my body very hard
- telling myself it didn't matter how much I hurt,
I was going to get this done!
-telling myself "I" didn't matter...
what good am I anyway?
I felt like such a complete and total loser!
I already lost my son to adoption so many years earlier.
I failed my husband by not being able to make him a daddy.
In a phone conversation, my oldest sister pointed out that I was just punishing myself for the miscarriage, and it was both unnecessary and unhealthy. I don't remember if I took her advice and worked at a less frenzied pace, but I did get all the stone moved.

I don't have an outline or planned posts or themes for blogging again.
It will just be whatever is happening at the time.
I will gradually work on overhauling the links to other sources/resources.
Overhaul?
