Inspire, The project sounds so beautiful. Is there any way you could put less pressure on yourself? (yes, I do it too.) On the other hand, this IS the place to vent, so vent away. But I hope somewhere in there you had fun. I know you had the stage 1 high.
Jennifer, I couldn't find your wish. I'll look again. I vaguely remember answering a post that might have been yours. Anyway, I'll look again.
Me. When I was a kid, I cried about everything, and got teased a lot. So now I never cry. And that sucks. I just walk around like a piece of granite. Anyway, I remembered the song, "We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun. But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone." And it reminded me of our property up at the lake. It's a place where dogs run free, and kids get dirty. There's a pond for swimming, and parties with thirty people, hot dogs, and mimosas. And you build and create anything and everything, like turning a chicken coop into a house, (before the days of building codes) or making a tree house and painting your walls to look like the Grand Canyon. And now it's a sad place with hospital beds and walkers where people go to die, and nothing works. And I thought of the song and began to cry, which felt sad and good. It's my husband's garden of Eden, and he's dealing with horrible stuff, and not getting any sleep. That's really where I am now. I need to be kinder and smarter than I am now.
So that's mostly where I am now. I'll try to write and video and post, but a lot of issues get in the way.
