At a time like this the best thing you can do is write through it. Allow yourself to write whatever is coming up for you and know that what you are writing you don't have to post. You don't have to but after you are done, read it again, and maybe there will be something within it that you want to share. The important part is to give yourself permission to just write all the thoughts that are swirling in your head even if you never do share it with another living soul.

ReplyDeleteI am terribly behind on my writing and posting...
ReplyDeletethis summer and fall I have been working long stretches of days...split shifts as a nurse...private duty....and age has caught up with me. I seem to need a lot more sleep than I used to when I was younger (I am 68)
I do love the prompts for each day and plan to get caught up...
