I can relate to many of them (including having family members struggling with health issues on the other side of the world) and really commend you for speaking so openly about some of these heartbreaking issues that you've been battling lately. <br /><br />I admire your strength and really appreciate that you shared some of the wise steps and measures that have helped you pull through as of late. <br /><br />With all my heart, I hope that every single day from this point onward is better than the last for you. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222564863059340582.post-32661808720668179792014-02-14T14:10:43.219+00:002014-02-14T14:10:43.219+00:00Ohh yes, a bit of diamante!

O...goodness no, I didn't feel pressured at all! On the contrary, it is lovely to be appreciated! There is a sea of vintage bloggers out there, many of whom photograph better than me, do their hair better than me, go to cool events more than me - so much so it is easy to feel a little left behind - even if I'd been blogging lots and writing well! The fact that you've missed me and you've told me so is quite wonderful!In The Heydayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829316779390884087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222564863059340582.post-59062918404151858802014-02-14T13:11:53.523+00:002014-02-14T13:11:53.523+00:00I'm so sorry you've been having a hard tim...I'm so sorry you've been having a hard time. I'm the guilty one for saying I thought you had given up the blog *Ducks rotten tomatoes and veg* :( I just love it so much and you were my first vintage inspiration, and still are! I just love your style, your tutorials and sewing stuff. I've just missed your blog I suppose. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel pressured to blog on top of everything else, please forgive me? :( <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222564863059340582.post-17292929597527124752014-02-14T12:00:55.491+00:002014-02-14T12:00:55.491+00:00I'm sorry to hear things have been so awful fo...I'm sorry to hear things have been so awful for you - it sounds as though you've been having a rotten time.<br /><br />My pick-me-up: diamante.

I think being kind to yourself is such an important and overlooked thing, trying not to feel guilty about treating yourself as you would treat a friend. Listening out for, acknowledging, and then moving on from shoulds, ought to, must etc is also important. I have found some mindfulness exercises really helpful. I am sorry that you have had such a tough time, I hope things are starting to improve.Kate-Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664293299445754159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222564863059340582.post-53053968170613676562014-02-13T22:14:22.014+00:002014-02-13T22:14:22.014+00:00I'm sorry to hear you have been having a tough...I'm sorry to hear you have been having a tough time. A good bit of advice I was once given when everything was overwhelming is to 'just be' 'don't think, don't analyse, don't beat yourself up, just be'. Eat properly, sleep, and most importantly be kind to yourself. You find that the time comes where you can face things and cope and move on.

Your post is such a well timed, useful reminder of how to help pull yourself up from the doldrums, thank you! I think it's partly the time of year and the unending bad weather, but it seems everyone I speak to, myself included have been struggling a bit at the moment with what life's throwing at them. I've been beating myself up for not getting enough things done and your '5 things' sounds like just what I need to do to achieve things in manageable chunks! Thanks again and best of luck with it all!Jo Waterhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08808039964284173532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222564863059340582.post-29010076581521245612014-02-13T18:59:06.815+00:002014-02-13T18:59:06.815+00:00Thanks for this post.
