But I take a deep breath and hang out the washing. Because it's just today.
Tomorrow is Saturday. In Spring. And my crabapple tree is blooming.
I know that RUOK Day was officially yesterday. But I think it should be an everyday kind of thing. So I hope that you are feeling okay. If not, I hope that for you it's just today, too.
We'll start again tomorrow.
ONE step at a time. Sending love xxxx
ReplyDeleteMy crabapple is just starting to bud- enjoy the blooms, they will be gone in what will seem like moments...
ReplyDeleteFeeling the whelm here too today... No crabapple here to save me, but at least the ferns are "spring-ing"! Tomorrow is another day.
ReplyDeleteI agree, everyday should be/could be RUOK day!! I completely missed RUOK day yesterday because I was not ok yesterday but today is better and you will be better when you decide to be. Remember the proverb, 'this too shall pass' and smile.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling better today! The good news is that I'm fighting the whelm and winning today. I have redeployed my forces, cleaned my study and am feeling a lot more optimistic. Thank you.
DeleteA beautiful spring Saturday make the heart sing. Wishing you through Friday Al x
ReplyDelete*will* make the heart sing.

If you're not okay, a little overwhelmed, take some time and just sit in your garden with a coffee and a book. A couple of hours should do it. Or a whole afternoon if you can. Recharge the batteries. The revision will wait.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I texted my depression ridden ex with RUOK? and he replied "am ok, not even drinking today". Which pleased me immensely.
Ah yes, I know well this whelm of which you speak - it's shadowed me all winter. But that is the beauty of spring - a little warmth and sunshine do wonders in shaking it off. Hope the same happens for you x
ReplyDeleteLove this. I often remind myself that tomorrow is never the same as today. Hope your Saturday is calm and relaxed x
ReplyDeleteA clean out and tidy up of my desk can help a lot with whelm. But I'm fighting whacked today rather than whelm. Too tired, exhausted and could definitely start to let the past and future get to me. But... not washing but collecting Mr15 and then bed... and tomorrow will be a new day. A long time ago an old boyfriend talked about 'living in day-tight compartments.' Will try that... and only one more week before the too-tired kids have a break.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing that some are actually answering the RUOK question honestly. It feels like a change from previous years when the question is asked then everyone gets to move on about their merry way.
ReplyDeleteI hope you manage to plough through your mountain of 'to-do's' and get some quiet time afterward.
Love your crabapple tree too! You make me want to plant one
Oh, today the whelm got the better of me. So very tired which never helps when attempting to see woods for trees.
ReplyDeleteYour crabapple tree is definitely a worthy bright spot in a day. In fact, spring blooms in general are lovely and I need to pop some of my garden in mason jars to enjoy inside. Thanks for the reminder.
