Looks Like Winter But Could Be Spring.












Thanks to getting the Beautiful Blogger from wonderful Lucy @ What is Left Of A Whole New Life

I could indulge in my favourite thing passing it on to other blogs.


I really enjoyed putting together Wednesday's post, did not realise how much work it would be.

Did it in 3 or 4 stages as I could not do 111 links plus names and blog names all at once.

Was delightful putting the names together, I very much like sharing and when I find good blogs I want to share that with as many people as possible.

Was very touched by the wonderful response and the sweet comments that I have had,

Can't believe how quickly it is Friday once again; wonder if it goes quicker when not worrying, I think it must help.

I used to almost vibrate with anxiety, have been doing very well recently and have not been consumed with worrying about what could happen.

Not good for me worrying, these days worrying and getting upset results in physical effects.

The other day when I got upset and cried, my body seemed to cramp up, the whole body felt like it had been locked down.

Felt as I imagined a straight jacket would feel so what with my MS girdle, which is literally a feeling of wearing a very tight girdle around your waist.

It is unpleasant and combined with the feeling of an internal tight diving suit and the straight jacket makes my joy complete.

What a horrible hat trick, and none of them can be got rid of, in fact the only thing I can do is let it happen and hope to somehow relax my muscles.

That is not an easy task not with MS which leads us all on such a ‘merry’ dance, one we can’t excuse ourselves from.

Well going to stop now as our dear friend Marianne will be round for a quick visit, looking forward to seeing her and hearing her news.

It is not a pretty sunny spring day, Richie says it feels a touch milder outside so despite looking like winter spring is slowly and quietly happening.

I intend to enjoy this moment.

It's so true Herrad, that worrying and being anxious takes its toll mentally and physically. I've been on a mission to stay as positive as possible and change my negative way of thinking, and it really does work to keep my mood bright, even during those challenging moments! Hope you have a nice visit today!

Anxiety and worry are so real and so unnecessary. I always see that when they pass. I work hard at staying out of worry. It is an exercise I can do. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better in that regard.

It is great that you can quit worrying as much and enjoy the beautiful spring, whenever we get a taste of it!

Someone told me anxiety is about what will be and depression is about what was. Which is why we need to try to stay in the moment, easier said than done. You sacrificed your comfort to make the list. That is why I put a link on my post and hope more discover your wonderful blog. You are a very giving person. Take a deep breath, then the oxygen gets where it needs to be.Love, Mary
