You should not have to deal with this at all. I'm so sorry, Honey. Also I'm sorry I've not been around to talk lately. As you probably guessed, I'm battling my own demons and trying not to burden anyone with my crappy outlook. <br /><br />I've been told so many times to seek cheer and joy. I wish it really worked that way. Cuz I'd choose joy and I bet you would, too.<br /><br />(((Hugs my sweet friend and believe this will pass.)))).

May I suggest you go do something absolutely silly, preferably childlike (not childish). Go make a pasta collage, finger paint, blow bubbles or make mud pies, something silly, simple and full of joy to encourage the re-emergence of that giggly girl.

Acknowledge it for what it is and reach out, if you can. Journal it, walk it out, talk it out, dance it out . . .know that it will pass. And it will. I know it's a platitude and at times, if someone said that to me, I'd want to punch them in the head . . .with a chair. BUT, I also know in my rational head that it's true. It will pass. Do whatever you have to to get through the darkness because know and believe that light is on the other side. Wishing you peace in your struggle and sending you light in your darkness.<br /><br />Kelly<br />http://beso519.blogspot.comKelly Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424296190091205312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303475796807404950.post-37459863219517711592013-01-29T12:59:14.446-05:002013-01-29T12:59:14.446-05:00Jenn, I will have to look around AGAIN and find t...Jenn, I will have to look around AGAIN and find the good and a reason for being glad.
