Thoughts and feelings simmering in my heart and mind and finally trickling out into words
Frustrated
Emotions and feelings are running a little high lately, and not in the good way. Frustrated. Irritated. Annoyed. These have been circling through my mind and body for a few days. Annoyed with symptoms that almost never seem to get better or else they are worse. Frustrated that my body isn’t doing what it should…
The Mask Breaking
Sometimes the mask starts to crack and gives way to all the thoughts and feelings below. Today the mask has broken open and everything is spilling out.. It’s hard to be sick all the time. Literally, I was sick with something about a month ago. I’ve been doing all the right things with adding so…
New
Going into a new school district, a new school, and a new area of teaching with new people can feel hard and overwhelming. I have had those feelings off and on the last few weeks as I am prepping for the school year with different trainings and classroom work. But even though it feels like…
Flip the Script
Some days feel kinda heavy and just harder. But then God sends something or someone to make you smile. 🩷 I have been in this weird funk today mentally. And I am currently sitting in a doctor’s office waiting for my allergy shot. Yet, God sent a smile. A grandma had taken her grandson to…
Looking Back a Year
Two pictures taken at the same place, with the same amazing people, one year and a couple weeks apart. But boy, these pictures are not the same and tell two different stories. The girl in the first picture with the purple tank top hated how she looked in that picture. She didn’t know what to…
Mental Health
Some days it’s more of a mental health battle than a physical health fight. Or some days it’s both, and that’s almost worse. Yesterday and today have been one of those mental tug of war days. Where my mind is saying one thing but my heart knows what is really true. Ladies with PCOS struggle…
Healing can be Hard
Pain. Hurt. Sickness. It all sucks and it’s not fun to deal with. Whether it’s a cold, the flu, period pain, or anything else. But pain can also come in the form of grief or life struggles. Right now, I’m in pain and it hurts. I honestly don’t know if it’s from my PCOS, something…
Back to Waiting
Waiting on God is usually not easily. Or maybe it is and it just comes in waves of being harder. I’m back to waiting on a job and waiting for a relationship. God has a plan and a purpose for the waiting but I, and probably you too, just want it to happen now. I…
Home
Home isn’t just a place, it’s the people. I’d like to disagree with that a little bit. Yes, the people make it special and you can feel at home with certain people. But for me, home will always be the farm. The family farm where the tractors and other equipment roll on and off the…
Grief
Sometimes grief hits you like a semi truck and runs you over. Other times, you might see it coming in the rear view mirror but don’t know when it will hit you. Then it does, and it feels like you are drowning in waves of emotion. Grief is hard and not something you would wish…
