good days and bad days

Today was not one of the good days.

I never wanted or intended for this to be a blog about my personal life.  Life happens though and I often find myself struggling to try and keep things compartmentalized.  I talked a little bit about what is going on in this post. Not a whole lot has changed since I wrote that post at the end of January.  The economy still sucks.  I am still unemployed and looking for a job. I am still waiting for my divorce to be final but now instead of months away it is days. 

Despite it all I still love this space.  Even on the bad days, even on my worst days.  I love the little village I have created and the way we support one another.  I just wanted you to know that.

The adorable village above was purchased from weeds and wild things.

I think compartmentalizing is way over-rated. Better to let it all dry out in the fresh air than to have some unsuspecting soul accidentally open my tightly packed closet and get dumped on without warning! Take me or leave me I say. And thanks for letting me have a little place in your village.

I see my little cottage there - with the pink polkad dot curtains.

I am sorry to hear it is still crappy. I do agree with Kim though. Obviously I am a totally different kind of blogger, but I think people shouldn't be afraid to let their blogs evolve as their lives evolve. You included. :-)

couldn't agree more- blogs evolve like life and your life influences your art, so better to have it all flow in the same direction!

you are doing fine. keep your chin up and stay focused. xoxo- j.

what can we do for you my dear? MaggieGrace world is a conglomeration - because all of it is who I really am and I do not compartmentalize well at all.

hang in there.
