I can't take credit for the idea of a bliss list, but I sure am hoping to build one that helps keep me afloat! xoxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021412971457928634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695637518572363731.post-49193801155278982362012-07-11T11:10:43.012-04:002012-07-11T11:10:43.012-04:00I agree that emotionally/mentally I'm also beh...I agree that emotionally/mentally I'm also behind, developmentally. It IS exhausting that simple things, for us, take so much effort (like putting together a meal, even settling into a daily routine). I remember thinking a few months ago (and for some things even a few weeks ago) that what I was doing wasn't sustainable because it was just SO hard, but things have gotten easier, even if just a little less effortful. It will shift. =]Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576028074282155201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695637518572363731.post-47466641379362645912012-07-10T20:15:23.286-04:002012-07-10T20:15:23.286-04:00When I read this, this quote came to mind:
"...When I read this, this quote came to mind:<br /><br />"Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.”<br />- Albert Camus -<br /><br />This will not be permanent. Other people have not, are not fighting the battles you are, havent lived the experiences you have - and theyre not you. So you cant compare. I think your honesty in this is so beautiful and the idea of a bliss list is fab. <br /><br />You have strength enough to do this, you are doing this, and thats truly amazing xxxTraceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377202324574452222noreply@blogger.com
