I wish I could find the tipping point to a more positive mood. I've had a pervading sense of sadness and loss lately, and I'm not sure why – although I suspect it is cumulative. No point in itemizing; besides, some are not mine to share. The best way through it to keep moving forward, doing what needs doing, appreciating beauty, petting puppies, counting blessings, focusing on faith.
Edited: I posted this, and then found tomorrow's 40 Acts in my inbox. Act 18 – Persist fit like a glove over my cold hand. Isn't that just like the Lord – "a word spoken in due season, how good it is!" (Proverbs 15:23)
That's it for today from . . .

I'm sorry I haven't been commenting recently - either not reading blogs, or away in the UK!!!
Glad that 40 Acts has been able to help at apposite times. I have rather let go of it, but hope to pick it up again soon, at least until the next chemo session!
I think this time of year can be challenging - especially if you have other challenges in your life. I am so ready for spring, for the end of snow, to see something green - other than all the downed pine branches. Sending you a big hug from the snowy NE.
I'm sending you a big hug, hoping that your days get brighter. That you'll tip over the edge to that side. Sad days are hard...
Sending sympathy over your teeth trouble. I have fillings tomorrow, and at the weekend one of my crowns dropped out. Sometimes I go for ages with no trouble, then they all decide to cause trouble at once. I think when all is not well in that department you can feel dragged down without realising it. Best wishes.
I saw the dentist today to have a crown put on a bicuspid that I'd been warned had cracks. Sure enough it broke into bits as soon as he started drilling out the ancient filling. ugh. Persist is the perfect word for me in this time!
It's encouraging how God brings the right word, thought or passage to let a person know that He's with us, guiding us even when we can't even make sense of where we're at emotionally, physically, mentally.
You've been having gorgeous sunrises and sunsets!!! We only get the shards in this little valley.
Whenever we have feelings such as your sadness and loss, we can almost always figure out why. Usually it's not just a single cause, but maybe the accumulation of a bunch of causes, some not even very big. It kind of gangs up on you. We can't always be up and chirky. Sometimes we just have to let those down and draggy feelings work their way out and not beat ourselves up for having them. You have great faith, Michelle, and I know that has pulled you through some tough spots. Hoping all looks and feels much better for you soon. Hugs.
