The Overnight Walk and The Morning After

[lyssabard]

My life's been a mix of late of doing spiritual practice work, online and in workshop with T. Thorn Coyle, working on yarn and jewelry, despairing and planning to send out my resume once again, the birth of my sister's first child, and overshadowing the whole thing: preparing for the Out of the Darkness Overnight walk

You did an amazing job, and your parents are their own deep mess. You have to just remember that you don't have to carry their water.

Yeah, I have really been digging into that for the past two years and it sucks but is necessary.
And thank you, love. I am signing up to walk a half marathon in October, next. Because I can. :) (And because thewronghands told me it was possible and provided temptation. So I have tempted silvrdragn and stardansr in return, and a few others....:)) I am looking forward to it. Oh, and starting to lift weights. :)

Love you lots, hon.

You basically just did that - a half marathon is under 14 miles. You can totally do it!

Love you, too!

HOW DID I MISS THIS POST?

Congrats, you! And sympathies on the family stuff. There's a lot of that I only recently started to realise was still affecting me, not to mention actually start digging myself out of. It's a process. You're working on it. You're awesome :)

Ack! How did I miss this comment?! :)

Thank you for all the encouragement and support! The walk really was utterly amazing, and I look forward to doing more of them, now that I know I can.:) And yeah...family. *sigh* I want it to improve, as much as it is in my power to do so, but it is also a thing not entirely in my control. Just my own actions. Ah, well. Complicated humans and their feels.

Thank you again!
