More wrecked set-backs, this time regarding a (much needed) job that was more or less offered to me - and then at the last moment withdrawn - in a most unpleasant and unkind manner. Alongside all the other cr*p that is going on in my life at the moment, this latest knock really hurts.
I wish I was tiny and able to move into Honeybee Cottage where people are not unkind and the sun shines everyday. Oh don't worry - I will of course 'pick myself up' and 'look on the bright side' and remember that there are people far worse off than me, but sometimes it is hard to keep being positive and upbeat. Am too worn-out at the moment to even turn to the joy of mini-making to cheer myself up.
Dear Carol, that tearful little kitten says it all. I'm so VERY sorry to read about your most recent 'set-back', I'm sure all your blogging friends wish they were near enough to come and give you a big hug as virtual hugs just aren't the same are they. No point saying look on the bright side or any of the usual words of encouragement you just have to keep meeting every challenge with as much strength as you can muster. I wonder if you have sunshine in Dublin today. I missed the map on the 1.30 weather forecast just now as I was busy knitting a dolly's hat. We are bathed in golden sunshine here in Cumbria and it's so uplifting so I hope you are too and can maybe spend some time in the garden. Take care and let us all know how things progress, they are bound to take a turn for the better anytime soon. love Eli xx
ReplyDeleteThings happen for a reason - there will be something better around the corner!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, I'm so sorry. Life has been kicking me around too and some of it involves people being mean. It is just the worst. I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better. But I do know you will find the bright side. Its what we do right? Just know you are not alone. Big big hugs~ Kim
ReplyDeleteI truly don't understand why people cannot be kind to each other. I hope things start to get better soon ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much. You have no idea how much your support helps. I have never met you but the kindness you have shown me radiates from my screen. Carol :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for you. Life can be very unkind sometimes. I hope you will see light in the tunnel and sonn gets out of it. Keep hope!

Hi Carol, I hope there has been a little bit of real sunshine in Ireland today to cheer you up.
ReplyDeleteChin up honey!
Dear Carol,
ReplyDeleteI deeply feel sorry about these things that are making your life misrable :(
Just let out all the anger and tears! That is what we all do need to do sometimes before we are able to look again on the bright side of life girl.
Just accept the feelings that you feel right now, it's okay!
And I am sure that everything happens for a reason, allthough we often don't know why at that moment, believe me things gen only get better when you hit rock bottom!
I will give you some warm viritual hugs from Greece :)

I am sad for you, Carol. What a horrible thing to happen, and in such a way too. Something similar happened here this week with my husband too, long story involving unions - bah. But there will be something better for you, I am sure, and I hope as soon as possible.

I LOVE YOU, MOM!!! HANG ON IN THE GAME!!!
ReplyDeleteOh la diferencia de idioma, no basta, ya que igual entiendo, tu malestar, la vida es bella y como dice mi amiga, color de rosa, todo pasará pronto y volverás a sonreir. cariños desde Argentina
ReplyDeleteI've lurked on my blog many times, wishing that I had half the talent you have, not only in creating your miniatures, but also in displaying them.
ReplyDeleteI hope life gives you a break very soon. It sounds like you're a rebounder, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt when you have set backs, I know!
I missed this Carol, what a shame, however from the look of the pretty Honeybee Cottage garden you found a good theraputic activity. You know what they say, when the going gets tough the tough get going :) And don't feel guilty about feeling the anger and disappointment, it's totally appropriate, but this too will pass, and looks like it already is :) A big hug from Downunder xx
ReplyDeletePoor you! It is good to let your troubles out when you need it!
