I wanted to have a casual conversation like how I would do it with a friend and tell you how I am managing things, is it difficult for me, am I liking it, etc.

The blog about the same will also go up tomorrow, which I am so excited for. In fact, I was not going to post anything today but I would be lying if I say that I am not addicted to sharing every little detail of my life with you all through my blogs. Honestly, I just want to be as transparent as I can because the genuine exchange of energy is working well for me, my blog and my mental health.

I want to be back where, once upon a time, the previous “me” used to be

Keywords: Stories of my life – some , coping , grief journey , joy , loss

The “me” in this photo is almost the “me” before my parents died. This “me” is the one who almost always had an inner joy. Even on the darkest day, this “me” could talk myself out of despair. The current me is “walking a narrow path through the loss………taking sips of sorrow…..” as Julia Alvarez says in her beautiful novel Afterlife.

One of the things I wanted to put into action was building my tribe – connecting with other like-minded midlife women

So far, my experiences with midlife have given me much to think about. While sometimes I still have to return to my list of coping skills, I usually come out better and happier as a result. I delve deeper into self-work, forgiveness, and compassion. And with all of the chaos and craziness, midlife has helped me reckon with the strange and different I would have probably shied away from years ago. Midlife has helped me welcome the surprises of unpredictability. And in the right light, I find myself reveling more and more in the unknown.

I want to share what I go through on a day to day basis so others will be able to see that there is no shame in having a mental illness and that you can live your life

I also want to be able to show those that are not struggling what it is like so that they can have a better understanding of us. I want to break the stigma.

I’m struggling focusing, but I want to get this done so it’s going out anyway

Keywords: anxiety , arteriovenous malformation , avm , brain fog , brain surgery

Do you [ever] have those day when you are just exhausted and you can’t get anything right? It is so hard. Right after brain surgery that was my daily life. It’s gotten better over the years, but it still happens more often than I’d like. If I can’t sleep at night my next day never goes well.

Some days are just plain tough and that’s okay, there are going to be days that you don’t have it completely under control but cut yourself some slack and don’t take it personally

Remember you are not alone in this – so many these days suffer from anxiety, seek support from others when you need it, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Reaching out shows strength and also demonstrates bravery for speaking out.

When the rest of my life was falling apart, when I was lonely and afraid, depressed and self-destructive, I had dinner

A different way of looking at “the used life,” perhaps. As a means of using our capacities to create a firm foundation. As a way of coping with stress, overwhelm, and crisis. We’ve all got to have something—some series of behaviors, rituals, activities, skills—that make life worth living when it doesn’t feel that way. As for me, mine are rooted in the stuff of daily life. I have discovered that, no matter where I am, as long as I am making use of the present—by being creative, by using my body, by engaging my senses to the fullest and fulfilling the single most important responsibility I have to myself—to be alive— the miraculous is always in my backyard. It’s in my neighbors, my friends and loved ones. It’s in the birds and the butterflies. And, of course, it’s always in my kitchen. It’s dinner, friends. It’s dinner.
