Notice her obvious confusion? It's kinda how I feel at present. I'm not just sure what I should be doing to fix something that has gone wrong.
I've started this post a dozen times and dumped the contents just as many. So I am going to keep this short and sweet. I'm struggling hard just now. I am cutting out everything 'extra' that I possibly can. And since meals and boys and housekeeping and family needs can't go away, I have to drop all the other stuff I love so very much. Writing, my attempt at starting a new business, reading, speaking in complete sentences.
Mentally, it's come down to this.
I'll be back. I will. But for now, I just can't keep it all up. Hugs to each of you who have supported me in words and thoughts and prayers. Keep me in mind. Please.

I knew this season would be a rough one. I'm sorry that there have many other things thrown on the fire. Praying that you are able to reduce enough to find some peace. I look forward to your return!
Praying for you, Terri.
God bless, Kathy in Illinois
Oh Terri ... sending hugs, prayers and wishes for this tough season to pass for you. :)
Sending prayers, you have been through several life changes and must be very kind to yourself! I enjoy your blog and always look forward to your posts. Blessed be. Becki
Yes, You can only spread yourself so thin... so your choice is to cut back or clone yourself..
Looking forward to this season ending for you soon.
Hugs,

Oh bless your heart. Do what you gotta do and take care of you as best you can. Hugs
Thinking of you - take care of yourself! Elizabeth
Will keep checking back for you and keeping you in my prayers. Some seasons are harder than others. But they are just usually that - a season. God always has a reason we just may not see it at the time we are going through it. Love on your family but love on yourself too! Take care and I will keep checking in.
Take care of yourself. You are in my prayers. I look forward to your return BUT in the meantime take care.
Gentle hugs and 🙏 prayers 🙏
Keeping you in thoughts and prayers, Terri! Hang in there, and we'll see you when things quiet down!
Dear Terri, Thank-you so much for sharing your joys and struggles -your strength and commitment are inspiring. Know you are in my thoughts and in the thoughts of so many others too. Know you are loved. Be gentle with yourself. See you later. Jo
You are in my prayers, sweet one. Stay the course. You are not alone.

Many hugs!!! We will all be thinking of you. You are so wise to take the time away from this cyber-home when necessary. You'll be missed, but we all know it is a must for you in this season. <3
Terri, I have been fed, encourage, built up, challenged and much more over the time that I have been reading your blog and it has been a long time. I consider you a friend although we have never met. But you are my sis in Christ. Please know that I pray the love and peace of our Papa God to flow over and in you. For Holy Spirit to refresh you. You are loved and I so appreciate you. I look forward to having you back when you are ready. Many hugs your way. Jennifer in Ohio
Sometimes, you can't even take life one day at a time. You have to go with one minute at a time. I've been there. More times than I care to admit. So, you have my prayers. One of the best things I have done for myself in the past is to look at the Psalms, and then seriously ask God to show me one good thing that day. He has always been faithful.
Thinking of you and wishing only the best for you. I think we can all relate to being pulled every which way that’s why I enjoy reading your posts. Hang in there.
Thinking of you.
Praying for you Terri:)
Praying for you my sweet friend.
Holding you in thought and prayer, dear Terri!
I understand my friend...it is a tough season of life for us too. My beloved father passed away unexpectedly after a very brief illness a week and a half ago and our entire family is reeling in shock and loss. Sending prayers to you and yours as well as thanks for all you have done and will do when things calm down.
Love,
Tracey

Thinking of you and praying for you. I will continue to check back and visit when you get back. Just remember.... this too will pass. Take care of you.
Will be watching for your return. Sometimes life hands us lemons and we really don't know what to do. Just remember John is your sugar in your lemonade. When he wants to whisk you away, remember the other people in your house are not your responsibility. The boys have parents, and they have an obligation to be responsible parents. Wish this old Gramma was there and us two diabetics would go get some tea and dream of exotic places! Gramma D
Take care of yourself! We will be here when you are able to return.
Sending hugs and prayers.
Life can be overwhelming sometimes. Take care of yourself and know you have many friends who care about you.
Take care of YOU. The boys gave parents, your husband is an adult, and you cannot take care of others when you’re mentally in a bad place. Positive energy your way. - Rina
Lifting you up with my thoughts and prayers as you move through this difficult time.
I'll be looking forward to reading you posts once again when everything has settled down and you are ready to write again. I will miss reading your lovely posts until then. Take care.
I've been out of the blogging loop for a while while I recover from total knee replacement of my right knee.
I hope everything goes well for you and your family.
