Do you have a minute?

Elsie LMC

Do you have a minute?

All of these thoughts are rushing through my head

a jumble of incoherent words that result in “I don’t know”

whenever you ask “what’s wrong?”

Do you have an hour?

I’d tell you if I knew

…what to say…

…what has changed…

…what it takes to figure this all out.

I don’t know what you can do to help

I don’t even know what to do for myself.

Something has broken

something irreparable

something I didn’t know existed.

Do you have some time?

Im not going to be here for awhile

but I’ll be back soon, I can feel it.

This is a resting phase where all that matters is the stuff that doesn’t make sense.

I’ve been trying to put into words how I’m feeling for a while now and I think this explains it so I thought I’d share it with you. I’m slowly but surely moving away from it but I wanted to acknowledge it so that when it has passed I can look back and be grateful for the reprieve. Hopefully then I will be able to make sense of it. What do you do when you’re upset about something that you cannot change? And how do you figure out what to do next when you’re stuck? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I hope you’re having a lovely day, take care & I’ll see you soon! 😊❤️

  2. You’ve beautifully Elsie. I think it’s nice to write the confusion of where we’re at when we’re there. Yes, I get upset about things I can’t change. I try not to let them camp out in my head for too long if I can help it. But some days that’s hard to do. I love to walk and read and write. Those help some. I try to remember that I cannot change most things outside of me. I can only decide how I will act for myself and towards others. I hope always to act with kindness. And I do small things in the meantime like a favorite cup of tea or cookie, spend time with my kitty, write…the little things that make you smile.
    Take care,
    Suzanne ❤️🌷

  3. Your plate sounds full but little by little you will get through it. In times like that I have found taking a step back from everything helps to clear my head. Over the years, I have learnt that difficult times don’t really mean to stress us but to stretch us because they are really seasons for growth and development. My suggestion, try not to over analyze but instead trust that the Creator of All things has a plan even in the midst of your uncertainties. Hope this helps. Stay strong because this too shall pass. 🙂

  5. You certainly put your feelings beautifully, Lucy… I am stuck with prose, though one cannot have everything, I suppose. We are all prey to moments of disquiet and I tide it too often miserably (and it is really okay to be miserable though it does not feel like it), but what helps me really are long walks by the waters. Calms me down. You shall be okay, girl. xx

      1. Of course, any time. I think any kind of physical activity revs up the spirit. I forgot to mention that I also clean like a dervish and it is an instant pick-me-up. (Feeling low clearly has its perks!) xx

      2. It really does! At the beginning of the year I tried Pilates and it made me feel very awake + positive. Haha I wish I had that personality trait! My room is a mess but in saying that I did attempt to tidy it on Monday and am happy with how it’s cleaner than it was before 😂❤️xx
