I am feeling down today. Normal for what has come to pass. I got dressed to go run but sacked out on the couch instead. Then vowed to get to the gym, but can't seem to get there either. I took a long nap even though I slept well last night. I picked up some knitting I had put down months ago and listened to an audio book while I knit. Then I went to sit on the patio withmy moleskine wc sketchbook in hand, when I saw the neglected flower pots. The only survivor was the aloe vera plant. It reminded me it's time to begin the healing.

If you can't work out, take a walk. Sleep as much as you need. Water those plants. Find a happy movie. Draw a little. Be good to yourself. People are thinking of you and wishing you well.
I'm with Sherry: Take your time. Pace yourself. And if you need sleep, allow it. Grieving is exhausting and takes LOTS of energy. With warm regard. (And Aloes don't grow all that fast, do they?!!)
Marta, listen to your body. You need time to rejuvenate. You will rise up like the Phoenix. When dealing with painful losses, I found these activities to be both healing and therapuetic. We are all thinking about you and will keep you in prayers.
This is a good first start to feeling better. Express yourself, walk and take it easy while you heal.
Hugs
very poignant - one must grieve before one can heal, sweet post - my heart goes out to you all.
It takes the Heart a little time to accept, such a shock. So, much disappointment, too much what If, and too much of why Us, But you have us, Rest is great! It lets the mind reckon with the Heart. After all, it has to adjust, You have Our Prayers, and Grand wishes, Have a great Summer.
I am almost getting my New adventure: Working from Home. I am feeling the stress go away.

Marta -- I'm just now reading about your family's tragedy. I'm so sorry for all of you -- it's no wonder that you feel like kind of just sitting down for a bit. Your family, and especially the children, will be in my prayers.
Yes, Marta time to start healing. One foot in front of the other. Healing thoughts coming your way.
Marta, I am sure that sometimes we all need a special break either for our body or our mind. When we are experiencing emotional event may be our body and mind can link together and ask us to keep things slow. I hope you get a good needed rest. Your sketch is always lovely. And just look at the beautiful little plant, it can heal us all with its hidden mighty power.

Marta, so much to deal with these days. Hugs, we will have a good cry and healing time on Tuesday! Bring your suit so we can cool off!
the aloe (beautifully drawn I might add) is also a resilient plant. take all the time you need.
(((Marta))), time helps...I can't imagine how you must be feeling, well I can, but one can never totally.
beautiful painting.
plants and flowers are like that... they remind us that time passes and none of us are here forever.
It's a beautiful drawing Marta.

I just came over here to see your new stuff and read about your family tragedy. I'm so sorry for your family and for those children. I'm sure you will express yourself in your artwork, and begin that healing process.
Peace and prayers to your family and especially those beautiful children.
Sending healing vibes your way, Marta, and still keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
