Ugh!



It can be a perfectly new and untarnished spring morning with so much potential. You can be blissfully sipping coffee and innocently checking quickly for emails and totally unprepared for that hard sucker punch in the gut from someone you love more than life itself. You are suddenly feeling so small and bewildered, and then the day becomes very different and the coffee very acidic.



(This has nothing to do with my prior post.)

  3. horrible feeling isn't it? that sinking in the stomach, the burning in the chest - hoping whatever is broken can be mended

  4. I hope looking back in a week or two, this pain will be gone and maybe even seem silly by then.

    I love your picture with this post. Any chance it is original art work by you?

  5. Yes, Grannie, it is a lovely pansy that I re-colored digitally. It really reflected how I felt at the time, but as my blog readers kindly note...with time I am feeling a little better.

  7. I hope the effects of that punch in the gut are wearing off a little?
    Perhaps it isn't as bad as it seems. (platitude, I know) I don't know what else to say. Catch your breath take a deep one reassemble your guts.

  8. I am so sorry. I know the feeling. I'm glad to see from the comments that you are feeling at least a little calmer. Hang in. Love.

  10. Oh dear, that is the worst. The people we love the most have the most access to hurting us. It's the way of things, and the risk of love.

    And it will always feel terrible. I'm sorry that's how you started your day. I'm not sure what happened, but I hope you soon get it worked out. Sounds like someone had a moment (or a hundred) of not living up to their best, then clicked send on an email.

    Oh the immediacy of email, eh? It's wonderful and occasionally torturous. Allowing us to send thoughts and words winging away instantly. Sometimes before we've had a chance to cool down, or think better of it.

    I hope that's all this was...someone clicking "send" when they should have been thinking better of it.

  11. I will join the chorus to say I know how this feels, too. A sickening feeling. Hope your day improves.

  12. I am so sorry. I know the feeling in the gut and the heart.
    Hope it passes quickly.

  13. We all know that feeling, laced with adrenaline, but at this point we also know it will pass. Good to allow ourselves feel and know.

    How in heck did you reverse those colors in the photo?

    I answered your comment about coming up with so many TT's.

  14. Colleen I fiddled with the tones by stretching them in the curve tool.
