I'm not having a good day today. Had good intentions of spending the morning catching up on 365, but all went a bit pear shaped as the day progressed and it has turned into quite a sad day.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
When things are bad there is nothing better than a walk along a deserted beach in the sunshine to blow the cobwebs away.
Weatherwise it has been beautiful today and we are lucky enough to live so close to a really quiet beach and a walk along it brightens up the darkest of days.
You are so brave Babs and use your irrepressible sense of humour to mask your immense sadness I'm sure. I have a friend who lost her son in July last year, 26, in utterly tragic and horrific circumstances. She is in a bad place, she retired two years ago, husband still at work and her remaining daughter just back to work. She has far to much time on her hands to let grief overwhelm her. I am going to suggest she joins this community and encourage her to 'look for the good in every day' as you do. Sending you a hug and hope you are back on your feet today. Beautiful beach. I hope the softly rolling waves soothed you a little.
Wish I could help Babs. I never know what to say that will be of any use. Even on a really bad day your photos are good and I do look forward to seeing them x .
I'm very sorry you are having a sad day Babs, I know that the beach always makes me feel better too. you are very dedicated to still get on and post some photos, thank you for sharing them with us today. I hope you feel a bit better soon.
Hope your are felling better. I'm facing one of those tough days today. I plan to take my camera with me. There is something about the camera that helps take the focus from within. The water in the photo looks like it contains little jewels.
Like many others here, I hope your feeling better soon. Sorry to hear your feeling down but just remember, when you have a bad day it just means that the next one has to be a little better right? :)
A beautiful photo nonetheless, so pretty x
@sioux Thanks so much Sue. Today is a better day. We have so much to deal with at the moment to do with Zoe. (Our daughter who died just over a year ago) and most of the time we come to acceptance but still have very sad days when we are dealing with legal stuff to do with her. I bounce back and will be okay. Thanks for the hugs. Much appreciated.
@jackie8 Thanks so much Jackie. Had legal stuff to deal with yesterday to do with Zoe and it all got a bit too much. Most of the time I am fine now, but it does catch up unexpectedly. Tell your friend to join 365 it is the best thing I ever did. As you know Deb and I started here together just before Zoe died and we both decided to carry on. To go out each day and find something good in the world is very therapeutic. I had a lovely long chat to Deb last night as she has had a few bad days lately and we bounced off each other. Feeling much better today. A walk on our lovely local beach always cheers me up and if I see a dolphin swimming by even better. Thanks so much.
@chimfa Thanks so much Jane. Feeling much better today. Just had a very sad day yesterday. Will email you. There is nothing anyone can do so don't worry. As you know I bounce so will be fine. Take care.
@karlow75 Thanks so much Kane. Had a lot to deal with yesterday and it all got a bit too much. I do bounce back though and a walk on our local beach works wonders. Saw two dolphins swimming by too which always brings a smile to the face. Lovely to have a beach almost to yourself. Only saw one other person. More like a spring day yesterday rather than almost winter.
@ourrube Thanks so much Ruby. Nothing better than a walk along a deserted beach in the sunshine. Almost winter here but a beautiful day yesterday with gorgeous sunshine. I am feeling much better today. I always bounce back.
@pcoulson Thanks so much Peter. The sad days are getting less but will be always with me I am sure. Nothing better than a walk on our local beach to blow the cobwebs away.
@hermann Thanks so much Sally. I bounce back and today is a better day. Had things to deal with to do with Zoe yesterday and it all got a bit too much.
@nanm Thanks so much Nancy. Hope your day is better today too. A walk along a beach with a camera works wonders. I go out and take photos for Zoe as she can no longer do that now. I bounce back and so will you. Take care.
@net Thanks so much Lynette. Today is a brighter day. I had a lot of things to deal with yesterday and wasn't expecting it to be as emotional as it was.
@lilminimonka Thanks Brianna. You are right. Today is a brighter day. Too many things to deal with yesterday all at one time and it got a bit much as the day progressed. A walk on the beach always blows the cobwebs away.
Love this shot....my favorite thing to do also! So sorry about your day. Hope that it something that can improve.Will be thinking of you. Also hope the walk helped..I am sure it did. I could sit and watch the ocean for hours and hours. Best wishes Babs!
@kathiecb Thanks so much Kathie. Nothing like a walk along the beach to recahrge your battery!
@golftragic Thanks Marnie. I just loved the bubbles on the water.
@eyesmile Thanks Gena. Dealing with legal stuff to do with Zoe and it always gets a bit heavy going which brings back the sadness. I bounce back and feeling much better today. Nothing better than a few walks on the beach.
@leestevo Thanks Lee-Ann feeling much better today
@nixhendo11 Thanks Nicola and thanks for dropping by. I agree the beach has wonderful healing properties.
@wanabe Thanks Meredith. Whenever we have to deal with pretty heafvy stuff I just need a couple of days to recharge. I am being kind to myself. A couple of walks along the beach and out for lunch yesterday will lemon meringue pie for dessert have helped a lot.
Babs, sorry to read about the difficult things you need to deal with. All along you've been so supportive of me in my illness. Thank you for putting your sadness aside to encourage me. You're super woman!
