You have to do what is best for you at this time in your life. I wish you success in everything you do during your “winter”. It sounds peaceful.

scrapmaven it is nice of you to say I'm self aware but I really don't feel like at this point in time I know up from down. I don't know what I'm feeling anymore. I don't know how to fix myself either and I've been going round in circles looking for the answer to fix myself and I'm just not finding it. So I just think I need to sit with myself until I figure it out. I am thinking 4 months is a good amount of time to just be.

You will be greatly missed around here but good for you for taking care of yourself. I hope this period of winter is everything you need and want it to be and we will be here when you get back.

We will be here when and if you’re ready for us again. ❤️ The book was beautiful. She really framed it so eloquently. I have been searching for a while now for the right thing to do. When I found this book at the bookstore I was like...this is it. This is the answer

I wish you well and healing as you go down this path.
If you’re interested, there is a book called “The Story You Need to Tell” by Sandra Marinella and it is about using writing to move through trauma, loss and illness. It’s a relatively short book with concrete writing prompts throughout. I am going through it now and find it therapeutic and gently healing.

You are so very self aware and I trust that you're doing the absolute best thing for your health and well being. Though I'll miss your profound posts on the board I'll be thinking of you and sending you healing, cleansing energy the entire way. This is your time to regroup, recharge and connect w/your deepest self. If you get to a point where you want to post and it feels right then that's ok, too. Ladies, I will update, but only with things that our jeremysgirl approves. I practice the philosophy of "what we say here stays here". So, please understand if I can't give you entire stories. I'm honored by Jeremysgirl's trust. You are always in my thoughts for healing and finding a spot in the universe that brings you happiness and peace. much appreciated, scrapmaven. (((( hugs )))) and huge thanks! jeremysgirl .... I adore you and am so happy you have made this plan to love yourself and to put yourself first. I have been nodding in agreement with every loving and supportive word shared above. Thanks for introducing me to the concept of wintering.. I will be reading more. I used to stuff all of my negative emotions and as a result, ended up very sick for 2 years, 2012-14. I cried 52 years worth of tears during that period. You are making a very wise choice, sweet friend. You will be greatly missed here. Yours is a wise, loving, compassionate voice and we'll be very happy to have you back, WHEN it's right for you. I would love to stay in touch with you off the board. And I love that you'll be dipping your toes into the world of quilting. I wish I could share my fabric stash and tools with you! Love you! flanz aka Liz

I finally opened my mail on Thursday. It's a secret that when I'm depressed the mail just piles up. And you were in my mailbox. Thank you for remembering Esther's birthday. ❤️

I love you, friend. I will miss you but I will show up in your mail box. ♥️ I may even write you a letter back. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg) I definitely will. Snail mail is the way to go when you're Wintering. I believe I still have your address. I will be mindful to send you some happy mail. I'm glad you are taking time for yourself, you've had a tough year. May you heal and burst forth in spring with a renewed sense of self and passion for things that make you "you". <3
