Pink Reptile Design: The Dear Wallace Font (in the speech bubble)
Journaling font is Dear Theo.
Journaling reads: Looking back, never ever things were all easy, always, always life presents daily battles, we fight, we hurt, we conquer, even the small victories can give so many moments of laughter, pride, happiness, whatever way we look at it and in any levels, we always have a new, small or great battle to confront. I have learned to look at all through a hopeful lens in the past few years,but 2016 really really was something. We did have some amazing moments, but all weight in the scales, it was so heavy on the hard times, it almost drained me, harsh, completely of energy. The good moments were great, some of my most loved
friendships came through and I had the blessing on making new ones, and some of those middle of the way came through for me in ways I had never expected, which helps a great deal. All help to soften the blow of the disappointments, but the worse overall, the year seemed long and slow, and the trials, with a
Kafkian tone, left me once again wondering why I keep going. I get some answers, all seems to move forward and here comes another blow...death of dear ones, chaos all around,but most of all in the very core of what should be the force that drives me to keep going. I am still to make some decisions and none are the easy kind. The year is gone, and in an ironic twist I am left with 3 broken appliances broken body and a drained mind and heart... I have stopped stressing too much because, of
course, it does not help, but the constant disappointment keeps coming at me like relentless waves, a reminder of that day on the Leblon's cliff, the accident the mid 80s... or was it 88? That is another issue, my brain is so worn out that the images are difficult to focus and I get years wrong, forget e entire ones. but still there is a place to go, bless my brother for giving Dad the laptop, and bless the Internet and Denise (hope you are singing with the angels, my dear dear friend)because it was through her that I ended up becoming the one I am today, in the scrapping world and the so amazing gems of the people whom I have so much to thank... Another year. Trying very hard here to start with a smile and a positive attitude. Even though everything in
& and around me is broken, and 3 hours at the the Apple store today did not help, but there again, time spent with Clemmy
which was music to my heart, a good chat and the wonderful re assurance of having people who really,really want to help and come each & every time without expecting anything, anything at all in return.... Bye bye 2016. I will recover the energy you stole from me, and take one day at the time, take my time to restore my body & mind, give my soul some warmth and one way or another with the will power that still is left in me, will walk my path, wherever it takes me and make the very best....
My year round up... the telephone defines pretty much the ordeal/suffering through endless phone calls to hospital, social services, my GP (who is a wonderful woman!!), private companies, pharmacy....and my ended up broken in every way possible...body, mind, soul and bank account LOL. I treasure The Pad, for is you all here, and particularly some very special people who give me their best, their time and understanding, advice and, above all, love.
Trying my best in this old & tired Mac, I'm hoping to be able to catch up with you all soon!!!!
TFL!!!
