It''s a long story, but I''ll make it fairly short.

I was on leave for a while to sort out my life and my health. Figured out a few things. Still figuring out others. Some are small, some are huge and lifelong. Had a couple of big and unpleasant things happen when I returned from leave. Some days I feel so lost, and on others like I am finally finding myself. Both are scary.

So... I guess I just want dust for me. I did interview for a job that seems fantastic, and separately might have something positive-ish coming out of the unpleasantness I mentioned above. But it''s all up in the air and out of my hands at this point. So... I''m not going to ask for job dust, or luck or anything like that. Jobs come and go, and life is is full of ups and downs. I just want... the ground under my feet to stabilize and for me to figure out ME. I feel like the crew of the wizard of oz. I''m not sure if I''m asking for heart, brains, or courage-- probably all of the above. I just know that I need to find the yellow brick road-- or maybe I''ve found it and just need to fortitude to follow it to it''s conclusion.

I''m not fond of flying monkeys. And right now, I feel surrounded by them. So maybe just some dust for guidance, judgment and strength. Or maybe some red shoes. I don''t know.
 
How about a big hug, Gypsy?



::HUG::



You've got a lot going on... the important thing is for you to take your time figuring it all out. I really believe that if you allow yourself to feel what you feel and everything will fall into place as it will.
 
Thank you Yssie! A hug is perfect. ((HUGS))
 
*****DUST******

Big hugs Gypsy, and lots of dust for some peace and clarity. I totally understand how you are feeling. I hope that being reminded that you are a PS favourite will cheer you up a little!

Aw Gypsy! I''m always routing for you honey. Hope things will get better soon!

TRUCKLOADS OF DUST AND HUGS AND ALL THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Gyp,

Reading your eloquence and creativty in writing, I am yearning for more! I don''t know how to express the shame I feel in learning of your angst-and yet wanting more words to read. Please forgive me.

I suppose I am trying to say, if you think you are down, and are still able to write with such depth and creativity, then, love I have to say I think you are already on the the right path and just aren''t aware of it.

Your words express an enlightenment or awakening that I want to encourage you to see. Face yourself forward and keep in the same motion you have been on as you wrote this post. Just will yourself to break free of the script. The monkeys, the witch, even the tornado is just fiction, part of an OLD script written so very long ago.

And with the same measure of passion and depth, that you wrote this one, you write your next chapter. To include the attributes you already have.

Fortitude, Courage, Judgment and Strength-that is Already IN YOU. Break free and allow that to shine. Keep facing forward, Gyp. We all support and believe in you!




PS. Concerning the red shoes, that is one part that I feel is as valid today as it was then. Retail therapy especially where shoes is concerned is recommended. Go buy some! And stop at Godiva. Chocolate is fortitude fuel!
 
Hugs Gypsy! And if not glittery red shoes, perhaps red patent leather?

You deserve the best, the tides will turn.
 
Hugs to you and mega PS dust coming your way.
 
I''m sorry that you are going through such a difficult time. Dust is on the way...
 
Sending you hugs, love, luck and dust by the bucketload! Hope things improve and start moving in a positive direction really soon!

Thank you luckynumber, all purpose dust is perfect!

Ahh packrat, my friend, the direct approach. I''m going to have to practice my aim. ((HUGS) and many thanks.

Hi April, magic all purpose dust. Can''t get better than that. I think things will get better, just feeling very overwelmed right now. Thank you honey.

Hi Lorelei, ((HUGS)) back and fingers crossed that you are right and the good does show up soon. Thank you!

Hi Porridge, peace and clarity are perfect. And you just reminded me that I can get some peace locally (and not in a bottle). Maybe today I''ll visit the park and just be. I''m sorry you''ve been here too, not a fun place to be. Being reminded that so many wonderful people are my friends is a huge help. BIG thank you!

Hi Lynnie, Thank you for the dust and the companions. Some of this, I think I need to do on my own. But knowing there are friends behind me to turn to is invaluable.

Thank you Tuckins!

Hi Zoe, your optimism might be catching. Even as I type the responses here I''m feeling better. Thank you hon.

Isabel, I don''t know what I would do without you on the sidelines cheering me on. You are a great friend honey. Thank you my dear. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you IndyLady

Lots of dust there, and many thanks. Solid ground... what a welcome thought. ((HUGS))

Hi Bella, ((HUGS)) to you too. I hope you are right. I''m hoping it with all that''s in me.

Hi Mia honey, long time to see. I missed you! Thank you for the dust, a truckload! Wow. Many hugs.

Ahh CasaBlanca, I guess there is an audience for my depressed and stressed out ramblings. Wouldn''t it be nice to be as interesting and eloquent when things are going well? Nothing to forgive

, I understand the impulse. I do have to break the old script, that''s what I''ve been working toward... it was written so long ago and yet it controls me today. It is good to take a look at it now though, and be able to take a red pen and redline it so that the pieces that have been shackling me just disappear under my will. Fortitude is the right word, thank you for giving it to me. That''s exactly what I was missing last night when I just wanted to crawl under a rock and never come out. The sun is out today though, and little buds of hope are coming out of me. I am feeling, right now, that I might be able to win this. I will try to include my own attributes in my next chapter, so that I can realize that my will can accomplish what needs to be done. You are wise my friend. And I am glad you are back. ((HUGS)) and many more things that words cannot express, but that are all grounded in appreciation.

Swimmer, so funny you should say that... I wore red patent pumps to my interview. Maybe they will do the trick. Thank you my friend for your kind thoughts and caring. ((HUG))

Thank you Marcy, Mega dust is wonderful.

Oh Marian, that you can take the time to care about someone else with everything you are going through really shows yours strength of character. Many thanks honey.

Thank you very much Susan. I like the bucketload... not only are the contents invaluable, but the bucket itself can be used to swat a couple of monkeys.

many HUGS and lots of *****DUST***** for you...
 
Gypsy some hugs to make you feel better and dust to get rid of your flying monkies - things have a way of working out eventually :)
 
Gypsy, I'm sorry things are rough right now. You're a strong lady and you will get through it, but I know that's small comfort when you're actually going through yucky patches. I'm sending lots of "happy resolutions to all the things that ail you" dust your way, along with a big hug. Chin up, sweetie, I KNOW that good thing are coming your way and the sooner the better!

sometimes we have to hear ourselves say these things to acknowledge the truth/guidance within. i trust your judgement and strength. i have no doubt that you have the fortitude to survive the flying monkeys.

ps all the dust coming your way will weight down those flying monkey!
 
I assume that all the big decisions and self reflection can''t come easy, but I do very much believe they will have a very grand payoff for you in the end and you will be very happy for this part of your life! Good vibes and positive thoughts to you!
 
Gypsy-obviously there are a lot of people who love you. I hope you feel better soon.
 
***dust!*** and hoping for those ruby slippers to come your way.
 
I know how difficult it is to walk on floating floors. I wish you clarity, wisdom, courage and peace. I know in my heart that you will find the path you belong on. (((hugs)))
 
hugs and dust coming your way! :)
