Endure to Enlighten the Shadows We Traverse...Someday

       I know, I've been a little dry on the posts, lately.  My apologies, but life happens, and sometimes we just don't have it in us to maintain the steady rhythm, you know?  Since the PB Project has been all about trying to help us all know that we are not alone in what we face, even if what we each face is not the same, I'm just going to let you know that part of that has been about trying to find ways to give self-care during a rather rough patch, these past months.  I've explained that on the PB Community Facebook Page, but not as much for you.  So there you go.

A Gnarled Bit of Wood

        I have the wonderful opportunity to be able to serve as a volunteer at a local hospital, a few hours, once a week.  This week, volunteering was exhausting, but always nice to get out and do it. While there, I had a couple of really interesting conversations, with some odd sorts of realizations!

Just a Little Moment of Your Lifetime!

        This is one of those times when I take an opportunity to take advantage of something I shared elsewhere, recently, and use it as the foundation for a post.  Because I feel like actually publishing one this week, and I think this topic is as good as any.  I hope you agree!

Some Musing of Lessons and Random Vulnerability

        I've not been able to write much, lately.  Probably a bit of burnout, I'd imagine.  I keep getting to the point where I open the browser, start to put something into the keyboard and onto the screen, and then kinda just stare at it, no idea coming to mind as to how to continue.  Then I go to the archives and start searching for one I can share to the PB Community Facebook Page on Monday mornings (US time), and can end up in myriad emotions.

        This was the result of such a process.
I hope it's worthy of the time it takes to read it, if you do, in fact, choose to continue.  I kind of just decided to go with the flow and let it be whatever it ends up being.  So be it.

Failures, Do-Overs, If Onlys, and Choices

Life is weird. 

In Review, and in Preview

        Something a little different this week.  I posted this elsewhere in my little world, but I felt like it was something worth sharing here, so I'm going to do it, maybe with slight differences.

A Little Dose of Reality

        This week, I want to approach something of a bit of a sensitive nature.  I truly hope that those for whom it might be a bit triggering will allow me to finish my point before giving up on me, because it's about how we face our own mortality when - well, faced with our own mortality.  It really shouldn't be too bad, but I like to give people the heads up.
