Things to say about taking time, about losing and finding perspective.
Lots to say about the comfort of wonderful people, and the amazing lengths to which they are willing to go.
Thoughts about the perils of being hemmed in by nothing other than one's own (unfounded) anxieties.
And thoughts about how on earth to escape them.
Big things, then. Complicated, largely inexpressible things. Ones that didn't fit into a blog post - at least not one that anyone would want to read.
Things that probably need a few nights' sleep to see more clearly.
If you find the answer to these problems please let me know - I have slept on them quite a few nights but am no nearer finding a solution . . .

Sometimes it is enough to think the things in one's head. Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteit looks like an amazing place, I hope you can work out your thoughts now you are home x
ReplyDeleteDamn.
ReplyDeleteI think this post is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI know quite how you feel, I'm sure I feel the same.
Nice to have you back.
That cork man is going to keep me awake at night too.
ReplyDelete(Looks like a great place to try to figure things out)
I will be waiting for the full scoop (and trying not to tap my toe too loudly). Looks like an idyllic place (except for Creepy Cork Man).
ReplyDeleteHave you been wandering around in my head while you were away? C.x
ReplyDeleteCork man looks awfully a lot like me.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing, this post. Yesterday I was hit cold and hard by an anonymous letter which sprang a horrible thing on me (and my family).
What to do next?
I confide on my beloved blog friends to find the strength to ignore, stand up, hold my head high and just keep on going.
...but look what you found! Lovely photos that make me want to visit!
ReplyDeleteI wondered where you were, I hope you enjoyed it there and that the anxieties depart pronto. I do know what you mean, I have been worrying all week about something that I kept putting off, now I've done something about it but there will be no outcome for over a week so I shall continue to worry away at it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a perfect post just the way it is. It makes readers ponder, as it should. A verb we should take more advantage of, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good time despite all the wonderings and the creepy cork man.
ReplyDeleteYou know we will read anything and offer all sorts of helpful (and unhelpful) comments. Time to bare the soul!!!
Paola - goodness, that sounds frightening. It's at times like these that I wish I had your email address. I hope everything works out fine, I really, really do.
ReplyDeletejfb57 - it is a rather gorgeous place, I'll give you that.
I'm Crayon - yes. Ponder is always good. I like myther, too.
Helen - you're very kind. What did I do to deserve you?
ReplyDeleteCoffelady, I love your blog. The photos of your trip are beautiful and have just the right amount of commentary. I also enjoyed reading your previous post about blogging along with all of the insightful comments of your readers. I will definitely be back, a lot of wisdom to glean here, thank you!
ReplyDelete... not making a very good first impression misspelling your name on my first comment, my apologies!
ReplyDeleteEek that ~Cork Man is certainly a character to give anyone the shivers.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me like you expressed those things rather well. That looks like a very peaceful place.
ReplyDeleteMegan - thank you. And it really was.
