Day 4: Kickin' It Old Skool Blog Challenge

-
Throughout December I am Kickin’ It Old Skool with Jamie Ridler, Shannon Ridler, and a whole group of other creative bloggers. We’re bringing back the days when blogging was fun and not just another chore on the social media frontier. Join in any time! The more the merrier.

Today we're exploring what the weather is like where we live and for me it was a chilly Fall day. Not cold enough to warrant winter coats, but cool enough to put our hoodies up as we moved leaves out of the open yard and into the woods.

The sky gleamed dull white most of the day until clouds pulled apart enough to let pale blue show through.

All-in-all, not a bad day.

How's the weather where you are today? Were you able to get a little outside time?

    I'd LOVE to be where you are. It reminds me when I used to live in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I would still have some flowers growing in my garden at Christmas--hardy pansies...Now, I'm back where I grew up in Manitoba and it's ccccoooold and snowy! Enjoy!

    I really enjoyed your photos. It made me feel some longing for nature ( I live in NYC).

    Your photos are beautiful. They remind me of fall when I was younger. I loved my hoodies then and I still do.

    We were supposed to have lots of rain yesterday but the sun did get a chance to peek through. It looks like today will be the same. When I look out the window it looks like it should be cold but it is actually warm and of course humid.

    Have a great day. I talked to my sister last night and she said you were supposed to have mild temperatures in your area of the country - at least for a day or two.

What It’s Really Like to Have Anxiety

“People who need help sometimes look a lot like people who don’t need help.” -Glennon Doyle
I can’t say with any certainty that I am viewed as having it all together. I have, however, been complimented for my ability to remain calm or to calm others. In my days as a project manager, it was a strength often highlighted in my performance reviews. One supervisor actually used to mistake my calm attitude for a lack of understanding the urgency of the issue, until he learned I very much understand the urgency, but can’t address it if I get frantic.

During my application process to become a Hospice volunteer, the coordinator told me after speaking to my three references that she had never seen a single word used so consistently to describe someone. What word is that, I asked. “Calm. Every single person commented on how calm you are.”

Calm. That is a marvelous state.

Imagine how it must feel to be known for being calm and to hold a diagnosis of anxiety. It sometimes feels that my entire sel…

I type my email address into the box and click. Another screen pops up: “Confirm your humanity.” I check a box and it is done. Humanity confirmed. But I wonder what am I doing in my life today to confirm my humanity?
