Resources for when everything is falling apart, handy links only.

Thats right, just the links I've found useful tonight. I'm a human being blogging, my life has stuff going on that I process away from blogging. And tonight it involved getting myself informed about pulling myself out of an emotional black spot.

I only like step 1 of this one, very important. The other steps resonate better elsewhere. (wikihow)

This one really resonated with me. I immediately went and joined some groups on facebook that related to issues in my life - one of them was an elder care page that I liked, with plenty of links and useful information. This will be so important to ease the feeling of doing it alone. Thank you to the freedom experiment.  This cluey write also suggests tackling the problem that will take 20% of energy to fix, but are causing 80% of the worry. I don't know which one that is right now, too many options!

"Don’t run away from your fear, Pema says. Lean into it." it isn't the simple answer but there is a truth in feeling the fear, and then moving along (with it if necessary).

These others are the ones that I just can't digest right now.

The common theme seems to be gratitude. I'm going to find my 3 things to be grateful for today.

1. I'm grateful for my house. It may be slowly becoming more run down, but it is mine.

2. I'm grateful for my friends and family who I've chatted to today

3. I'm grateful for my mother in law who knows all things cooking and is just a phone call away with the answers :)

Bless!
