Then there is the whole thing about what I should do versus what really needs to get done. I am putting off too many things...avoiding the tasks that are not enjoyable but piling up...which is making me really nervous...because the piles keep getting bigger and I keep running away from them hoping it all magically works out somehow (which it won't). Where are the magic elves when I need them?
Then, I am just trying to find my voice here at this blog...feeling like I am coming up "short." *sigh*
I am just not feeling like myself lately. A bit out of focus. A bit out of control. A bit blah.
Sorry for the whining today...but thanks for listening :)

Yeah, those friggin' magic elves have stood me up too, the little #@$%!!
I am a magical elf and would help if I could. *smile*
you do have a voice, it's you - the you that you reveal and show us. it doesn't have to be anything - you know that we will be around. I think when you try to force it that it hides in the closets and refuses to come out. as you would advise us, relax and give yourself a break - it's fine.
My illness was partly caused by something like a stroke so I am trying to find myself again too. Enjoy the journey of really finding out who you are :) The rest will fall in to place :)
Caroline -- I think you are preparing to make a "leap of faith." I've found that right before I make a big decision, I feel very uncertain and a bit lost.
Whatever this decision is, you will eventually make it. Just be patient with yourself.
Regarding Whimsical Whispers, I love this blog you've created. I love your pictures and your writings very much:~)
Hi my Friend,
I like the idea of streamlining your various places on the internet. That is probably why I only have one place right now. I think you should have a central place to connect to all your various elements or combine them..I get confused, like Is Nowords a part of Whimiscal Whispers and then you also post on Zen in you on the same day?...In my opinion, pick one place, tell everyone where to go and combine your thoughts about Zen, Whispers and Nowordz. Just my 2 cents. :)
I was thinking about you the other day. I went to Chicago's Chinatown and took a bunch of images. This one was a kinda of tribute to you, because I was thinking how i could make it more Zen. :)
If you go on my FB page, it is the one with the peachy colored one with the Chinese lanterns.
Peace.
wow..do I know how you feel and even though you tried to put it into words, I bet you still didn't quite get out what's going on in the inside, no ?
I often blame it on this time of year...summer being over...winter hanging above us just waiting to fall...the pressures of the holidays before us...
it's kind of a smothering, neck choking, let me breathe kind of feeing....and oh by the way, let me really like myself and feel like I'm contributing to the world while I'm at it.......
oops...maybe that's just me right now....but I hate being alone and was thinking that your feelings and mine are similar right now....
and as mom always says...this too shall pass....
thinking of you today :)
Hey, my best advice is just take a day off. Don't blog for a day if you can. Just do other things you like and the answer will come to you. That's what I do.
I feel this way periodically and know that I have to work through it...I have no advice but always a listening ear and an admiring heart as I relish your posts here with the special photos~elk
Wow, I'm glad to not be the only one who feels stuck sometimes. .I look to your blog for inspiration, because you are amazingly talented, so don't give up. Just take a day or two off to rejuvinate!
I didn't hear any whining, did you? :-D I did hear an honest voice - so refreshing! It's the season, of course; this transition time messes us all up. I wander around (usually online), knowing I have a list of things to do, but unable to calm down my monkey mind. I need to sit and meditate and focus, I think. As to your blogs, I'd love to find you in one place, just so I always know right where to go.
Love and light to you,
Rose
Well ok, Let me tell you a little secret, Your Blog is one of the finest that I visit, excellent photography and interesting content! And when a photographer tells you that your photos are excellent, well that's a compliment!
So Caroline, keep your chin up, take your time and one step at a time. What ever you do will be fine.
Hugs,
Glen
Thanks everyone for your comments today...feel so much better :)
XOXO
i hear ya! i hope it gets better!
my whole life is in a BLAH stage. i have no idea what to do. but i guess i'll keep plugging along until some focus (hOPEFULLY!) appears.
My dear friend Sue describes these days as "feeling beige." Good description! Well, we all have these periods, my love, some longer than others. I have been much too busy of late and am thinking of scheduling in some being days just for the heck of it, so I can give myself permission to chill instead of push on.
And sometimes we just have to let go of something, stop resisting, and it will let us go in return. I wonder... Anyway, we love you Ms. C. blah or not. :-)
The photo you posted represents my literal world.... rain, rain, rain fogging up my view. (But oh how sweet it sounds falling during the night when I'm cozy in bed!)
You know we love you.... so don't clean house too much.
(your word verification is "chorse." funny, huh?)
Sending you all my light and love Caroline for your journey ahead.
Remember there are so many of us on this same path.....skipping, laughing, crying together.
Namaste

i totally identify and hate that feeling too. hang in there. with a little action on your part, and moving forward, you will feel like yourself again.
We all have days like that. Love the soft focus..the blurr. A perfect illustration of your 'feelings'
Not "coming up short" at all with what I see...
I can totally appreciate this feeling. Often coming to your blog lifts me up out of that feeling. :-)
I guess we all get that way from time to time and need to find and do whatever works to recenter ourselves, -- or as my partner says to recover our essential selves.
Love your work so much!
I feel the same way about my two blogs. Don't know where they're going but right now too tired to even care.
Your photography is exquisite. I cannot begin to put into words how much I love it.
