RE: When Silence is the Best Response

in Silver Bloggers2 years ago

I don't seem to be able to leave your blog tonight...or should I say this morning, for it is 3.30 am here on my side of the world. Oh Nicky, my heart is all over the show with your posts. I am at once filled with sadness for the loss of your beautiful boy Toby and how that must be impacting both you and your son, and also in such joy for the way in which you respond to everything that life has thrown at you. You are such an inspiration. You speak with such insight and acute understanding and sensitivity but you also call things as they are.

Grief is one of life's passages... and it seems you have had to experience it on more occasions and in more forms than a person should have to... it is so incredibly difficult to navigate without the love and support and guidance of close friends and family, and we do have to experience it fully to be able to gain peace. I did with my mom... and I feel the difference now. I am sending you so much love and a big hug 💗💗💗

And I see the recurring theme of the spaces in between, the quietude that is so essential. Keep taking those moments, Nicky. They are precious and necessary in life... and the still hours of the night... my favourite time for me.

Love you❣️

I can't really say anything to a comment like this except thank you from the inner most core of my heart.

And that I actually have to step away to find my balance after reading it...

Love you. Hope you are having a beautiful weekend. I am busy reading your blog. I made a conscious decision after feeling frustrated and sad that I was missing some of my favourite people during the week, due to other Hive commitments and life in general, that weekends on Hive would be purely for my own pleasure. I did see your reply previously... I don't know how I didn't respond to it... a million things may have got in the way... I have no excuse !LUV

You don't need excuses around here :)

Come and go and return as you are

It's always wonderful to see and hear from you. I'm glad you're taking some down time and looking after yourself!

Online work is so stressful. I think it's the pace of it and the fact that it never stops

I took a few slow days online this week and am feeling far more positive!

But I tend to go totally overboard with the internet. I'm an information addict :/

And I can stay on my laptop without sleeping when a creative urge strikes

So slow and steady wins the race.

Sending only love.

ps. You're always in my thoughts as well. I know you're busy building behind the scenes. 🙏👍❤️

hehe I feel you there... the amount of times I fall asleep at my desk... lost count hahaha. Funny how as a some-time writer now, pulling an all-nighter has such different connotations to my younger years 😂😂

ps. You're always in my thoughts as well. I know you're busy building behind the scenes. 🙏👍❤️

Ditto, my lovely. And thank you for understanding. Sending that love straight back - redoubled 💗
