paula Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi Confused12Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you!Struggling to postWhat is it. I am struggling to post. Is it because I am trying so hard to keep things together for this festive season? Or what I wouldn't say that! I think a lot of us are in the same boat? Life goes on!I think a lot of us are overwhelmed by the Festive season? Were not used to it? Especially me anyway! I don't know whether I like all this, everyone being in a happy mood all the time? Life seems so busy all of a sudden! People rushing around, thing's to do, people to see, places to go! It doesn't seem normal? Well it isn't normal is it?Hope you get back to your regular posting asap.Take care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proverbs31:28 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I'm in the same boat. I feel like I have not been able to offer anything to anybody. I read posts and I want to offer support or encouragement and find it hard to do. I don't know if its holidays or what. I think for me I just don't have anything left to give right now.

mscat Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Holiday blues, winter blues, i do n ot know why it is so hard this time of yr. for many people. Maybe it is because we are all conditioned to be happy during the holidays, and we are not, feelings can't be just turned off, especially when "tis the season.":( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confused12 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Thanks Paula, finding my way, Proverbs and mscat.What ever it is I hope it passes soon. Until then I guess I can keep reading and trying to post. Maybe I am a little worn out.Confused12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paula Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 No Confused12! What I think it is, is, that all of a sudden we are expected to give more than we can? It's like gone from a steady flow of post that we can deal with, to an over run of post that we are trying to deal with but are finding that the busy rush as took us by surprise?Also, I think because we have had a lot of new member's recently, it's like these members are introducing themselves to each other, which are starting their own post, to include themselves and that were feeling a bit pushed out? As if were getting our nose pushed out of our own site?That's my thoughts anyway but HEY! They don't mean it! It's good to have new member's! It's like we've had our run of the shop, now it's their turn? But understand, I'm not meaning it in a mean way! I know it sounds like I'm having a go, but far from it. This is a site for everyone, and everyone is welcome! From me anyway!It's like the saying, out with the old and in with the new! Obviously, not that drastic though, and I'm sure these new members don't mean any harm! I think we've just got used to each other? Our own little click you might say!Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE ON THIS SITE, OLD AND NEW!Am I babbling? Been out for a drink to celebrate the New Year and a bit rat legged, but behaving though!See ya! Must get my well earned kip!

confused12 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thanks for your insight Paula,Paula, I don't think it is about new members at all. I actually like the idea of new people joining in the mix hearing about their experience, struggles and triumph's without new people in our community we may become stuck, new people bring new and diverse prospective which I find healthy. I don't see myself needing to respond to all posts so I don't feel over burdened by the 'rush' as you suggested. I normally respond to what I can but right now even responding here is more out being polite then me wanting too. I could babel on some more but don't have the energy to think. Sorry.I think Proverbs summed it up quiet well, I don't have anymore to give right now, IRL as well as here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
