Hibernation Mode

First and foremost, I want to apologize for dissapearing.
I've had so much going on with my Aunt passing away, nursing Dixie back to health and getting my ducks in a row.
Though I haven't been doing well, I have always made it a point to post and be there for you guys, often on a daily basis.
You guys have become my rock and I tryly hope I'm able to make things a little bit better for those of you I talk to.
I don't know if it's too late to comment of past posts I've made. Part of me feels it's simply not my place to just jump back in.
My husband got a promotion at work, so aside from my business, I may have a lot of time on my hands which makes me incredibly nervous.
Anyhow, I'm not too sure what else to say. I'm just scared I was gone for too long. You guys seem to be getting the support you need. I guess I just don't know where I stand. It would be nice to start chatting with you guys again, but I'll leave that up to you.

Re: Hibernation Mode

I am happy to have you back. There is no need to feel weird about disappearing and coming back. It is natural.

I am sorry that you have had to go through loss and nursing and hibernating and not doing well. I often go through the hibernation thing as well. I also have been trying my best to come every day as well but not always succeeding.

I think we as a group are so similar that all of us disappear and reappear and it is all OK. So don't worry about a thing! I promise.

Re: Hibernation Mode

Thanks Chanda.
I just wasn't sure. You know, about jumping into the forums.

Re: Hibernation Mode

Chanda is right. We all have a lot in common and that means that we understand when someone disappears for awhile. I've been pretty much gone. I'm moving which is a major stresser and now at the new place nothing seems to work. No phone, no internet, no cell phone, and tonight the hot water heater started to burn so I can't even take a hot shower. We were lucky in finding it before it did any damage. If we had been in bed things might have been different. So if I can get a few minutes I have to go to the barn for internet. I have a glass shop there and it even has hot water. Chanda, I know you appreciate hot water. big_smile

I get along with a little help from my friends.

Re: Hibernation Mode

You're right, people do dissapear and sometimes end up coming back. I guess I just feel like people are often in such deep concerstations, it's not my place to jump in, you know what I mean?
I certainly commend you. If my hot water tank went, I think I'd go squirly! I need water. Thank goodness you have it in the glass shop. Hopefully it all gets fixed soon.

Re: Hibernation Mode

One thing I find hard about coming back after being gone for a while is the fact that everyone is engaged in their converstations and I feel awkward jumping in.
With my experience, I'm the type of person that will help others whenever I am able. But as I've mentioned it before, I have trouble seeking it, especially when it comes to jumping in to a converstation I have nothing to do with. I'm not too sure how to deal with that. Maybe at some point I'll find my way

Re: Hibernation Mode

So happy you're back hun!! And you don't just jump in the conversation, you always share meaningful things, so i bet you're more than welcome in any post. I know you have a hard time to do that and seek help, but I'm sure you're going to find a way to do that, you know how to work hard to get better.

I'm just happy you're back!

Re: Hibernation Mode

Thanks hun. It's good to be back.
I didn't realize how much I would miss this site until I couldn't come on.
I'm sorry for disappearing. I just had so much going on with my Aunt passing away, I didn't have time to turn on my computer.
I definately missed you and our chats. Hopefully later today we can catch up.
Of course I'd like to think my contributions to the forums are helpful. But like I mentioned, if everyone is deep in conversation and supporting one another, I almost feel like it's rude or not my place to just jump in. I guess I just don't know what others would think.
Anyhow... talk to you in a bit. Hugs
