Sunset

 by Rain Trueax

 2021 was a tough year for me and from what I can tell, 2022 is heading down the same road. We are still trying to maintain two properties and using a vacation trailer to travel between them. It might sound like fun, but it's not. It's trying to satisfy too many things. I have been thinking a lot about how to make my life better, even discussed anxiety with the doctor in September when I had my physical. He gave me a prescription to try (I call it fairy dust) but so far can't see that it's done much. So I am making some physical changes and one is to discontinue being in this blog.

There are multiple reasons to do that but mostly it's because I don't feel I have much if anything to offer here, certainly nothing positive. I am not writing romances right now (hope to eventually) but with our transit issues, it just hasn't worked for a year. It's not a writing block but a lack of feeling I have anything to offer that wouldn't repeat what I'd done.

To add to the writing, I've had issues with low blood sugar-- something I never expected to have but when my blood sugar dips, my energy is gone and in ways I never expected. To prevent that, I have to eat differently (that in addition to the nightshade problem). 

I turned 78 in '21 but that was okay with me. I don't have a fixation on hiding my age or wanting to be younger. I just want to do the best I can with where I am and would love to get rid of my high anxiety levels. Time will tell on that.

So I wish the readers and writers here all the best. It's good that some of you still have things to share. Maybe I will again one day. I do have a blog and it's suffering too with my issues. It's not like I want to write about all that is wrong. Photo below is from before we took down the artificial Christmas tree on Epiphany. I really enjoyed it and that next year it'll be back.
