Blog To The Future.

The past three months have left me in a state of flux.  "What the flux is going on?"  I thought to myself more times than I care to mention.
I'm so far out of the blogging loop that the loops have loops and I'm going loopy just thinking about all the loops I've missed.
The past three months have been a time of much upheaval.  Physically and emotionally.  Major changes in my personal life, my son's personal life and yes, the life of Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar!

My son was originally supposed to move into his own home on August 18.  Then it became September 19, then September 26 and finally, yes finally, on Wednesday, October 15, my son moved into his home.  That would be the day he came over to my new home to take Penny back to his new home.

Three months of uncertainty, of all consuming worry about my son's predicament, came to an end.  No more of him living in limbo at my ex wife's home. Wednesday night I sat alone in the quietness of solitude.  Solitude that also brought a revelation.  The knowing that despite the new void, the depressive, debilitating environment I had experienced, was now starting to vanish.  The dull fog dissipated.  I knew that my son, indeed, that I had coped very well.  I was proud of him.  I was proud of myself.  My little Tristan, now a young adult, embracing the independence he'd craved with with every ounce of his adventurous dreams.

Now, both our new lives begin.  A sense of loss and yet a sense of a gain for us both.  A harmonious balance awaits.  This I know.  A fresh start.  A new magic.

Sensitivity, being finely tuned, did bring on one of the worst bouts of depression I've ever known.  Yet the depression was all about caring, of concern, of love.






















It's time to go Blog To The Future.  I'm glad to be back.  Thank you for all the support, the caring I've received from so many sources in the background.  You have touched my heart.

    1. Hey Morgan,

      Why thank you kindly. It's good to be missed! :)

      The trying circumstances, the juggling of emotions, has started to calm down. I was so absorbed in my son's well being that everything else went to the wayside. I shall do my utmost to be proactive interest from now on. You are a marvel, Morgan.

      The bout of depression was all part of my sensitivity worrying about my son. I maintained the positive visualisation of that better time ahead.

  9. Glad Tristan and Penny are settled, and you're back "in the loop!" Things just haven't been the same without you. Many fests have come and gone without your mild-mannered blogfest-bashing antics. I'm proud of you for coming out of these troublesome times, stronger than ever! Best of luck to Tristan in his new place, and I hope you're enjoying your new digs, Gary!

    1. Hi Hilary,

      Most of the uncertainty is over. Of course, my son is having some teething problems as he discovers the wonders of bureaucracy. Penny is adjusting to my son's place. The adjustments have been quite the upheaval in so many ways. Just when I thought I could get back to blogging, a few more aggravations arose. Still, never mind, we are getting there.

      Thank you, Hilary. Hope you had a lovely weekend.

  46. So glad you are back, Gary, but a bit sad too as I know it means Penny will finally be moving in with Tristan. Isn't there some way you and your son can "share joint custody" or something? Does he live too far away for you to drop in occasionally to feed or walk Penny when Tristan has to be away?

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed that events will turn out swimmingly for all three of you.

    1. Hi rhymeswithplague,

      It's good to be almost back, my kind friend. It seems we do indeed have "joint custody" of Penny more than I had anticipated. My son is on night shift for one week and his neighbours complained that Penny cried though the entire night. Thus, I just got back from taking her for a walk at two in the morning. My son only lives about a mile away. I take the dog for regular walks,

      Your thoughtful words are appreciated. Thank you.

  52. Change is inevitable and so often wrenching. It still surprises me when I look back on what I call mini-dark ages of my life. And guess what? I'm okay. In fact, maybe I'm in a better place, just a different one.

    Take that Challenge!
    Out of here, Depression!
    Sayounara Doubt and Despair!

    I got me some living to do. And it seems so do you. Now let's see you up and at it. :-)

    1. Hey Lee,

      The changes that change us. Yes, you worked through those dark patches and the resonance of your glowing charm is here for all to see. I'm nearly at a better place subject to some minor aggravations that continue to scupper the plans. Oh well, we will be well.

      Please watch out for your starstruckest fan to be making you a much anticipated visit to your must-read blog extremely soon.

      Thanks, Lee.

      Gary :)

  53. I'm in a similar mind-bending situation with a very close relative. We moved for her and she was never independent but now all of a sudden after I put everything aside and turned my life upside down, she insists on being independent and doesn't want or appreciate my help. Things will get better because God always helps me when I ask for his assistance. I may not understand things and yes, everything hurts but He will heal all pain. Blessings to you and congratulations to Tristan.

    1. Hi Eve,

      Ah yes, the mind-bending situations are all too familiar. Things get better because I focus on what I see will be after the confusion lifts. This is a tough time right now. All is not as smooth as I wished it to be for my son and for the lovely Penny.

      Thank you for such blessings and the congratulations to my son.

      Hugs,

      Gary :)

  54. I missed you and had you in my prayers- even when I was being all scattered and out of the blog loop myself. Glad to hear things are going well. (And it makes me sad to think of you and Penny apart.)

    1. Hi Elizabeth,

      It takes some going to get back into the blog loop. We both seem to be resurfacing around the same time. Things are slowly getting better. I'm seeing Penny quite a lot. And now, as I will post about, I'm seeing Penny so much more than planned.

      Hugs and lovely to see you, dear friend.

      Gary :)

I do try to comment back to each commenter individually. However, I might have to shorten my replies or give a group thank you. That way, I can spend more time commenting on your blogs. Thank you and peace, my friend.
