I empathize with your anxiety, absolutely. It's tough. I started a blog and then made it anonymous. And when I start one that I can put my name to, one that can be consistent in theme, regularity, and so on, I guess I'll do it. But still, it will be hard, precisely because of anxieties like the one you have written about. So IMO, having a blog at all is admirable. And making your anxieties public, well, that's laudable. Very brave. And that photo is adorable :) Hi Mona

I believe I found your blog through The Fluent Self.

I empathize with your anxiety, absolutely. It’s tough. I started a blog and then made it anonymous. And when I start one that I can put my name to, one that can be consistent in theme, regularity, and so on, I guess I’ll do it. But still, it will be hard, precisely because of anxieties like the one you have written about.

So IMO, having a blog at all is admirable. And making your anxieties public, well, that’s laudable. Very brave.

And that photo is adorable :)

The end of the school year craziness. You're doing such a good job. Hang in there and reach out for support when you need it. Remember to breathe (I'm going to also) and enjoy these last few weeks with your kids. These little precious ones will remember you for the rest of their lives. I had one of my students from my first year of teaching 3rd grade find me on FaceBook. She's a nurse and she's married! And she totally remembered me with good-times and happiness. @Josiane: You're awesome for coming back and telling me how my comment impacted you...and I see that it's also related to the post that I just wrote about how everything has side effects. It's okay if no one reads. It's okay if some people read. It's okay if no one comments. Or if lots do. They're all side-effects, consequences, reactions, or impacts from taking action and posting a blog entry. And sometimes other people let us know if they were impacted and from there, other things get impacted. Ohhh...it's so cool. Thanks for being here. @Rachel: Oh yes!

I was hopping over here to say thanks for stopping by my blog, and I find something in your post that resonated with me... "who cares what this one voice has to say anyway?" The question pops up in my mind once in a while, but you see, things like inspiring you to do a few minutes of Shiva Nata before watching a movie make it all worthwhile! I'm sure your posts will inspire lots of people, and remember: for the few who will tell you, there'll be many more who will have been reading and appreciating silently. And that is one of the reasons why I so appreciate that you took the time to let me know you were inspired by my little post! Hi Mona!

I hope to get back to working on myself the first of June when school is over. Hi Mona,

I've been thinking of my doubt as an octopus in the last 20 minutes or so - noticing how clingy it seemed to be. Decided to snuggle up with it instead of trying to rip it off of me. Snuggling it seems to help. It's relaxing a bit and the tentacles and clutching are easing up too. Hey Per…Thanks for stopping by and saying hi and empathizing with me.
