The last few months have been very stressful, and I can't see when it will end. I know I've not really been paying the attention to this blog that you, my very lovely readers deserve. Thank you all so much for your support, I still have lots of comments to publish on my last post, I will over the next few days.
I'm trying to find peace where I can, recharge my batteries. I treated myself to this lovely book the other day...Hygge, the ultimate way to find comfort, strength, love and hope during those dark days.
I'm going to take a break from blogging, I'm not sure how long for. I do hope I will be back when things are more settled and less difficult. Sending you all much love, and gratitude for being so good to me.

Dear Amanda, take some time out to look after 'you', we will still be here if and when you decide to return.
ReplyDeleteI must buy that book for myself.
Big hugs, Dianne.
xoxoxo ♡
Enjoy your break.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a peaceful break from blogging, and from the stressful things. I'm sending you my very best wishes, along with a big hug. And hoping that you find your hygge. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda, you will find a strength soon that you didn't know existed. Take care, breathe and believe that things will change x
ReplyDeletedo take care Amanda and hope the book will be a help to you, will keep you in my prayers along with the family
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that I haven't commented on your recent posts, we have had difficulties here of our own. I feel so badly for you and hope that you can come to some sort of resolution which shows a way forward, it sounds very difficult and very tough though. Thinking of you, sending hugs and good thoughts and hoping for the best for you all. See you when you return. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda, I've just caught up in your last few posts and feel your pain so keenly. My son is very high-anxiety, and local CAMHS services are woefully under resourced.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can find some calm in your day, a quiet moment in which to take a deep breath and still your thoughts.
Thinking of you,
Jillxo
I've heard a lot of people talking about hygge, and i am interested in knowing what it is, so i might get a book myself.

I am very sad to read about this moment that you are living. I can only send a big Hug from here and continue to think and pray for you.

Stay strong and know that you are cared for by many.
ReplyDeleteTake care lovely lady x
ReplyDeleteWill miss your blog while you take a break from it. Hope all settles down quickly for you, and that life becomes smoother x
ReplyDeleteHi I follow lots of blogs, one of them yours, but don't often comment. I'm sad to hear you've been under some stress recently and I sure hope you'll be feeling back to your self very soon. I used to write a blog myself but haven't been posting for a few years. But one of the pleasures was getting some comments and realising that my blog was being read!! Well that photo of the blanket on your chair is just beautiful. Well done! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely spot for re-charging, renewal; be well.
ReplyDeleteDear Amanda, just caught up with your blog - I've been "off blogging" for a few months now and am feeling really guilty about it but stuff happens.
ReplyDeleteCan I just add my heartfelt wishes for all things to be well with you. We are having our own family concerns at the moment, and anxiety -REAL anxiety, not just being a bit worried now and again - is playing a huge part in it. Added to which there are huge distances between us and the person we are trying to support.
I hope you are managing to find strategies and support - and I fully concur re the state of Child Mental Health Services in this country. Pathetic.
With warm best wishes, Lynne xxxx
I do hope life evens out for you, it is not easy to blog when one needs to hold back personal information and one' s mind is full of troubles.
ReplyDeleteWhen time is right hope to see you back in Blogland, it amuses me your background matches the wall paper from M & S that we bought way back in early 1980 to match the bedding I bought when I left home to house share.
I still have the single duvet and pillowslips in this fabric, not sure about the plain pink bottom sheet.
Dear Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI had a 5 month blogging break, during which time I didn't read any other blogs either. So I missed all this. I know you and your family have had this awful anxiety condition to deal with for years but it never gets easier does, it? Hoping your lovely daughter will learn her own strategies for dealing with the tremendous fears which are so debilitating. And I hope you find some peace for yourself. Worrying about our loved ones is exhausting and joy-destroying. I know. I hope you find that strength and peace and find time and energy to return to you blog - we miss you. I miss you. Take care Lynne xxxx
I hope all is well with you. I know you said you were going to take a break from blogging, but wanted you to know you are missed. Hope you have found your hygge and wishing you a Merry Christmas. Ranee (MN) USA
ReplyDeleteI hope that you are doing well and that you and your family will have a Merry Christmas and an Amazing New Year!!
ReplyDeleteHello everyone. Sadly I can no longer post nothing on this blog as my iPad no longer works with the Blogsy app I used. So Vintage Sheet Addict is no more...and I can't even post to let you know! Thank you for your support xxx
ReplyDeleteHI Amanda, wherever life is taking you now and however you are, I just want to thank you for all your posts in the past, and to wish you health, peace and happiness during 2017 and beyond. I'm sorry to read that VSA is no more, I will miss it and you. Kind regards, Deborah
