talking with jeff tonight.
somehow we have the same conversation over and over and over.
i’m hormonal. and he patiently talks me down from this crazy place where i feel like a loser in all aspects of life. everything seems bleak and no amount of logic can turn that around. maybe you have been there.
and usually during these times when i feel like i’m dropping every possible ball, i want to pull the plug on this blog thing/online world and just walk away. i felt that way again tonight but then i came to a good realization. i think this blog represents only a small portion of my reality. life is full of ups and downs. and i think on average i usually post about the ups. our lives are not perfect as a blog may make them seem. hence, the gaps in posting=taking a break to work out the rough patches in life.
i hesitate being so candid and personal about myself sometimes especially out here in the open for anyone to see. but at times it’s therapeutic. and truthfully i have come so far by being able to express my feelings behind a computer screen. as weird as that seems. i enjoy this. i enjoy connecting. and creating my own little haven here.
so i guess i’m just thinking out loud tonight. maybe i’ll turn this thing off. i don’t know. i just wanted to say that i’m real. not perfect. just me. and that life is for learning, changing, and not being too hard on ourselves. repeat that one more time with me. don’t be too hard on yourself.

Thank you for that post! I don’t think you’ll ever know how much I needed to hear that today. I agree with amy, YOU ROCK!
Melissa Miles here. I am always checking in as you are simply inspiring. And today’s post really hit home. It was as if I was reading my own thoughts (only you know how to put them into words that others can comprehend). 😉 Thank you for being so brave as to be candid on your blog. It’s post like these that help pull us together in the blog world & realize that we are all, in our own right, working on “learning, changing, and not being too hard on ourselves” & that it’s okay. And aren’t we grateful for our good husbands that are there for us through the many conversations. Anyhow, thanks for sharing! Again, you never cease to inspire me!
Wishing you a wonderful day!
I echo everyones comments. Cherie, you are amazing! You have a way of sharing and expressing yourself that others only dream of doing. I always have these wonderful thoughts in my head, but by the time they hit the paper they sound so mixed up and not at all the way I intended. You have always had a way of lifting and inspiring people-it is your gift!
I love ya
Thanks Cherie-
I really needed that today! 🙂
What you say is how so many women feel. It’s nice to know that I am not alone on those days. You are such a talented lady. I look forward to reading your blog.
To all you women out there reading & posting: thank you. To Cher for being the amazing woman you are: i love you. So amazing how similar we all are (and no, I’m not saying I’m a woman). Just that everyone has their mental issues – EVERYONE – men, and women. The key is learning how to overcome them through the Savior. I love it!
I tagged you!
gotta love jeff…
perhaps “mental issues” isn’t the best terminology.
i’m not ready to commit myself to the psych ward just yet!! 😉
love you, babe!
Cherie- I appreciate your candor and authenticity. My life has had a similar theme as of late- thanks for your perspective. Enjoy a little down time, or Cherie time, or family time … 🙂
