Ellen, you have many strengths and a resiliant spirit. From your knitting, I know that you will tackle anything and will see the most complicated and tedious things through to the finish. Wonderful qualities! They will serve you and Harvey well. God bless you and may His angels surround you and encourage you and let you sleep at night in peace. I will pray for you and your son.

Things come up on my life obviously, that while I'm able to discuss bits and bobs of my life, I try to not go into too much detail b/c it usually does involve other people. I don't want family members or friends that know about the blog to become upset if I mention them, even thinly veiled, for them to figure out something. That's why I go to my support systme and not to the blog. I believe some things need to remain private from all of Internet life. Take care of yourself and blog when you're able. Take care.

Remember that there are two good things about awful situations: 1. we usually learn something from them. 2. they're always temporary. All my best.

I've struggled with this since starting my blog in February. How much do I say about my boss, my job, why we're closing the office, and how very hard all of it was. In the end, I talked about events in general terms, never mentioning names or specific details. People knew I was having a hard time and couldn't spill all the guts I really wanted to. But they did graciously stick with me until I eventually worked through it. We'll wait. And you'll get through it. Just check in once in a while so we know you're still there, ok?

It's always a hard call - how much to say, not much not. But you've done beautifully up to now, and I expect that you will continue to do so. I hope your new house is a comfort to you!

I am struggling to know how much of my personal life to put in the blog. Bad enough having major health stuff but now with Mr Mogs cancer as well, do you share or do you stick to the knitting? After all the outside knitting stuff is part of who we are and for me the knitting helps keep me sane through it all Hugs from a fan in england amber My thoughts are with you through this trying time.

I relate entirely. For the past year and more, I have also had a situation that could not be shared online. It took me out of blogging for many, many months as I just tried to cope with life. When I did start blogging agian, I started over with a new blog and it has been the therapy I needed because I've been able to track my healing and people don't know what's behind the things I do share...but I can go back and see where I've come from. I first started to try to keep it all to knitting but how exciting is it to see another inch of my shawl? When I started bringing my own life into it, I started making friends in the blog world and it's been a great journey. I do pray life's problems resolve and you are better for it in the end. I'm beginning to see some of that now in my life although my situation continues. There is eventually light at the end of the tunnel! I am a lurker here. I relate entirely.

I've started a knitting blog recently which I haven't even told anyone about because I'm so uncomfortable with the idea of 'exposing' myself. I really admire people like Annie Modesitt, who takes a deep breath and continues to discuss everything, and Cheesehead http://cheeseheadwithsticks.blogspot.com/ who sometimes writes about personal matters, and so well too, but I understand entirely and can relate to anyone who wants to drop out of sight - or feels that they have to, even if they don't want to. It's sometimes difficult too, to know how to respond to the blogs of people who are having a difficult time and whether comments are too public for 'return sharing'. But we'll be very happy to see you when you want to drop in and let us see a bit of your knitting. I hope things get better before too long. It’s a difficult area.
