I've been in Blogging Rehab...

It's been about 6 weeks since I've written a post, here. It was the week before Christmas when I said I needed a break. So, I've been on a journey this last 6 weeks, and it was a necessary decision that was a long time coming.






As some of you guessed I'd been having health problems again, and they really had me down ...mentally and emotionally as well as physically. I don't want to talk negative when I'm going through something, so often it's best if I just stay quiet. Don't get me wrong, I don't suffer in silence, but I don't like to broadcast it either. I believe in joined forces in prayer, but there are times when I have to face and fight my battles with God as my only Source.

I've had a few of you email or leave comments checking up on me and some of you have gotten an earful; probably a lot more than you cared to hear. I have been angry and frustrated for awhile...not at anyone individually or even the blogging world in general. Just angry and frustrated with my circumstances and outlook in life, and I was the only one who could make those changes. So God asked me to lay blogging on the line. I've said it was like a little addiction. I needed to give blogging up, and I didn't (and still don't) know if I can pick it back up. Lot's of things have changed in my thinking about it. Expectations, frustrations, guilt...so many emotions I never want to go back to. Actually, I have many concerns about even publishing this post.

I've never thought of myself as a perfectionist, but I am a person that believes in doing things to the best of their ability. My thinking is that if I can't give 100% then it's not good enough. I'm having to re-examine that way of thinking. I don't think God is calling me to be 100% at this. But just be me and recognize that there are priorities and limitations. I know, I know...I've talked about this before. The big thing I realized is that blogging doesn't have to "own me". I don't have to keep it in my head every day 24/7. It doesn't need to be a mindset. It doesn't have to be a priority.  Blogging is not my "job". It needs to be a creative outlet and an enjoyable aspect of my life. It doesn't have to define who I am.

I'll just share a little of what I was dealing with healthwise.

I have to take a blood thinner since I had blood clots in my heart back in the Fall of 2013. It was a really scary time for me and I just scratched the surface of things here on the blog. It was a miracle once again that I wasn't dead. When a blood clot goes through your heart and then one to the brain, you usually don't live to share the experience. I have to take a kind of blood thinner that can't be monitored (like Warfarin), so there's no way to really know if you're getting too much or too little. It's specifically for people that have cardiac stents. Early last summer I started bruising horribly (like a rotten banana) and had the little capillaries under my skin start breaking and bleeding. I had 2 cardiologists, one said get off of it, the other said keep taking it...so I cut the pill in half. (I've since seen a Hematologist that says keep taking it, that it's what I have to do, just back off a little if I start seeing those earlier symptoms) Things got better but I started having severe fatigue in the Fall and then by the beginning of December my chest pain was at a much worse level. I have constant angina and take several meds to keep it manageable but none of them were doing the job. So by Christmas I was in bed, feeling like another blood clot was closing up my artery. I started back on the higher dose of blood thinner but it's taken weeks to get back to some sort of normal daily life. Christmas day was spent in bed, and my thoughts in a whirlwind. All I wanted to do was crawl under the covers and stay there. (In reality and metaphorically speaking).

So that's where I've been and what I've been doing. I've made a conscious effort to NOT overdo it in any aspect of my daily life. I've read more than a dozen books and left housework and all things decor related undone, and it's been ok. There were days when I didn't check emails or blogs or even turn on my computer. I made it through, and I can't go back to "before". I'm still in the "process", but I do see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I've started journaling again through my daily scripture, and that's been good, like slowly peeling away a hard outer layer of something dead to bring a peek of something new underneath. I feel like soon I'll get the "go ahead" in God's timing to share some of this with you...probably on my "Spiritual" blog (that's been dormant for a year) or on a separate page that I set up.  I'll let you know when that happens.

But till then I wanted to say Hello and let you know that I'm still here, and that I'm better (?), but maybe just a little different...



xoxo,

  2. I'm so sorry you've been feeling so rotten, and I hope you continue to get your meds corrected and back to feeling better again. Thank you for checking in on your blog, Debra. I see your blog feed's photo on my sidebar whenever I'm on my own blog, and I always think about you and hope you're okay. It's nice to hear your "voice" and know you're still with us. Take care!

  5. Debra, I'm so sorry you are going through this extended illness. You really are right that blogging isn't life completely and sometimes you have to step away. I hope you know that many of us will be thinking of you and praying for you. You've always been a sweet voice out there and I hope you won't go away completely.

  6. Debra, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this post. Today I went with my husband for a checkup at his cardiologist for a minor problem (so we thought) and the doctor put my husband on blood thinners. I really thought the doctor was over prescribing (and maybe he was), but reading your post made me realize that we really need to research this issue and maybe get a second opinion and perhaps not be so afraid of taking daily medicine. I truly sorry for your medical problems and wish you didn't have to deal with them, but by sharing the info about it you have probably helped more people than you can imagine. Again, thank you for being brave enough to put yourself out there with this info. Forever grateful, sharon

  7. Debra,
    Bless your heart and your sweet soul, dear friend!!!
    I have missed your voice in The Land of Blog tremendously!!!
    First and foremost, take care of You!!!
    Secondly, I agree that your blog should be a creative outlet
    and an enjoyable aspect of your life!!!
    Last year, I went through some serious health issues myself.
    There were days when I didn't have the energy to do anything,
    let alone blog, but I continued to do what I could.
    My prayers continue daily for you, dear one!!!
    I believe God has a plan for your life. . .through your blog.
    In the meantime, know how much you are loved!!!
    Fondly,
    Pat

  11. You are a dear precious blogging friend, and I wish you all good things- however and whenever you decide to do it. Taking care of both your physical and spiritual health is by FAR the most important thing, so you do that, hon.

    There are a million reasons to put blogging on the back burner. I do it all the time, haha.

    Love, prayers and hugs your way now and always. God bless!

  12. Debra, I was so glad to hear that you are okay, but certainly understand your thought processes about what to do about your blog. Your blog was always a blessing to read and you have been so faithful and worked so hard at it. Perhaps, the Lord was just slowing you down a little to spend more time with Him. I think we all these days get carried about with things that aren't really that important from the eternal point of view. Take care of yourself and nurture your own soul for a while. Do all the things you love and enjoy them without feeling like you have to report on everything. God will reveal himself to you, I just know He will as you seek his wisdom. My blog is pretty dormant at present also, dealing with a cancer diagnosis in our son, so priorities have become very clear. I will pray for your health and that you can get things stabilized and still enjoy your life to the full. Thank you for letting us know how you really are, we will all be here when you feel the time is right to return. You are a blessing!! Linda

  13. Debra, thank you for writing this update. I don't have health issues, but I could be the one writing your words about blogging. I, too, took a bit of a blog break. I hadn't posted since Christmas Eve until just a few days ago. I want more balance in my life, and that means less time on the computer. I can so relate to your comment about being in your mind 24/7. For me, blogging is a type of addiction. I've let go in the past month and it feels refreshing. I don't want to stop all together, but I'm not going to feel compelled to create a post unless I'm motivated to do so. My blog is a creative outlet for me. It doesn't define who I am. Thanks for sharing. I admire you and look forward to any post you want to share with us. I keep you close in thought for improved health.

  15. Thanks for sharing your feelings with us. I understand your feelings because I have had similar thoughts and I don't have a heart condition. I think the problem, at least for me, is that blogging has changed drastically when we began our little spaces. Back then it was as if we all lived in Mayberry and now it's as though we have collectively moved to NYC. It's competitive, and as bloggers we are competitive folks to some extent and drive ourselves to continually put our best foot forward as the pond grows bigger and bigger. There is the constant pressure of parties and projects. We pressure ourselves to keep up with all of it and I am thinking that a little voice inside Miss Debra is rebelling. I certainly am. So I decided after the first of the year to cut back my manic posts and return to a sense of calm. I refuse to feel pressured by party themes and schedules and started to write when I wanted and about what I wanted. I have other projects that I am working on and it seems you do too with your spiritual posting. Give yourself a sabbatical. You deserve it. I for one will always keep you on my blog roll and will check on you. If you wear yourself out too thin your health suffers, your spirit suffers and your blog will become a burden and not a joy. Take care of yourself dear girl. Give yourself the breathing room you need and it will help to improve your heart in ways that are not just physical. We all know how very talented you are and you earned a chance to nurture your creativity a bit. We will be waiting and always keeping you in our prayers.

    Big Texas Hugs,
    Susan and Bentley

  18. I've thought of you often over the past month, Debra. Blogging does take a lot of time and effort, and when you're not feeling well, it's hard to drum up the energy to be a part of it. I know what you mean about giving 100% of yourself, but in the end, you need to take care of yourself. I hope you start feeling better, and if you pop into the blogworld now and again, we'll still be here.

    Take care,

  19. Debra,
    So good to "hear" from you!! I don't have the health issues that you have but I do have health issues and I understand completely how they can affect some one not only physically but emotionally. Please spend your time and your energy ( even if you feel that you do not have any) on getting yourself well. Don't worry about blogging and the people in Blogland. You need to take care of you!! And only when you feel ready and only if you want to, then come back to blogging...
    Sending prayers your way!!
    Hugs,
    Deb

  21. Please take care of yourself, for that matters most. I realized blogging wasn't that important when my Father died in a car accident. I continued to blog after that, but it didn't hold the same importance to me. Now I don't blog at all. Although I enjoyed it, it was doing more harm than good to my spirit and I felt like God wanted me to lay it down. I fought that for awhile, but now it is freedom. I don't feel so pressured to "keep up" with all the other blogs and I definitely spend less money now that I'm not trying to keep up. Blogging is not what it was at the beginning, and after all these years, just about everything has been told and retold a dozen times. I have enjoyed living in the freedom of not comparing myself to fancier blogs, bloggers with more income, and continual parties. Breathe - and enjoy this time of rest. We've all heard the saying, "If you don't have your health, you don't have anything." But for me, it has taken getting older and more unhealthy to realize just how true this is, and I am learning the value of slowing down, rest, and just breathing. God bless you and uphold you in this season of your life and know that prayers are coming your way.

  27. Debra, I'm so sorry to hear about this continuing issue. I probably told you once before (not that you'd remember) that I had blood clots in both lungs 5 years ago. I remember that fear still. It immobilizes you. I did not know how serious it was until I came out of the hospital. Every odd feeling made me believe that the clots were back. I stayed on coumadin for a year until my D-dimer level was once again showing that it seemed I would be okay. It still scares me. To know that you are dealing with this on a regular basis makes me so sad for you. I pray that you will soon be free from this horrible monster. God bless you.

  28. Debra! Thank you for your heartfelt post. The Lord is doing a big work in you and having been through the wringer myself these past 5 years...I know how it feels -you definitely don't come out the other end the "same".....better, stronger, more confident in trusting God, and more at peace....He is renewing your mind...what a beautiful thing.

  33. Oh, Debra! I'm so sorry to hear all of this and you will certainly be in my prayers. The main thing is that you take care of yourself. I know this is nothing like you're going through but before Christmas I fell and broke my knee cap and I just can't do anything. It has drawn me closer to God and that's a good thing. Just know I've missed you but you take care and you're in my prayers.

  39. I wondered why I hadn't seen a bog from you for quite a while and I missed them. I'm not a blogger myself but enjoy reading the blogs of others - at least some of the others. I can't even imagine having a hobby (blogging) or a source of income (blogging) that encourages you to compete with others whose circumstances and incomes and so varied. The pressure must be immense and definitely not good for you. It's not good for someone who is perfectly healthy and for someone whose health is such as yours, it could be deadly. Your home is and will be beautiful whether or not you take pictures and show them on a blog or whether it's only see through you and your family's eyes. Make occasional blogging a hobby, no advertisers, no meetings, no link up parties, no travel for business reasons. You had a life before blogging and obviously, you will have a healthier life without it as a priority. Take care of yourself and allow your body and mind to heal and refresh. Wishing all the best to you......

  40. I was so glad to hear from you and so sorry to hear it's not been a good time. You are one of the strongest woman I know, not only in character but in your faith and strength in God. Blogging is a lot of pressure that we put on ourselves. Quite frankly I don't care what you write about because I would enjoy whatever you do or say. Vignettes, decor is a small part of who we are, or rather what we like, so know this, we, as your friends care for you, and don't want you to be anyone other than yourself. I miss you and will always be waiting for no matter what you have to say, or not.

  42. I'm sorry to hear what you've been going through, Debra. It's so hard to have to deal with health issues, especially when you can't do things you want to do. It's hard making changes...and you have made quite a few the last few years. You have been an inspiration to me, as I have had to give up a lot of what I have done in the past because of health problems, and I'm trying to find the path God wants me to walk now. I've come to realize that things are different than they were in the past and I don't have to be on anyone's schedule. Watching you downsize your home has been an example for me, too, as we will probably be moving in the next few years.
    I hope that you will begin to feel better soon, and please know we are happy to hear from you whenever you decide to stop by. I'll be keeping you in my prayers xoxo...

  47. Debra, you put into words almost exactly what's been going on behind the scenes with me. I developed a fast, irregular heartbeat, and I had to go on meds. I've also had to force myself to let go of the things I cannot change, which is harder than it seems!The move discombobulated me (and my husband) in such a way that I couldn't blog. I found myself unwilling to decorate or think about decorating. I love the bloggers I've met, and I consider them to be friends, but I couldn't muster the will to go online. I had to unplug. Of course, life was pretty crazy at the time. I went back and forth about just deleting the blog. I'm not sure that would have solved the issues. So I decided to go about it a different way, one that fits my little world. I hope your health problems are quickly solved. My mother is on Coumadin, and it has its negatives, to be sure (blood work; no greens), but it has saved her life. xx00

  57. I'm so glad to see your post today but so sorry you are having health issues... My brother-in-law was having similar problems all summer and fall, kept going to his doctor, not getting better... He finally went to a cardiologist ... and voila! Within a week he was no longer so run down and sick and miserable. It is such a relief to us that he has found a great doctor who was able to get him back on track....who knew there was a miracle in a new set of eyes???? Sending prayers for you and good thoughts to you... have always loved your blog because you create such beauty in your words and your home... Be well, Debra!

  58. Thoughts and prayers are with you! So sorry to hear of your health struggles -Kudos for taking a break- Blogging should be a labor of love and not added to pressure to a busy life- If and when you return to it you will always have your fans - and I'm sure they are truly thankful for the many many posts that have delighted readers over the years.
    Best of Luck

  59. I am just so sorry to hear that you've been dealing with such terrible and scary health conditions! On one hand, you're lucky in that you've been given a second chance on life and don't take it for granted, but on the other hand you're still having to live with the possibility of it happening again. Heart problems are so serious and scary! It's good that you are under a doctors care and hopefully they will continue to give you the proper treatment you need. I completely understand the need to step away from blogging. It can be very time consuming! If your heart isn't in it (no pun intended) then it's definitely not worth it. I think you should just continue to do what you want and only blog as you feel fit. No worries!

  60. Hi Debra, while visiting another blogger I noticed your comment, I had this serious draw to visit you, it's been far to long, and I get it, it's hard to visit everyone,,and we get stuck in a rut of visiting the same ones that visit us.
    I FEEL like I am listening to my mothers story here, baxk in her early 50's she ended up with several heart attacks that should have knocked her off her feet and dead to the floor, but she survived, her specialist have kep her alive with triple bypass stents / shunts as they call them, and blood thinners leaving her blackenedas you speak here. Angina os a word we here are so familiar hearing, and multiple trips to emergency is an on going ordeal for us, each one thinking it's the last.
    She is 76 and is hanging in there, and her doctors tell her to do what she loves, mild physical movement, keep her mind active and stress levels at bay.
    Every word I have read here sounds exactly like my Mom, my mom could not walk from the bed to the bathroom without being out of breath. She has with good treatment gotten better, and each day is one she surrounds herself with cans and cants, and doing and not doing what she wants.

    I think blogging in many cases is a bit of a life support, a distraction of thinking about life, and inspiring others...as well as living soulfully daily with the beauty God affords us. It's a bit of house WISDOM! and letting the space we live in help us grow and reap the word of God in how each room and pace, and pieces are related to scripture if we see what we are shown.

    I have followed you from the beginning , listened and read you here and your spirtual site, read and followed your hospital stays and prayed along with your fellow friends, bloggers, and family who prayed for your full recovery.
    I want ro assure you that you are not forgotten, God is not allowing you to give up, and that sweet voice is telling you what you need to do here and there.
    Blogging in many ways has been my life saver, a place I can share, inspire, encourage, lend a helping hand, and embrace hardships ones are going through as well as my very own.
    It's a bit of a distraction as to daily health issues myself, as for yours my dear, you are a messenger of scripture even on your design blog, with all you inspire, a teastimoney in trusting in him.

    Make no mistake I was meant to visit you, because once again you have encouraged me!
    I am praying for you, I will ask and ask again and again for peace of heart, that a beautiful calm come over you, and that yours days a filled with peaceful daily thought. Where those bruises like badges of honor that God is with you, and your being taken care of.

    See you soon.

    Xx
    Blessings
