I am looking forward to reading your ...Hello there! I am looking forward to reading your blog. Indeed, there are a lot of negativity in this word, and some people forgot that positivism is free. From the title itself, I know it will inspire a lot of people.<br /><br />My blog has been in hiatus for months now. I would like to share that I have been married for 4 years. I and my husband have been childless for 3 years and 11 months. I never felt emptiness because both of us have accepted that we were meant to be childless but miracles of all miracles, now I am 18 weeks pregnant. I regret not sharing my journey to my ovarian cyst and endometriosis .<br /><br />Because you have decided to make a wonderful blog to spread positivism, I am now motivated to share my story in my blog.<br /><br />Cheers to a happier and positiv-ier life to you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191078564058835981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587674218992969044.post-6829388744698309272014-03-23T04:35:47.434+10:302014-03-23T04:35:47.434+10:30I'm on my way over, Annie. :)I'm on my way over, Annie. :)Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587674218992969044.post-2328429650809919762014-03-02T11:17:21.712+10:302014-03-02T11:17:21.712+10:30Glad you are in a better frame of mind these days....Glad you are in a better frame of mind these days. :) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587674218992969044.post-28530519184903741152014-02-20T14:21:35.816+10:302014-02-20T14:21:35.816+10:30I mean to this blog, not post.

I can relate to what you've written. I think I wrote it once somewhere that it's tiring to actually having to prepare yourself mentally for something "dreadful", but on the actual day itself, more often than not, it's not as bad, but you just feel like you need to prepare yourself mentally because you know there are some/a lot of vulnerable parts inside of you. <br /><br />I have no due dates, but for example about 1.5 years ago I remember planning to meet a pregnant friend (she was 40 and pregnant) and I was psyching myself up days before we were supposed to meet because I didn't want to look like I couldn't be happy for her (didn't want to show her the "Oh, goodness, this is a reminder of my loss"). The actual day itself was a good day actually, probably because she was interested in my life as well and didn't merely talk about herself and her pregnancy.<br /><br />And yeah, grief is really sneaky. For me these days, the "big things" that I thought could hit me didn't, but then when I saw something altogether unrelated (even as simple as watching a youtube video clip), I could be bawling my eyes out as I felt the need to grieve all over again (though not as badly as before - I mean I didn't cry as long as I cried on my worst moments in the past). But anyway, I actually love these cathartic moments when I can do it in my own sweet time and not in public. I feel that these moments are really purifying, although somewhere in the past I did resent the fact that I had to grieve over and over again he he he...but nowadays I feel that when my soul feels it's necessary to do so, then bring it on! <br /><br />Hey, GOOD to know that you're keeping yourself busy and enjoying yourself at the same time and you can meet different people as well - plus getting extra money by helping your brother! :-) You've got a great hubby there and LOVE your gratefulness! :-) Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587674218992969044.post-32200888309813057302013-11-30T07:43:07.940+10:302013-11-30T07:43:07.940+10:30I'm also very happy for you finding the life t...I'm also very happy for you finding the life that is going to work for you. There have been times where I wished I did not have to work full time, but I am currently enjoying my work very much and have found I missed it the last 3 weeks I've been recovering from surgery. I do look forward to retirement when I can do whatever I want.<br /><br />You could say you are "creating a home".

I have a friend who, after a brush with cancer that left her unable to have children, decided life was too short to spend most of it at the office, and now just works part-time. She keeps house, enjoys golfing & bowling with friends and doing volunteer work. If you can swing it financially, why not?? I have worked full time for 28 years... but I am hoping to retire when I turn 55 or 56. There has to be some sort of compensation for missing out on motherhood, right? <br /><br />I was unemployed for the first six months I was married. People used to ask me what I did with my time, but I can honestly say I was never bored.

Which is a role that goes back through the ages.<br />I guess being a trailblazer in that I need to do that without the title "mother". It's almost like I'm not allowed to do that without being a mum. If I'm not mothering then by some strange social law, I should be a "career woman". <br />But it's not what I want in my life anymore. Being a mum was supposed to get me out of that life. Now I just have to get myself out of it.Annie Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13511943107737624183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587674218992969044.post-4329753661308320512013-11-17T12:17:58.124+10:302013-11-17T12:17:58.124+10:30LOL, Savannah!
