My Mosaic

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow ❤️ . I love my pillows too, it's not weird. I also love blankets. I feel like simple objects can comfort us and that's okay. I hope tom goes smoothly for you and that you get some relief.

Re: My Mosaic

I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow @Bow

I normally take some things that comfort me so taking a few things might be a good idea.

Re: My Mosaic

All I can suggest is meditation or breathing @Bow I learnt square breathing today. It takes me a lot of concentration

Re: My Mosaic

Thinking of you today @Bow with the commencement of exposure therapy for your trauma. Its very brave of you to give this a go, but I think you are ready. I have undergone prolonged exposure therapy myself .. and its tough. Real tough! But you already know that, and you are well prepared. You will need all the support over coming weeks and months that you can get. You will probably want to back out at some point, declaring it to all be too hard. I urge you to push through that, and keep going. You have already lived through the worst, the rest is easier in comparison. And will become easier still, with this therapy. I repeat ... you are incredibly brave. But, by agreeing to therapy, you are also finally making an investment in you and your daughters future. Good luck. Be strong. But also, dont be afraid to show all your emotions throughout the course of your therapy. Its important. And your therapist will think none the less of you. In fact they will probably admire you all the more. ♥

Thinking of you today @Bow. You are stronger than you realise. Go in with an open mind.
