“She made broken look beautiful
and strong look invincible.
She walked with the Universe
on her shoulders and made it
look like a pair of wings.”

Recently I have felt that I have a lot on my shoulders; I feel that they are supporting not only my own weight but also the weight of others. I don’t feel overwhelmed and exhausted like I can do at times, but I do feel that I am shouldering a lot of additional pressure. Being back at work has had certainly had an impact. My current caseload is difficult and the responsibility to try and improve things that really I cannot fix, combines with stories which tug at my heart strings on a daily basis. I want to be strong. I want to be all things to all people, but I am aware that I have to take care.
It angers me that the world can be so damaging and so difficult for some. It provokes a passion within me to fight for those who can’t do that for themselves, and try to limit some of the harm that is caused. I become absorbed in the snapshots of time that I get with each person and give my all, knowing that I am such a small part of a very large picture. I suppose somewhere I hope that having someone who listens and someone who tries will mean something, So I listen and I try and I carry the weight back to a place and a time where I can let it go. And believe me when I say that I know how lucky I am to have that place.
Beautiful and I hope you’re ok ?
Thanks sweet – I am ok, just need to slow down a bit 🙂
I feel a bit like I have a lot of weight at the moment. I seem to be the one everyone needs right now and it is quite exhausting at times so I hear you and send hugs

Thanks Molly and I am sending hugs back of course. I hope things settle for you soon ?
I hope you can drop the weight from your shoulders soon, and that you can get back to calmer waters. Hugs to you.

Thank you. I hope so too and it usually goes in waves so I think it will calm. Some of it just needs time to adjust to changes too I think ?
Selfless missy putting herself before others again, I hope they appreciate everything you do. HL can give you a hand to relax, to ease that weight.
Thanks PS. He did that last night and I do feel better for it. ?
I so understand your words here! x
Thank you May – I knew you would get it 🙂
I hear you. I really hear you. I hope your burden lightens <3
Thank you so much – I really appreciate that 🙂
You have lovely shoulders . . . and gorgeous hair . . . but I am sure it is your inner-strength that will triumph in time !!!
Xxx – K
Aww that is very kind. I will stay strong and it is easier as I do have a lot of support from HL myself 🙂
Lovely, simple image. your hgaoir is beautiful
Thank you very much 🙂
Take good care of yourself and try not to let those lovely shoulders get to weighed down. Hugs and positive wishes to you ??
Thank you very much ?
This is a very sensual image. I think while we can’t sort everyone’s problems, we are able to sometimes carry some of their pain so they are not being crushed by it. Very powerful words, Missy, and you seem to be a very warm and caring person.
Thank you DS. I feel quite lucky to be in a position where I can try to help but sometimes I can feel it and need to stop to breathe ?
You’re a great person to want to do so much for others. While we can all help some, no one can help all. It can be so overwhelming to try!
Hope you don’t try to carry touch…at least not for too long. ?
Thank you QH ?
Sometimes just being there … with an ear to listen and a sturdy shoulder to lean on, is enough … take care of yourself as well, Missy … nj … xx
Thank NJ. And I think you are right. Sometimes that can be enough ?
Playing catch up, and understand all those pressures all to well…you’re very good at shouldering them, and HL is good at easing them. Just don’t take on too much, if you can. Beautiful image x
Thank you kis ?
Beautiful post Missy x x x
Thank you Tabitha 🙂
I do hope you find a space (or person) to share a bit of that weight with. Peace to you
Thank you kindly Cara. I feel a bit freer now actually ?
