Got it!

Got my period yesterday...that could explain the desperately depressing blog I published yesterday (I always get really down when my period comes). It was 11 days late. That is not normal. And my cramps...oh my goodness, they are sooooo painful. I ended up calling in sick (yet again) due to them being so debilitating. Anyhow, I have to go finish my shopping.
Yes, I am still low, but at least I know part of the reason why.
Love you all.

Hi Shel,
I can totally understand the roller coaster of emotions of wondering whether you were pregnant or not. I went through that too. One minute you want it and are excited, the next you're terrified. I'm still going through that!

And now you know. I can understand it being both a let down and a relief at the same time. That's completely normal.

And Shel, please don't measure who you are by what you do or don't do. That does not define who you are. Who you are is a loving, caring, thoughtful, fun person. Keep telling yourself that every day when you wake up and every day when you go to bed. We're most likely to act out of what we think. I remember having debilitating anxiety (which I know isn't the same as what you're going through but does help to relate somewhat) in my early 20s and the only way I got out of it was telling myself the positive things every morning and night. You'll start to believe them and act on them - and I know they're true!

I love you Shel. Enjoy Christmas (whenever you celebrate it - Jesus wasn't born on the 25th anyway so He won't mind!) with your family and remember that He and they are what's important. The rest (gifts, cards, etc) doesn't matter one bit. The first Christmas didn't have cards and only kings brought gifts. The rest brought their love and adoration. That's all we really need. That's all that He wants.

Love you Shel
Shan
