Wow, I am so incredibly flattered at the mention here. I truly love Farrah's writing groups too, so inspiring and comforting to be in the company of other writers. This post really moved me. I too was sick for a month without realizing it, spent the first few weeks berating myself, blaming hormones and laziness until I became ill to the point where my body forced me to sleep for 20 hours straight. How stunning to realize that our knee jerk reaction to illness is that we've done something wrong! So mind blowing and silly, why can't we give ourselves a break and a little rest without feeling guilty for it? I'm gonna work on that. Absolutely love the poem at the end, thank you for sharing and looking forward to seeing you at the next monthly meetup!

It always a pleasure to see you. You deserve and need to rest. I hope you're feeling better. I often feel like a failure when I get sick, it's ridiculous. Oooh i wanted to see Stevie Nicks but I'm not that into festivals either, I don't like the crush. And I felt too tired to book the tickets when they were released. Huge hugs. A
