I’ve found a few new blogs this month, so there’s a wee bit more variety of posts.  Rather than ramble on…on with the posts!!

*~*

First off there’s my friend Karl – who I met years ago basically I think it was a FB recommendation of ‘friend of friends’ as we were both in the OG blogging circuit.  He closed his blog years ago…but now he’s back and this post on Social Anxiety is all of the things.  In some ways his is different than mine, but it’s a pretty good description of the affliction all around. I related to the post in much ways.

Brittany finally got her hysterectomy.  She’s still in the depths of recovery, so her posts are few and far between, but this post about Love & Hysterectomies hit me in all the feels. I remember my hubby doting on me after mine.  It’s interesting when they realize you’re not unbreakable.

Lindsay over at Surburban Turmoil wrote a post about how to handle your summer…and I’m all about it. This Summer Give Your Kids the Gift of Boredom.  YES.

The Bloggess always has enough great ones it’s hard to choose…but two really stood out to me.  First off, in the realm of typical Bloggess style…she tells a FABULOUS ghost story.

However, my absolute loved post of the month is this one called Reaching Out.  A beautiful invitation to give and receive love and support among her many, many readers.  I finally started sending out my cards today, and I’ve received about 10 so far.  It’s snippets of joy that are so welcome in the chaos and bustle of every day life.

I just ‘met’ Kyra through our mutual friend Karl, and she also just re-started a blog like so many of us.  This post on trolls and their possible motives, Silenced, is a great reminder to always look deeper, have compassion, and think before you react.

That’s it for now. I’m keeping my eye out for more.

If you think I missed YOURS, let me know in a comment here!  I’d love to find some new feeds for my reader!
