I sometimes wonder how I keep managing to find stuff to write about, almost 9 years after I started blogging, 15 years after I stopped treatment and 18 years after the loss of our daughter. I don't know -- and I do go through dry spells -- but then the muse will strike again and off I go. ;) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-40179807877461963082016-07-05T12:17:48.649+12:002016-07-05T12:17:48.649+12:00Thanks for adding me to your blog list, Mali!Thanks for adding me to your blog list, Mali!Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142828482343366002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-58165145854925206542016-07-04T16:55:06.573+12:002016-07-04T16:55:06.573+12:00How nice to see you again!

I wondered where you'd gone, and hoped it was for a good reason. <br /><br />I've added you to my blog list, and I'm off to read your latest posts.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-56940913227793962592016-07-04T04:29:05.707+12:002016-07-04T04:29:05.707+12:00I so totally agree that the "what should have...I so totally agree that the "what should have been" language isn't helpful. "What should have been" seems like a place that doesn't exist anywhere but in our own heads. When I visit "what should have been" I feel despair because it is a place without choices--definitely not my happy place...<br />I also with you on the posts that ignore the pain, heartache and sheer work it takes to get to a happy place. Even then, the happy place for me seems temporary as it requires work to stay there. New circumstances constantly come up to test my resolve.<br />And I also want to hear your thoughts about the "you can achieve anything if you want it enough" topic. <br />BTW Mali, I was formerly calling myself "The Beef Princess" and I am back to blogging at www.Simplynotconceivable.com. I have really missed you and the rest of our tribe and am not sure why I was away so long. Perhaps I should write a post and explore that...:)<br />Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142828482343366002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-89582346185221565542016-07-02T00:01:25.546+12:002016-07-02T00:01:25.546+12:00OOHHHHHH...I'm looking forward to the discussi...OOHHHHHH...I'm looking forward to the discussion! :-) WOOOHOOOO!!!!Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-1798101559615193962016-06-28T21:59:20.055+12:002016-06-28T21:59:20.055+12:00Oh, the you can achieve anything if you only want ...Oh, the you can achieve anything if you only want it enough/try hard enough!

It's been cathartic to share my journey but I am hoping my blog can grow with me into something that is more about my life now and less about what could have been as you said. It's nice to find like minded women who understand the complex emotions associated with infertility.

Specifically addressing those you push this message ad nauseum. Why does this exist? Why is there this continual need for it to exist? I have my own thoughts for why, but would love to hear your takeCristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.com
