WHAT IS A GLIMMER?
My blogging friend Pat from Retirement Transition wrote a series of posts recently about understanding abandonment and its resultant trauma and triggers. There were a lot of interesting outcomes that she described that strongly resonated with me - especially these five behaviours below.- Overly sensitive to any criticism
- Seeking external validation
- Discomfort/stress in social situations - especially new social situations
- Perfectionism, trying to meet expectations, and being productive
- Excessive planning, over-thinking, and a desire to control the situation

It helped and it settled.But over the following years it happened again.....and again.....and again....

MY FABULOUS APRIL
I can't believe April has come and gone already! Easter flashed past and Autumn has settled in with its cooler days and evenings (so much better for my sleeping than those hot, muggy nights). Quite a bit has happened over the last few weeks, including our first family covid experiences - which we all knew had to happen because we couldn't stay locked away from the world forever. But there have also been some lovely times as well, so on that note....here's what's been Fabulous throughout the very pleasant month of April....
