Here is the project I made for this Theme. I was so glad for having this theme. Right now I am still struggling with my burnout from time to time. In about 5 years I have had 2 burnouts. Both were on different jobs, but with the same employer, which I work for 9 years now.
Sometimes I just feel like I will never get back to the old Wendy. The one who was always so positive, and that nothing ever was going wrong. Everything was always good in my life (now I know how foolish that was, thinking of me be some kind of superwoman ;-) ).
But maybe it's good to have had these burnouts. Not that I was screaming out loud: "YES! Give me some burnouts please!" No, not at all!! But I see that this also works for good in my life, eventually. So I will be thankful for having these moments in my life. Now I feel like really becoming the Wendy that I am. Not the one I thought I would or should be. But coming more to the core of me. And no, I don't like it at all that I've had to go through these phases, difficulties and struggles. Feeling like I cannot do anything. Having inherited panic attacks and sometimes feel like I am no good to this world. That I am not able to work full time like "every one else" in this world. That, because of this, I am a lesser human or something like that. But you know.....Everytime these thoughts pop up in my mind, I just want to praise the Lord. And THANK Him for making me in His image. That I am good enough the way I am. And that He loves me, unconditionally. Now, how about that, for a reason to be totally thankful for?? And yes, I find it difficult to praise and thank the Lord when I have those moments of feeling bad. But I just want to remind myself that there are so many things to be thankful for.
Just take a look at the journaling for other reasons that I am THANKFUL for. This is just a short writing of thankful things. But there are so many other things.
What are you thankful for in your life? Or are you struggling with your life and feeling like you have nothing to be thankful for? Please feel free to share, so I can pray for you, if you want me to.
Thanks for being with us. Feel free to create a project and post it over on
Paper Tree House Studio. We would love to bless you!
