It is Dix...Dear blogging buddy Donna… yes, it is I. It is Dixie, rising from the ashes like the proverbial Phoenix. Since 2017, life has handed me one crisis, illness, disaster and tragedy after another. There have truly been days when I wondered how I could go on, and what else could be thrown at me. Breast cancer, 2nd knee replacement, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) which left me permanently disabled from nerve damage and forced early retirement, the pandemic (yeah we all got that one!), my youngest daughter murdered by her boyfriend in a act of domestic violence (that one nearly killed me), and most recently, my younger sister diagnosed with Alzheimer’s… so there you go, blogs by the wayside. I think about blogging again, but my hearts just not in it… My last few posts have landed in the mailbox of no one. For the last few years of my blogging, yours were the only comments ever left. Seems if you’re not writing about mommying, cooking, decorating or setting a pretty table, no one is interested. Not to mention my lack of fabulous photos… I can’t even figure out HOW to post on a blog anymore. I am on Instagram under dixiedylla… and I do occasionally post pretty pictures there… and a little about my life with my Ricky. My instagram is private, but just send me a follow request… and maybe I’ll see you there… <br />and to answer… how do you let go… my answer is… sometimes you don’t get a choice, you just have to. God Bless. Prayers for your journey… <br />And btw… I know where “new normal” is now. I’ve come out on the other side where the sun shines most of the time…Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388115336000505101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-67798130083657699702023-01-21T14:48:35.243-06:002023-01-21T14:48:35.243-06:00Donna sweet friend !

I checked your blog around Christmas but didn't see anything new, and figured you had just thrown in the towel.<br />So sorry to read that your husband has been poorly, hopefully now he is back home, and will stay there, I'm sure he will be waited on hand and foot.<br />Times they are a'changing new great-grandchildren to keep us busy, health issues, yet still plodding along. I still have the painting you so kindly gifted me of your horse, I treasure it.<br />Take good care of yourself and husband, I pray you will both make it through this health problem and life will be easier for you.<br />Much love,<br />Jo xxA Brit in Tennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080644141670903160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-92088810311224886162020-07-24T17:10:33.584-05:002020-07-24T17:10:33.584-05:00Love you guys so much!

The reason you can leave comments there is because she does not use the Embedded setting. Most of us do. For your own blog, go to settings and comments and change embedded to one of the other settings, eg pop up, or full page. I don't remember the other setting but that would be ok too. Just don't use embedded. Hope that helps. Then at least you can respond to your own comments here if you want to.
