Those were gifted to me in October 2008. The package reached me during the IVF cycle….it was sent to G with DH, unopened, while I stayed back in City I.
I opened the box, along with my birthday gifts somewhere in March 2009.
That’s right; had I not been blogging or documenting anything….December to March 2009 would have been one big black hole. The first time I tried them on was March 22, 2009 and the pictures are from then. All my birthday gifts too had stayed in their as-received position till then.
One day, I just remembered that stash, and went through it! It was a slow Get With It!
And I wonder, What might dis be?
In your journey towards babydom, have you ever felt that if you had not been jotting down your thoughts online/offline you might have been a blank slate totally after a significant episode and not even known about it? Or would never have realized that you were 'waking up'?
And ping here to return!

What a nice bracelet! Un/rediscovered treasures are always fun! Thanks for sharing!
I guessed it right :) It is very beautiful.
As for your question... I honestly don't know, it's an interesting thought. I like to think that whether I wrote it down or not wouldn't matter, and I would still be aware.
Beautiful bracelet!
I don't think writing it down would make a difference for me...although I do love the support. I think that I would still remember the tough times and wish that I could be unaware of the heartache.
Very pretty bracelet.
Good point...which is why I need to start blogging about it more...plus it is a great "outlet"!
i guessed beads... is it a beeded bracelet? i can't really tell!
I could tell is was beads. Its a gorgeous bracelet.
I definitely feel that way about any extremely emotional time. Sometimes, you just can't take it in without the record. The bracelet is gorgeous.
Pretty bracelet - I always have a thing for all things sparkly! :0)
As for your question? Hmmmmmmm - I remember the what, and the feelings, thoughts, etc in general, so not a completely blank slate. The fine points, the small details - those are more obscure. Did that make sense?
Pretty bracelet!
Unless I blog, I seem to forget dates and what exactly I was going through when.
I only wish I had been blogging and had known other bloggers going thru IF!
The bracelet is lovely - very nice for summer.
Thanks everyone...as has been understood by you...I meant that we remember the big things, but forget the inside trails...
And we seem to keep on walking, when we suddenly realize that we are coming out of some invisible gauze...our thinking tweeps were not off before, but there is sudden clarity...
what a beautiful bracelet!
and yes, I think that if I didn't write, I would not only forget, but blackout completely some/most/all of my IF journey. Optimistically, I hope to someday read through it all and feel proud of myself for making it.
It's so beautiful! I'm glad you two finally got together.
I guessed correctly on the second photo! It would have been harder if I had just seen the photos without knowing who the blogger is.
I don't seem to forget the emotions or events, but without records many of the details such as specifics of treatments and dates would totally disappear.
Time has a way of morphing...that is for sure!!
Amazing bracelet and very provoking question.
I definitely think the last two months would have been my "black whole" were it not for blogging. Blogging is my therapy.
Beautiful! I've gone through phases of blogging and not blogging our journey through the land of IF. Now that I've actually begun to participate as a full-fledged community member though (following blogs, enjoying it when folks read and comment on mine, etc.) I think I'd find it harder to go back to not blogging.
Lovely bracelet!
I think the clairty for me comes from re-visiting what I've been through. Blogging allows for a snapshot of emotion that we might not otherwise remember. Oh, we might remember being sad or happy but sometimes the intesity of a situation can be lost to time. For me blogging allows me to see where I was and where I am now. Not to dwell but to understand.
So beautiful! What a precious bracelet, even more so that you're finally able to have it out. I'm very happy for you my dear friend.
*HUGS*
I have a feeling they are bracelet(s)/bangles and not just once piece right? Beautiful! I love the colors.
I always wished I could journal like my DH has been able to do so well. I feel like in many ways my adult life is a black hole if it weren't for his journaling. But, now we get to see the world through my eyes. I get the benefit of going back through prior thoughts and see how far I've come. Although my blogging tenure is quite short (6 mos) I feel like if I were to all of a suddon stop it would be a tragically black whole.
Beautiful! I guessed beads but for some reason I didn't follow through with bracelet. It actually reminded me of an old Christmas ornament I used to have!
When I read back through my miscarriages, I realize how much I had forgotten about little details. Even though they meant so much to me at the time. It is strange how facinating my ~own~ blog can be to me sometimes.
