What Moved You Emotionally Today?

I am moved by the aroma of spring in the air. I saw a couple dandelions too!

I was also moved to some kind of negative emotion by someone asking me for money so they could buy a car. I don't have the money to buy myself one, so why I would I donate to help someone else one! I was kind of disgusted by this. I felt it was some kind of audacity.
 
Day 19, finding a poem I wrote a few years ago, written when my dad was first displaying obvious symptoms of dementia. Moved to sadness, grief, which swiftly turned into anger, not in a nice way. Not a positive emotion today. Still dealing with it.
 
I must admit I usually try to avoid this thread because I don't like thinking about being moved emotionally because when I'm moved emotionally then I'm usually vulnerable and I feel as though if and when I'm vulnerable then I can't be as effective as a person. But anyway what moved me emotionally today and usually moves me emotionally is when I discover a truth about how I really feel, usually something that I sort of know exists but try to lie to myself and pretend that it's something else instead of the real issue. But when I can't lie and pretend that it's something else. Realizing the truth moves me emotionally.
 
Day 19

I had submitted a list of questions through an E-mail for my son and I to discuss over time. Things I have learned from the board concerning meditation & breathing, laughter, human being verses human doing, where is his safe happy place inside during panic, how is his somatic therapy doing, love in marriage, ect.

Today we shared again and I felt at peace & in joy. He invited me to see him and my DIL in Spring for a week as they live across country. My partner agreed to assist with the fare.

I felt blessed to know, I will hug them soon. So rare & precious are my moments of hearts sharing love in real time face to face.
