What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

[Tinyflame]

I feel so relieved to REALLY have a couple of days of peace, and did not end up scheduled endlessly for Good Friday, how so very nice. :)
I finally figured out, not just April/ May but Easter is a trigger for me. Or more accurately triggers are embedded within it.

I feel more 'safe', or less frightened (whatever the word for 'less frigthened' is? :confused::rolleyes: )
I feel very very thankful. :)

I think I understand what they mean by ~a healthy selfishness, figure my goal for this weekend is to keep some balance, and celebrate Easter, more than finish raking and clean the house. But that's a different thread (hee). :D

Hugs to all.

Should say too, I hear fighting outside (now), I feel apprehensive for them (and triggered), and unsure of what to do :( , but it seems to be winding down. But there is something to be said also for the deep gratitude and relief I feel to not be having to be dealing with that 'un-safety' at the present moment myself, and how it feels.

((((Hugs)))) to all.

I feel pathetic and stupid and annoyed at myself today.

I feel happy that the sun is back out today.
I feel blessed that I have the boys home for 10 days!

I am tired after a lousy nights sleep. I was up early but I did go back to bed and slept.

I feel relaxed and happy, my darling girls and their boyfriends will all be here later.

I am looking forward to a nice paella tonight and then some family games.

(((HUGS)))

Glad to hear your girls are going to be home with you ((((KP))))

((((Beverly G.)))), what great news about your sister for Easter

My neighbors and I are awaiting the news from the family members of one of our favorite neighbors who is on his last hours - generalized cancer. We know that we will be attending a funeral after Easter. Just asking for prayers that he doesn't suffer to much, he has already been through hell.

Better starting place today.

I feel calm. I feel okay. I feel shoulder and neck pain but that is bearable. I feel rested. I feel I can do what needs doing today.

Feel a lot better today, kitty woke me at 6.30am to be fed, naughty girl. Had a cup of tea laid on the couch and slept till 10.30am. Beautiful day outside the sun is shining and it's warming up a bit.

Wish everyone a carefree day at the start of the Easter break. (((((Hugs))))) for all that need them. :)

I feel tired, anxious, and like a child who wants something but doesn't know what it is.

I feel relaxed and happy.

I'm making a card for my friends 50th and his has been nothing but trouble! I have almost finished it so that feels good. One part of her present has arrived but the second part hasn't - stupid Amazon!

I had a lovely day out at Chrik Castle in Wales yesterday. It was sunny but so cold with snow on the ground. I slept well and feel so much better.:D

May I offer a big hug for all of you who are struggling with Easter. I know I do. x

 

[Tinyflame]

Oh Cath, :( (((((Super Hugs))))))
And trust you to be doing all these things for others and trying to help others feel better when you don't feel so great yourself. ((((((Double Hugs)))))

I too realized yesterday, my mom died many years ago after Easter- not directly during but about 2 or 3 weeks later (she was ill), and I realize 'Easter' has been kind of a downer. Not because Easter 'is' (to me), but I remember that Easter going on my own to the late mass (that was a first- the late one, which was the one she liked and she couldn't go), and I just felt so sad, so exhausted, and so isolated, and recall overhearing people 'worried about' (ie talking about) things that were so small, I think the way it turned out there wasn't even anyone to wish a 'Happy Easter' to (at that part of the Mass), and most of all it was the turning point of really feeling how hopeless it was that she would live much longer. And when I got home I hid it, but she hadn't had a great night, either. :(
Just a memory but I guess it's had influence. :(

Mind you, maybe more than I know because one part of me loves to go to Mass at Easter, it's much of what Easter means to me ('selfishly', I mean over-and-above trying to make it nice for others), but the other part of me really wants to 'skip' going, entirely, like drag me there. Painful reminders. :(

I feel sad it's 'Good Friday', (even though it's 'Good'). :(

Hi ((((((Jenebug)))))),

I can sympathize with you there. My parents died in March but on different years. My brother and sister don't do much at Easter and my in-laws (out-laws) are going out for Easter Sunday lunch with others and my Dad-in-law. They don't invite us which makes me angry but is sad for my Husband.

Then they have planned a secret meet-up with my other sis-in-law from Italy and her H as they are coming over and staying in Wales for Easter. Not only have they planned a 'get together' they haven't told us about it or even told us they are coming to the UK. (I found out through a third party and they don't know that I know)!

This is what makes Easter and Christmas a real nightmare for me. :(

Those who died cared and those who are alive don't.:cry:

On a happier note, I'm planning a nice roast dinner for my H and the lads and we will watch films and spend time just being us. :)
