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

I'm sorry for all who are feeling down today, and happy for those who are feeling good! For me, the emotional 'weather' can change rapidly! I hope the 'storms' pass quickly for you who are suffering.

Until this year, I have dreaded the holidays since my little girl passed away in November 19 years ago. The new baby in our lives' has fixed that already!!!

I'm excited about going today, to visit my son, his wife and their new baby! She's not even a month old and I'm thrilled to be this close. It's about 3 hours drive at the most, depends on my stops.

This time, I'll get to hold her more. I only stayed about 5 days after she was born, cuz they needed to bond. I wanted them to share in the sweet beginnings. Now, they are ready to go out on a date, and Grammy is on the way!!!

(((:)hugs:))) to ALL!!
 
You can do this!

Thanks Green Frog, you were right I DID IT :D.

I feel tired and a little drained but it has been a wonderful day. The drive (120 miles) went smoothly, even driving home in the dark - yes we stayed out that long - 5 hours :eek:. The time flew by.

I'm so proud I did it.

I have walked the dogs and I will but the bins out to be collected tomorrow. Then I am going to spend the night relaxing, I may even have a glass of wine.
 
I feel a little blurry today. It is M's funeral today. So I will see everyone today. There will be 300 plus people there today. So just about everyone will be there. It still hasn't hit home that she has died yet. So I guess that will come.

I did stuff that was difficult for me yesterday. That was good discipline - to do things that I find challenging. It is practice, practice, practice for me.

I feel a bit numb. I feel a bit sad.
 
with tears streaming down my face

Do you cry pretty like the actresses on tv, or like me with the red splotches all over my face and the red rim eyes? Never matter, I'm sure you were still beautiful! You go ahead and cry. New studies have shown that it is good for us to cry(yes they did study this, when I could have told them!).

I did that in a grocery store once. It was the first time, after my mom passed away, that I went in the grocery store that my mom and I use to shop in. I barely got pass the produce when the tears flooded out. I could only manage what a mess I looked like. Yet, I continued shopping, despite the looks I was getting. I think I would have preferred it on the beach.

Hang in there. You have a right to cry wherever you want whenever you want or need to. Sometimes we can't help where that happens. I wish you strength Greenfrog2. You deserve it.
