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

I'm feeling torn. I live in a small town, thus I never know if I'm going to run into someone I know. I'm being torn again by the dynamics of what to do, especially on days, when I'm not up to chatting, etc.

It's like this one person was so glad to see me, she worked at the hospital where I did, but I'm wondering why, I wasn't thrilled to see her. I even saw someone that I would call to talk over some my stuff. I haven't called her in some time, and she hasn't called me either so when I saw her today, I avoided her.

All I know, I was so glad to be back home. As the sign said at one store, only 18 more days until Christmas!!
 
Its first thing in the morning on Saturday and am feeling
anxious
worried
nervous
upset
sad

Christmas kicks off for the kids today with their school Christmas fair. They'll be excited and things will definitely get out of hand at some stage. I have to remain calm, not get cross, try to understand. I won't be able to get them under control by anything else than talking calmly. Not easy with a zero flashpoint.
I'm upset because this will be the last Christmas as a family and that makes me incredibly sad.
I can't help feeling that today is going to be too much to bear. Watching my wife be happy when she also knows this is the last time we'll be doing it together. The thought of it is bringing me to tears.
 
I feel happy and content.

My youngest daughter arrived for the weekend last night and oh my, it is so good to see her. I haven't seen her since August, so it means the world to me. We had a lovely night last night just talking and catching up.

I am alone in the house now, not even the dogs which is a little odd but the total quiet feels a nice quiet. H and daughter heve taken the dogs for a long walk, too far for me I'm afraid. I do love the fact that they have quality time together though. H is long walks and rock concerts, I'm home loving stuff and craft fairs. I feel so proud that we have such good relationships with both girls.

I am looking forward to tonight. H has his works Christmas party - no partners. Daughter and I have planned a take-a-way, sparkling wine to make Kir Royales, chocolates and a movie - bliss.

(((HUGS))) to everyone in need of a hug.
