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

@DMerish, I started writing about my trauma related to my narcissistic ex in my personal journal. One day I think I'll add it to my Trauma Diary. When I do, I'll flag you, and you can read my story related to him if you're interested.. so that you can confirm again that you're really not alone. Thanks for sharing, too, because it definitely made me feel better and not alone. :hug: I'm so glad you're going to treat yourself well during your vacation. :D You totally deserve it! :joyful: Oh, and I have a movie recommendation for you... The Lion in Winter with Katherine Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. It's amazing. I always feel like no matter how screwed up our Christmases have been, they're no where near as bad as the one in the movie. It's fantastic!!! :laugh: My husband loathes it.

What am I feeling?

Zen :cool:

Feeling pretty seriously sad today. I've been crying for most of the day, on and off. It hurts and I have been confronted with friends posting pics of their families, and food being shared and all the stuff I am not privy to at the moment. But I do have a swell cat to hang out with and all I need to paint and comfort food...but it's ...I just want today to be over. Feeling into my wounds today and anxious. I feel like I need to go for a bike ride or something...move around more.
 
Christmas 2013

I'm feeling mostly at peace, but also a tiny bit still agitated over the day's plans with one son. It will pass, and I'll have a good time today. I'm also feeling like a large portion of the grief I've carried throughout 2013 (over the deaths of four family members and friends) has been lifted. I'm looking forward to going into 2014 with some of the weight of that off of my shoulders.
 
I feel relieved that I made it through a holiday without any problems. I still have Christmas with my father, stepmother and siblings, with their families. A bit stressed about that one, but it is getting better. I think, I hope. Not until the 29th. In the mean time, I made it through today with little disappointment or the need to sleep. All and all a good feeling day.
 
((((((Definitely..maybe))))))) , an unexpected hug if you accept it. Just because a day starts badly doesn't mean it has to end that way. I hope there will be beautiful, good surprises in store for you.

I feel a lot of things, but also a bit lonely. Or perhaps 'alone', I can't really tell the difference. I could digress into thinking I must have done something awfully wrong, made bad choices to be alone at Christmas, or just am a bit of an alien without a spaceshp. But I had a couple of offers for Christmas Eve, they were impractical due to working and of course I don't feel I belong around others' families, but the choice was mine, and they were sweet to offer, I certainly didn't want them to nor expect it. So I think I'll just leave 'thoughts' alone, I am tired.

I wish everyone, regardless of how they choose to celebrate or beliefs, the hope for a peaceful and joyful time and all good things in the year ahead. :hug:
