Unusual Day

I am having an unusual day today. I am crying a lot, all kinds of things are bringing tears to my eyes. Good memories, thoughts of people I miss, places I’d like to be, sad situations that remain sad, observing kind things that people do, well, the list goes on. I am not feeling unhappy, or sad, or depressed, no, I just cry about things that come to mind. My thoughts are many, varied, brief, non-analytical, and very succinct.

Good grief, I am becoming dehydrated! I will have to pour myself a large juice and soda and sit quietly for a while.

Life is pretty good right now. Maybe I’ve just been letting these emotions pile up until the resulting tower tipped. Maybe it is the rain, which has been falling all day. Or maybe I don’t know why today is a river of tears day, and all I need to do is let the day flow by as it will. “I don’t know” is the only answer I have, and it works, because it is true.

Aw! Sorry you’re having a maudlin day. Hope some things come up that bring smiles to your face.

Sending you a hug…

Actually, now that you mention it, I’ve had a huge knot in my throat all day now… haven’t let go but want to. Glad you are not unhappy… there’s nothing wrong with happy tears, too.

Aw I also hope you feel better. It sounds like it was a day of strong feelings. Sometimes we push things to the back of our minds and then other things happen and bring a flood of emotion. I think that’s healthy. But I also hope tomorrow is a happy day for you!

You’re wise to let these feelings be what they are, perfectly valid even if the reasons aren’t obvious. xoxo – Kate
