I admire my dear friends who take time to keep a blog, and I LOVE to check in now and then to read about what is going on, but it has always seemed to overwhelming to me. However I want a place to post things I want to remember ... and I think I am just about done with Facebook. I want a place where I can write what I want and allow who I want to read it. So here I am!!
I have been contemplating the natural part of each of our lives which is the sad part. I think for so long I have thought that being sad was a shameful thing or something that is okay for short amounts of time but should be quickly overcome. I have thought that being sad for to long causes one to become defective and less desirable. I am changing my view on that. I am now starting to think that saddness is a part of each of us just as our arm or leg and we should not deny it but rather use it as a signal to look closer to what is making us sad. So today I have allowed myself to be sad, it was hard, but I am okay with it. The funny thing is that at the end of the day the overwhelming thought and feeling I had is that of contentment and fullness. I keep thinking that I LOVE my life, I am so blessed to be who I am, when I am and where I am. I love my children, they make me smile and amaze me constantly. My husband makes me laugh every time we talk ... and I just love my life. It is amazing, I really did not expect that after a day of allowing myself to sit with my saddness I would end the day still sad but full and content. I am so thankful!!
