So, this week for some crazy reason I have been EMOTIONAL. Typing at my computer, tears just start falling. Anything can set this off. Just typing this, I am tearing up. What is wrong with me?
I may have gotten a clue what is wrong last night at a class.
Background info - last week I dragged out some old cassette tapes I had of the kids from 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1997. Listened and really enjoyed hearing their sweet voices and fun singing we used to do.
To continue with my story, last night there were some small children in the store. One of them sounded so very like Jordan when she was 4 and 5. I almost started crying right then and there!
Then it dawned on me. Perhaps this trip down memory lane was the preciptiating factor for my crying spells.
So, next step. Get a grip chickie! Don't just sit around and be morose and weepy, take action! Enjoy what is, don't obsess with what used to be. Be happy it happened, but don't get caught up in the past. Look to the future. So, maybe by taking my own advice I will get this emotional hurricane under control!

I think for me, I've got this constant theme going in my head that the best is yet to come, and so I can look at the past with pleasure and say, "Okay, that was good (or not as the case may be). What's next?" And really, as a believer in Christ, the best really is yet to come. Besides that, with a mom who went hang gliding for the first time in her 60's, how in the world could you or I EVER think life is over at 40? LOL
Annette sorry you are feeling so blue and out of sorts. I don't get emotional and cry at the drop of a hat but do feel like I am losing control. I don't mean I have to control everything in my life but with Danielle in college and working all the time...I hardly see her. Chris has his drivers license now and Meghan will get hers in March. When did this happen that my children grew into young women and a man? Seems like yesterday they were little and now practically out of the house. That is why I am enjoying watching my nephew so much. I'm enjoy watching him explore the world and know that I am a very important part of his little life.
Hope you feel better soon!
Oh Annette! Didn't you know being meloncholy is just part of it all? Heck I get my spurts of it too. Don't worry and this too shall pass!
But you know what -- maybe a good reminiscing cry is good for the soul every so often. If not, there are always good drugs out there! :lol:
