After not posting for quite a while, I wish this could be an uplifting or happy post. The fact is I find myself really emotional lately. I seem to cry at the drop of a hat. I walk around with a constant lump in my throat. I don't think I'm depressed, but everything seems to set me off.
- The heart wrenching photo of the faithful dog at the Navy Seal's funeral.
- The hungry kitten video that Oct posted on her blog. I thought it was cute until I made the mistake of watching it on Youtube and saw the back story.
- The beautiful opera singer on America's Got Talent. Her singing is so amazing, I just started crying. (So this is not really a "sad" moment, just emotional.)
- Talking to Dr D about my grandmother. I don't understand how, 40 years after her death, I can't talk about her without crying. I still miss her so much.
- Finally (and I realize this is the most pathetic thing to be sad about)...My mother telling me that I need a facelift. A few days ago, I drove all the way to Tacoma to go with her to the doctor. Afterwards, we're just standing in the parking lot talking about a few things. and all of a sudden she starts to pick apart my face. She points out my sagging jowls and drooping eyelids. When she's done pointing out my facial defects, I'm surprised that other people in the parking lot didn't run away screaming because I'm apparently pretty scary looking. On my way home, alone in my car, I just cried for 20 minutes.
Well, I'm sorry this long overdue post is nothing but a litany of what's making me sad these days. I'll try to write a more positive post soon.
