on reflection
I’m done whining. Yesterday was such an odd day. I couldn’t quit crying. Everything remotely sad made me just start crying like crazy.
I was acting crazy, too. the waterworks would start and I’d look over at Dakota and ask him what was wrong with me. The silliest things were making me cry.
Maybe I just needed to get it out of my system: the stress of the semester, the illness, the getting older. Today I feel rejuvenated and like my old self again.
So, no more whining about how rough my life is. I know I have it good. I have a job I love, a pup who adores me and comforts me when I cry, a home that I own, a family that is supportive, and a school career that I am excited about. That’s good stuff.

I like this line – “Today I feel rejuvenated and like my old self again.” Rejuvenated and old in the same sentence. Great.
It’s all good, even the bad, and a good cry sometimes helps me remember that.
