Waiting For My Feelings to Catch Up
Watching their smiles makes it okay. |
It hasn’t been what I expected. Vacation at the beach this year has not been the same as in years past. My kids are practically grown, I find myself distracted by the future.
Part of me is relaxed. I enjoy time at the pool, drinking coffee on the balcony, watching the waves, walking on the beach. But coming here has revealed to me just how tense and anxious I am inside. Everything is changing this fall.
My head knows all the right things to say to myself. But that doesn’t change how I feel.
Fortunately I really do know things will be fine, and not even just fine, but great. The kids are all off on grand adventures and new chapters of their lives this year. I am excited for them.
Sometimes you just have to ride it out and let your feelings catch up.
It's all right to feel that way. Feelings aren't wrong and you'll miss them.
So true Alex. It helps me to come up with new ideas for myself now and then. Like right now I've been working on how to sell paintings in galleries. Every now and then we all need something new and exciting so there's a reason to have fun.
Sheila, I agree with what Alex said. : )
