Every once in awhile I have feelings of "melancholy"- to some that may seem a bad thing.... I like to think of it as a feeling of thoughtful sadness. =)
I get to missing the grandchildren, my kids, and my Mom {this past week marked 3 years since her death}
It seems there is always something to be missing. Such is life, right?
So when I get to feeling this way, I give myself a little time to "enjoy" the sadness...then I move on. It helps to talk with friends or plan dates to see the kids-
Okay, so the girls and I have a fun date planned- to one of our favorite places-
More on that later-
I have a fun few days planned with Carlee- she is going to be our little secretary- something that she did last year also. {this picture was taken a couple of years ago- Carlee wasn't too sure about the wig.}
Sam and his Family along with Denver and Bree will be sharing Thanksgiving with us- something wonderful to look forward too.
Blogs are great for families that live far from each other- Shannon's post today made me smile.
And Nicholas is visiting us for Christmas...how fun it that?!
So I let "Melancholy" hang around for a moment...just long enough for me to realize how truly blessed I am.
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.
- Anatole France
