I was reading your post in a reader format no pictures and I thought you are talking to me.
My oldest sister who lives 3000 miles away from me in Wales UK. who hasn't spoken to me since 1987 fell out of bed today and knocked herself out and strangled on her nightgown that got caught on the handle of her night table..I feel weepy myself and a little vulnerable..you see she is the last member of my family save for me who was alive..I feel like that light..I still shine on too. Thanks for this post it was there when I needed it

Our minister always says
that people experience both
joy and sorrow more deeply
at the holidays; that is certainly
true for me, who feels things
more keenly than most all year
long. Thank you for the extra
love....I needed that : )

PS. Love your pics!

Hugs to you, I agree there are times in the quiet that I look around and feel weepy myself. I miss my parents and think of family and friends that have passed on. Maybe in those moments is when we gather our strength to pass our knowledge to others as you did today...thank you. Di

This is such a lovely post. Yes, some of us are grievers for the world, I agree. I try to see good in this world and it gets harder every day.

May your Christmas be merry!

ja manchmal hat man so melancholische Tage.Gerade so vor Weihnachten. Ich glaube aber das kleine Licht ist wieder so etwas besonderes, es wird mehr wahr genommen als die anderen.
Eine liebe Umarmung für DIch.

and sending peace and love right back to you :)

As years pass, I, too, have also become very sensitive to the world around me. I weep easily when I hear certain songs, read certain books, see certain movies. I want to blame it on hormones and the like, however, I just think layers are peeled away from us as we get older, making us more intuitive, raw, affected. I hope you find strength knowing you're not alone, girl. Hugs! Lisa xo

Michelle I totally understand exactly what you are saying. I think this is a good time of year to refelect and sometimes even Kathysue gets a bit melancholy for her three little boys that are now MEN!! Sweet memories!! Have your day of being with your sweet memories! it looks and sounds as if you have the perfect environment to do so. I wish you a blessed sweet day, xo kathysue

Thinking of you. Wish you lived closer. It is sunny day in Seattle today - would like to take you out for a long walk along the water.

Oh Michele - My heart breaks for you today. It's the sensitive people in the world like you who deserve just one more hug to let them know how much they are loved and treasured. Keep the faith, my friend - and keep looking up. Tomorrow will be a better day. ♥

My mom was always ultra-sensitive when I was growing up and I saw her quickness to tears as a weakness... yet the older (and wiser!) I've become, the more and more sensitive I get. I will easily weep at anything touching or heart-warming or emotive! I don't view it as weakness any longer but as someone who is a little closer to their own emotion and those of others and there is incredble strength in that. I was so wrong as a kid...

Sending you extra hugs and love today my dear - you have a wonderful soul xxxx

sending peace, hugs and love right back atcha!!
