Thanks so much Michele!!! Your post of course has started more tears, LOL, sorry!
It isn't all bad type of crying. But it's definitely a lot of crying! DH and I set a date today to go to Hawaii. I'm really crying about that one, which I guess says a lot for how much I really need to just go and do it. (Long story, but we never went on our planned honeymoon to Hawaii in 2001.)
And with Christmas carols playing, studying left to do, decisions to make about what kind of person I need to be (which is that I want/need to quit the job, since I realized yesterday I wasn't capable of making it work out for me to work there and stay sane), it feels like my parents have stopped being interested in me (and I can't blame them in the least, law school is boring if you aren't in it!), stories of everyone here having terribly big things in their lives, I'm really pretty lucky. I'm just terrible at realizing it since I get so caught up in myself.
Sigh. Crying can be really really good, and I haven't allowed myself to cry lately since I knew it was going to take energy and time. Today, it came anyway without asking for my permission!
Thanks so much for the hugs!!!
