Today someone told me I have been grumpy the past few days. So what, we aren’t allowed a little grumpiness any more? I mean, sure it’s not a good attitude but I’ve got a reason. (that’s what they all say, but this time I mean it).
The past three Augusts have been hard for me. I’m afraid they always will be. My deep sadness must just translate as grumpiness to other people.
Oh, I’m sorry, I’ll try to hide my grief and pain so that you can be happy thinking my life is always rainbows and butterflies.
*sigh* I know I’m supposed to move on, and trust God. And don’t get me wrong, I do. But God didn’t say that once we went through a time of grief we had to be happy ever after. It’s part of life to go through stages where you don’t feel like you’re walking through a field of daisies. Sometimes you have to walk through the forest.
I apologize if it upsets you that I’m there right now, but I’ll be back to my sunshiny self soon.
its ok to be sad….but there is joy in the morning….
Jesus cried with His friends and family even right before he was about to raise Lazarus from the dead! He cried until it was time to bring them all back together again. I think He’ll cry with you,Kathryn, until it’s time to bring you two together again.
I understand exactly what you mean…:-(
