What made you cry today?.....

What made you cry today?......

Was it a memory? Did someone say or do something to hurt you? Was it a sad movie?.........

For me it was memories of my mother and her Christmas Eve picnics on her living room floor. The whole family would gather at her house each Christmas Eve just to have fun. We'd play games with silly gifts and laugh and relax, tell stories. She died a few years ago and the picnics just ended. Now I live a long way from the others. I really miss those get togethers.

Say.......


God how it hurts to listen to the man I'm in love with enthuse about the woman he's in love with. But I love him enough to stand and take it, as long as he's happy.

Holidays do bring a LOT of memories, tinged with a touch of sadness when it involves those who have passed on.

Today, however, I cried a little that Oman did not get the job he had been so excited about.

We both believe everything does happen for the best, and at least he does have a new job available at the end of January.

It was sad to have to tell him the news though.


I also cried a bit watching "Dr. Phil" today. They were hosting a Xmas party for families with moms and dads who are away serving in Iraq. I cannot imagine how they must feel, and was deeply touched watching them hear messages from their loved ones.

CUTTIN ONIONS

Thinking about all of the people going hungry this holiday while the place I work at throws food away.

Thinking of all of the children that will get nothing for Christmas this year.

Knowing I will not be happy because I miss my love ones

Nothing

 

[Gothgal]

that my ex b/f showed up and shot his mouth off...

 

[done_got_old]

The news!

A woman was murdered and her unborn child cut from her body. Police here think they've found the baby girl alive. That's a tear-jerker.

I know exactly how you feel Always........I lost my mom at Thanksgiving 13 years ago and the season is always a bit sad.

Waking up with another nightmare. God, it's getting to the point where I'm thinking of going back to not trying to sleep anymore.

I finally let loose the floodgate of tears that I'd been holding back all week. I am having a very hard time wrapping my head around the thought that the most influential man in my life is suffering from terminal cancer. He is a man who I worked for for 14 years. He & his wife always told me that I was like a daughter to him.

I'm also crying because a so-called friend can't be compassionate. She said I'm sorry, by rote with no sincerity, but hasn't checked a week later to see if I'm okay. She's the type that needs constant hand-holding during down times but cannot give it back in return. And that makes me very, very sad.

Denae have you been able to talk to him?

Maybe your friend is not capable of showing compassion. Sometimes the people who are the most demanding emotionally don't know how to give.

what the playground has become... it used to be much more fun

I know how you feel AA.
Both of my parents are gone now, and Christmas was my dad's favorite time of year, he loved teasing us as he gave out our gifts on Christmas Eve.

I spent part of the afternoon talking with my son about my parents and their lives, and my life growing up.
He gave me the greatest compliment when he said I took after my parents in that I was so nice and caring for everyone around me. That brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you son and thank you mom and dad, I will love you always.

I agree...where did all the fun people go?

Words hurt.... badly. They have the power to make someone feel on top of the world or lower then sludge. They can build someone up to a strong, confidant person or flay the last shreds of self-worth away. Today it was the later. I had a male ( I won't call him a man) tell me to get my ugly face out from in front of him and go back to grazing with the rest of the cows. All I had done was offer to open the door for him since his hands were full. I just don't feel I deserved that. Now I'm so depressed I just sit and cry. Today really sucked.

So sorry for what you were made to suffer today Kik...
that's so disgusting and un-called-for!


You are so right... Words can hurt... VERY badly. A very popular book says that life and death are in the power of the tongue (more modern translation says in the power of the spoken word). How true... how very very true. I've experienced that here, firsthand.
