Hang in there...backwards, forwards, any direction.<BR/><BR/>I think you hit the nail on the head when you ask if one can grieve and celebrate at the same time. Absolutely.

She'd point out that they existed in equal measures, no matter how far apart they seemed. She used to tell me I needed to learn to "hold both poles."<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing you might have a few suggestions about what could be done with those poles, and they might not include simple "holding."<BR/><BR/>But hold on, Carrie. The new will wear off the Little Store. The planets will shift. And you will find your balance again.<BR/><BR/>Meantime...what LaLa said.Jerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063270175679985513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-22066977858293014872008-01-24T16:46:00.000-08:002008-01-24T16:46:00.000-08:00You are having a human retro moment. you know, the...You are having a human retro moment. you know, the old comes back....we regress but only momentarily. In a positive light this could be seen as a form of therapy or working thru something that was put away before it was finished and the lid is on but what is inside is pushing, almost bursting and when it can take no more, it pops open (okay, sometimes explodes)and everything comes back out for a second look or processing...<BR/>In the end, it is part of being human...I call it a human moment...It's okay to be overwhelmed or sad or to dwell. Remember the 15 minute rule. That can be used here too. Visit the emotion or thought or regret and sometimes the 15 minutes will be enough or too much and sometimes we need a day or a week. <BR/>Renewal and Refresh is around the corner Carrie:):)xoLoLolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698761473490986207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-66364126107623917682008-01-24T15:18:00.000-08:002008-01-24T15:18:00.000-08:00Carrie, sometimes we have to ride the funk out, an...Carrie, sometimes we have to ride the funk out, and see what it is trying to tell us. There is always a lesson to be learned, something going on, that our body is trying to tell us. The good thing about feelings is that they do change, and this feeling will pass. Soon I hope. Take la la's really good advice. Be gentle with yourself, do things you enjoy, get some laughs in and kick some ass.<BR/>XOXOXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-39589650898809182382008-01-24T14:37:00.000-08:002008-01-24T14:37:00.000-08:00OMG!!!
