Easter

I often wonder if other people's brains work similarly to mine. 

Are other people able to be both sad and happy at the same time. Do others flicker back and forth between feeling good and feeling as though the roof is going to cave in at any moment seemingly all the time? 

I was excited and happy yesterday to celebrate my child's birthday at the coast and on such a gorgeous day, but the news media accounts that I saw before leaving made me feel stressed and anxious and just plain unhappy with the country I live in. Luckily I got side-tracked by the beautiful beach and wonderful company but back in my house again... and today despite another lovely day... I am both happy and stressed, content to relax and yet worried about the work that needs to be done at home and in the world. 

Am I the only one? Does this ever happen to you?

Love & Hate

I love my life as it is,
I hate it too

I love my family so much,
but wish it better as well

I love myself,
but have always hated myself at the same time...

I want to love my country
but really don't at this moment in history

love, hate, up, down,
I find both of these emotions all around.
