It is OK to be...

Inhale, now exhale. Take a moment to just relax, and now the time has to come to open the pages of the new book! There is nothing like the adventures you can have when you read a novel. We can travel through time, over great distances and escape into another life. Books are great. Books can also be educational (think text books). For me, the novel I am reading was just that. Reading the story reminded me of a clear fact that I had forgotten. The truth is that while it is important to live joyful lives, it is also OK to let yourself feel: sad, happy, scared, anxious, annoyed, etc. We all have emotions and life is about experiencing all of them. Life is crazy and mixed up and we are all going to experience the whole gamut, it is ok. Let yourself. Be honest with yourself about how you feel, and be honest with God. Because we live in a sinful world, not everything we experience is going to be good. Some of it is the nitty gritty of life. Admit how you feel, talk to someone and that way you can move on. Just remember, however you are feeling, be honest about it. Have a blessed Mother's Day! -Me-
