Have you ever got up in the morning, and just had a deep feeling of sadness, you are not sure what it is, you are not sure why you have it, you know you have so much to be thankful for, so much more than so many, and yet that ache is there.......................... it is like you want to spend the whole day peeling onions...............really good strong onions............ so no one can see the tears are real........
For my birthday I had received a gift voucher for a coffee shop, so although my birthday was in December, yesterday was the first time I had some time to use it. So off we went for lunch, the place was called Legato............ a beautiful place where the owners live on the top floor and the coffee shop is on the bottom floor, a peaceful place with nooks and crannies all over, so you didn't know what was around the next corner.................... I suppose just like my life right now, full of hope and also full of uncertainty................
The music was "semi' classical if there is such a thing, nice background music................. the only problem was the strange feeling I had when I walked inside, have you ever walked into a place and the hairs on the back of your neck just stand on edge.......... this has happened to me twice, once when I went into the kitchen of the General Jan Smuts museum in Irene and yesterday when I walked into the Legato Coffee Shop ..................
We were sitting eating in a little corner we had to eat inside because Kayla as usual had forgotten her jersey and the weather is really turning quite chilly, this morning was the first freeze of the winter......... we had just received our food, given thanks ........ and the next minute a clock fell of the wall........... just fell off the wall............... there was no one sitting near it there was no walking past it, no one bumped a table ............. nothing......... it just fell off the wall.
We were laughing and joking about it when the lamp on the table across the room started to flicker........... and that was me.............. I just had this really uncomfortable feeling............ that continued to stay with me the whole day......................
In the evening I was bringing in the washing and the wisteria pods which were at the top of the mulberry tree were breaking open from the cold, and all I could think of was my heart breaking open............ and the dark cloud of sadness is still just above my head...............
Karen honey don't quiet know what to say to you other than I am sorry your having such sadness over you right now. Wish I could help you in some way and if I can just let me know. If nothing else I am here to listen. Just email me and let me know.
ReplyDeleteWhat a story about the coffee shop incident. Yes I have had those type of experiences your talking about and I usually run from where I get the feeling. lol...the chicken in me comes out when I have those feelings especially if it is a public place and one I have not been to very much.
I have found from being in law enforcement over the last 20 years to go with your gut feeling.
I have to reread this post but do let me know if I can help you lift the sadness
Love

Also I wanted to say that these dark clouds your feeling happen to all of us time and again but not easy to deal with alone. So know we are all out here for you

I have had feelings like that, too. I wonder what that's all about. I wonder if it was something about the place you were in, or the time of life you're in? Spiritual things are so interesting, aren't they? I have heard so many Christians feeling a sense of sadness, lately.
ReplyDeleteHey yes I've had those feelings. Some days I just don't want to do what needs to be done and I know I have so much to be thankful for and yet it doesn't feel that good. I think it's normal, and probably also something to do with hormones. I used to try and fight it, ignore it, get busy - generally it doesn't work so I'm just kind to myself, knowing tomorrow I'll wake up feeling much better. Hope you do too. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat an experience..I have had instant weird feelings come to me when I've met certain people..it makes me want to turn and run! We looked at a house to buy many years ago and my Father-in-law was with us. We liked it but he said if we bought it he would never come inside again..weird..we didn't buy it. Sometimes it's best to just go with the sadness...have a good cry and hope for a brighter light tomorrow. I'll keep you in my prayers that you'll get through this time.
ReplyDeleteRough night could not sleep much and thought of you while lying there looking at the ceiling. lol
ReplyDeleteBe glad when this ordeal of pain is over for both of us. My accident has just about did me in.
Remembered something I had wrote a while back and thought I needed to give it to you..so if I can find it I will
Be strong today and let me know how you are
Love
Maggie
