Me at 50
Okay, so how does one articulate the soul of feelings? Words seem too shallow right now. Have you ever been so touched and blessed that you could only cry tears of joy? That’s how I feel right now. I purposefully used the phrase, *soul of feelings* because at this moment my feelings are running deep – like they have a soul of their own. I have waited 50 years to feel this way. No, I haven’t *arrived* – I won’t arrive till I’m walking in heaven, but I have experienced joy, love, preciousness, tenderness, happiness, contentedness, secure in myself, and accepted all at the same time. Now how do you put words to that to truly give it credit and be able to transend the soul of the feelings through writing?
I have the most amazing husband, adult children (all 6 of them), grandchildren, and genuine friends that anyone could want. The amount of love that was lavished upon me this week has been overwhelming.
There truly is something to be said about being vulnerable. I wished I would have learned that years ago – no, let me rephrase that – I’m glad I have learned that! My relationships with friends and even acquaintances have deepened since I’ve become more transparent and vulnerable on a consistent basis.
My prayer is that I will learn to experience the *soul* of my feelings and embrace them without dismissing them with the *busyness* of life!
