Reminiscing

I think today is the perfect day for reminiscing. Cool and rainy. You don’t want to go outside so you sit there and suddenly people cross your mind. Some make you smile. Some make your heart hurt. Some of these people I like to think about. I like thinking of our crazy situations and the fun we have had. But then I miss them even more. These are people who are gone from my life. Some of the people are not only gone from my life, but left in a bad way. And even though it may not have ended well, I still care about them. Some of them are dead and some alive. Obviously I can’t speak to the  dead ones, but I also can’t speak to some of the live ones. They distanced themselves from me and I can’t bridge that distance. It’s not my place. They made a choice. It’s sad. Yet it is a fact of life.

So I have had my moment of reminiscing today. I have teared up but did not cry…the tears just rested on the rims of my eyes. Now I am going to do something that makes me smile. I am going to cuddle with my sweet cats. They are ready for some time with Mama and I am exhausted. Hope you have a good day.
