I am just wondering does anyone else ever experience an intense feeling on occasion that they are full of love to share, so much so that other people must feel it radiating from you? That they want to hug their dearest friends and possibly even trees, there is so much love emanating from them? Do parents feel this and feel it often?
Have just been to see my wonderful friend Ewa back from her holiday and now happily doing some sewing to make some pillow cases for my new flat. I love her to bits and yes we hugged – three times. Drive there and back was in the sun through beautiful wooded roads. I was listening to Dolly Parton and am hoarse from singing along. No tree hugging let me assure you.
Feel very happy as I write this and I have much to be happy about. Strange in a way because this morning I was incredibly sad and cried in sympathy for someone Timi knows well and their family who lost someone very dear to them in the early hours of this morning. A few days ago I cried with joy reading the email from William describing the birth of their baby girl Olivia and becoming a dad. It was beautiful. There are endings and there are beginnings. To live through these experiences leaves one forever changed and makes us special people. You can (well I can) see and feel in someone that they have had such experience. To not live through them can leave us naively empty and emotionally underdeveloped. A friend used to irritate the hell out of me with their suffering is a gift spiel, including and especially my migraines, but I might be 10% there to understanding what they meant. Sorry – I know I am being obscure.
Anyway I am even more happy Olivia wasn’t a he, otherwise they were going to call her Bernard. Sorry guys but we are going to have to talk especially if you get pregnant again ;-)
