moment of sadness
« on: December 19, 2009, 08:46:00 PM »
I had friends over last night to go threw my stuff kinda like a house garage sale.  It was fun then i wake up and realize my grill is gone and i get sad.
My grill! really

So laying in bed and now watching the holiday - I am having one of those days and needed a vent.
I am missing DH and realizing next week is Xmas without him and new years without him but we do have our whole life ahead of us.

Then I have my friends here who have become my family and I get sad but put on a brave face but will miss them all terrible.

I just need a quick vent but not a blog
Thanks

It was always something odd that got to me too.  It's normal!  Hang in there!
Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

Me too...the things that you expect to upset you usually you manage just fine. It is the little moments that catch you off guard. You are definately not alone!

Coming from a fellow Austinite - I totally get the grill thing.  We got rid of our Weber propane grill right before we moved house. That thing was a beast at grilling.  It was one of the biggest signs that our trip back to the UK was real.  I feel for you - grilling stands for so much more than the thing - all the backyard parties and evening dinners and ritas' in the summer.  You'll replace those things with other traditions in the UK, but you'll have to come back to TX for really good grillin!

Awwww. Getting rid of your stuff really is hard. I nearly had a panic attack when I realised that most of my stuff was gone, and most of the rest of it would have to go, and the sudden enormity of moving out of the COUNTRY slapped me in the face like a ton of bricks, and with it, a million questions popped in my head - What if I hate it? What if I don't make friends there? What am I going to do when I can't drive myself or when everything is unfamiliar?  etc, etc, etc. It's even harder when you are there alone, without the Big Reason you are moving sitting there next to you to remind you of the good stuff. Needless to say, it was a turning point for me, because I realised that I had to go and find out the answers or I would never know! Once that night passed off, I felt much more confident about what I was going to do, because I knew I had faced the worst moment of fear and overcame it. So don't worry, you aren't the only one who misses her grill. (hehe) Also, DH and I spent the first few months we were married apart, and I know how tough that can be, and surreal it feels to be married but still alone.

Don't worry, soon enough we will be discussing this stuff over those awesome margaritas you keep talking about (though we may be sitting in front of a fire while we drink them instead of sitting on a hot Texas patio somewhere.... lol.)  :-*
