This morning I realized it's been a long, long while since I was last truly sad. It may appear odd to miss such a seemingly negative emotion, but note that I'm speaking of sadness & not of depression -- two very different things. After being subject to depression for years in the past, I would never wish that upon myself again. Sadness, conversely, I feel can be rather liberating. It shows one the full range of human emotion; the reality of ups & downs, all equally valuable. In no way am I complaining about the intense influx of love & light I've been blessed with this year, just trying to remember how sadness is something to be cherished as well. It's true over & over again that you don't know what you've got till it's gone. Coasting on a steady road of happiness is the most enlivening, freeing feeling, but rollercoasting between happiness & sadness can be something real too. I've nothing to be sad about right now, & I am thankful for that. I guess I'll just feel what I'm meant to feel when I'm meant to feel it. & right now, it's all b l i s s .
