big feelings are hard

Today, I am grateful for nightly check ins with my soul sister. 

I am learning when I fear an eruption of big emotions is ahead, my immediate reaction is to dissociate. 

I accomplished being honest with myself and a fellow traveler when I recognized I was trying to stuff my feelings down with distractions. 

I delighted in a foggy morning and sunny afternoon, in seeing two beautiful horses in their pasture, and in unexpected belly laughs.
