Why Am I So Emotional???
For the past few days, I’ve been able to stir up tears at the drop of a hat. I can’t quite explain it and I’m not sure why it’s happening. But I’m ready for it to stop.
I saw the video for that Alicia Keys song and listened to the words for the first time.
If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn’t feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I’d be wishing you were here
To be everything that I’d be looking for
I don’t wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don’t wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
‘Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed
So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you’ll love me
Love me like you’ll never see me again
After watching that video I was in tears and emailing my husband to tell him how much I love and appreciate him.
Then, a couple days later, I remembered seeing my oldest son hug and play with his little baby cousin. He was so sweet and loving with her - nothing like the way he is with his little brothers. And I thought about how they all run to hug me when I come in the door, no matter how long I’ve been gone - and there I was again - in tears!
What is the deal? Does being 30 make you more emotionally unstable or something? I hope this is over soon. This is really strange behavior for me!

It’s totally normal for you to feel this way. I believe it just manifests itself differently in everyone’s life at different times. I got clowned in college for being all mushy all the time, and now you know where it all comes from. You’ve always had those emotions. It’s just now you express them in this way because your life has expanded so much and your pool of appreciation, love and adoration is that much deeper and beautiful. The tears come across your eyes so you can see that more clearly, 30 or younger or 30 or older.

Very interesting perspective Nicole. Thanks for sharing!
The water works have cooled down and now I’m on a revamp and revise kick. More on that in a future post.
