Today is my 10 year wedding anniversary. After 10 years you really start to think about what in life you are blessed with. I know that I’m certainly very blessed and I wanted to express that somehow.
Today my husband and I went for a quick lunch knowing that right now, with so much going on, it’s good to slow down and celebrate. We plan on doing more of a celebration later in the month but for now, this will have to do. We met up at the local chinese restraunt and while waiting on our food we talked about all that we’ve been through together. My hospitalizations, therapy, confused times we’ve worked through, our children, our successes and failures and what we’ve learned from them all…
Lunch came out and then our fortune cookies. Lately, I’ve been crying at the slightest things. I know this is due to my switching and other issues, but it’s still very funny to us both. I opened my fortune cookie and started crying! Both my husband and I had very good fortunes, as they plan it, but to cry over one? It really cracked us up.
The funny thing is that not too long ago I was watching a cartoon with the kiddos. I had seen it and continued to watch this movie until the ending where something happy happens. I started CRYING at the cartoon ending. I felt ridiculous for some time but realize that with all that I’ve gone through, this crying was no big deal. It’s just my emotions having built up and finally releasing over so many years. I always held in my sorrow and anger…and now at times it comes out in spurts like temper tantrums and crying fits.
When you dissociate–you dissociate from your life. I am now trying to be more active in my life and not dissociate so it’s heaping loads of emotions on me I never bothered to feel.
At least we can laugh about it!
By the way, my fortune was: Your courage will reap rewards for you.
How cool is that?! I think it was worth the tears shed. Definitely.
Happy, Happy, Happy! Congrats to you both!
Live, Love, Learn…………..

Crying isn’t such a bad thing sometimes, as long as your eyes don’t swell up and migrains don’t begin! lol
