Issues

I have been thinking a lot about issues in our lives. I wonder, are they really issues or are they issues because I made them an issue. I am not even sure anyone can follow this line of thinking but, it seems to me that I make things issues. Like my sadness over the J's leaving. I should be happy that they are beginning their own journey. I am kind of...but, it is an issue for me to hang onto...to ponder...to make much out of nothing really. Am I going to miss them? Of course, but it isn't as if I am the only person in the world that doesn't have her entire family with her....another example....

Joe and I went to breakfast this morning. We were talking about things and I said that I often think back when I see families with younger children about us and our "younger" kids...back then if you would have told me that I would have so much turmoil so far into my life, I would have laughed you off the planet...did I have issues back then? yes and I thought they were so serious and the worst I would ever experience but, our lives have a way of waiting until you feel at peace...waiting until your guard is down and whamo something hits.

Issues...do I make them more than they are? I think I do. How can I lesson this for me? Anyone have any ideas???

If it's important to you, it is not small or insigfigant. I used to get SO depressed over not being around rob/brandee and j to the 5th - - and if anyone would have tried to belittle me for having them . . . Oooo man, I pity the boy who would've tried.

You enjoy those babies and plan to come live somewhere close. I would be in hog heaven to have you close.
