I get sad sometimes.
For no reason, really. I just feel sad.
I’m happily married, but sometimes I get sad.
My heart truly thrives over motherhood and taking care of my children, but sometimes I get sad.
I am happy with who I am, comfortable in my own skin, and proud of the accomplishments I’ve made in my life. But sometimes I still get sad.
Sometimes it will creep up on me unexpectedly, and I’ll just feel sad.
“Self?” I’ll ask myself. “What in the world is wrong with you? Why are you so down?”
I’ll answer back, “I don’t know…”
Sometimes I just get sad.
I guess there’s no immunity to the blues. It can invade the happiest woman on the planet even while she smiles the world’s biggest smile on the outside. Inside she will frown.
Last night I just got sad.
My precious daughters hopped around happily, saying clever things, performing enormous feats for my attention while they called out “look Momma!”
How can you be sad? My frowny, inside voice said to my outwardly smiling self. You’re so blessed.
I am always blessed, but sometimes I still get sad.
Before bed I sat in the dark rocking my youngest daughter to sleep. I rubbed her hair that was finally starting to grow, and I gazed longingly at her lovely lashes while she slept. They curled upwards in a come hither gesture, and I smiled despite the fact that my stubborn heart felt sad, for no apparent reason at all.
I love you, Lord. I whispered. Thank you.
Because even when I got sad I was still grateful. Even when I felt down He still brought me up.
This morning when I woke the sadness was gone. I don’t know where it came from, nor do I know where it went.
As I rose with contentment within me I whispered much the same, I love you, Lord. Thank you.
Sometimes I just get sad.

My anxiety has been in full force these past few weeks. In the midst of blessings, I still struggle.

Brie I think we all do at times. Mine is sometimes there as soon as I wake up. I divert mine by reading scripture.
I hope you are not sad today!

I get sad wishing my relationship with my kids could be better! It seems we operate on a whole different level! Some days those negative thoughts just stack up causing a sad spell! But, I know God loves me and that is awesome when the all mighty knows me and loves me! I relate it, even though on a small small scale as compared to God’s love, to working for a wonderful boss who is patient, kind, helps me through any struggle and is always happy to see me! My sadness goes away in His presence!
