Emotions Flood

Tonight, Sweetie and I went to a concert at Yoshi's in Oakland. We saw Hiroshima and they were great. I've listened to them for twenty years and during the second song of the set, I felt a flood of emotions. Tears poured out of my eyes uncontrollably.

No, I wasn't sad; just emotional. I think that I associated the music to Dominic and it felt nostalgic, happy, sad (ok, I did feel a little sad), scared, grateful (Sweetie was unaware of what was going on with me) and I just plain missed him.

It's been a long time since I wrote a post here and it's not because I haven't wanted to or haven't thought about it - every time I think about it, I find a way to distract myself. I keep telling myself that I'll get to it, but then I find my way back to whatever distracts me. I'm not trying to ignore what I'm feeling. In fact, I am still writing my daily appreciation - well, maybe it's not every day that I do it, but I do several days a week.

I should be upstairs packing; we're going to Austin tomorrow. I told myself in the concert that I would indeed write something. This is my something. I don't mind sharing it. I know that it's healthy for me to share it. Like those emotions that flooded me earlier, I know this is all good to get out.

There. I feel much better. Thanks.
