Feelings, nothing more than feelings, . . .

Feelings in my life are not as complicated as I make them to be 
"Feelings, wo-o-o feelings" . . . pardon me as I break into song!
I posted a little bit about this on facebook but what can I expect when 1/3 of my
friends are under-aged adolescents who haven't even heard of this song. 
"Feelings, wo-o-o feelings"
So this is the deal. . .why is it that I feel something and it lingers and lingers 
and lingers and what do I do? ignore it. Yes that is where it can turn complicated
althoughthe original feeling itself is not. I don't really want to share and I'm sure
you don't want me to either but I'm just trying to realize and understand when
I will trust more on those feelings.
"Feelings, wo-o-o feelings"
Why have these feelings if we are not going to trust in them. I'm not having an
existential angst or anything but really- by now I should know better.
"Feelings, wo-o-o feelings"
So this is the plan, because in all things their should be a plan, I am giving in.
I have fought with this thinking that as long as I am rational (you know just thinking
with the noggin') then I will have nothing to fear. However, my feelings don't come
from the brain they come from the heart. I can't change that and I can't change
what I am feeling so I give up! No more trying to make it make sense. I'm just
going to go with my feelings. As my BFF always says, my feelings never betray me.
And in the past when I go with them for good or for bad, I know what's up but
when I try to ignore them or set them aside I just get all jumbled up in my life.
So no more jambalaya in this girls life (LOL). . .it's time to focus on the heart
and let the brain join in instead of having the heart try to catch up to the brain.
"Feelings, wo-o-o feelings"
"Feelings, wo-o-o feelings"
"Feelings, wo-o-o feelings"
"Feelings, wo-o-o feelings"
"Feelings, wo-o-o feelings"
The truth is . . . I already FEEL much better!

Twilight Reunion

The truth about BFF's is that we can do silly things together and not care about what others think. Yes, it is true we have read the Twilight series, fallen in love with Edward and one of us has even dressed up like a Cullen's. Therefore, why would we deprive ourselves of a Friday 12:30 am showing of the video version of our imagination and dreams. Yes! I went into it with low expectations and slowly yet surely I fell in love with Edward as I sat in the theater with more twelve year olds then I would dare guess. They came well prepared with slippers, blankets, Fan t-shirts and treats. We, well lets just say we showed up ready to feast on the film. Thank you to Moody for bringing the girls together and providing the I Love Edward pins (so we wouldn't feel left out of course!). Oh and yes I did make it home at 3 am and worked from 7:30 am-3:05 the next day. . . ask my students who made me laugh about nothing for about 15 mins. trust me no one was happier then me that it was a Friday . . .and that my friends is the truth.
