CHOOSE: SADNESS

Sometimes one cannot help but to choose sadness. Sometimes sadness chooses you.
That's what happened with me when the "New Yorkers" had to leave Disney World a day early.
            
Impending SNOW in New York---a real nor'easter. It even has a name. Winter snow storm "Reggie."

"....a time to weep, a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance" (Ecclesiastes 3:4)

That's life---"unto everything there is a season." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

All week we have had laughter and dancing and I need to focus on that. Great family memories.
But.....I also don't need to repress the sadness. I didn't.
The tears flowed as last year we only saw them once. Even this time "Mommy" had to stay home and teach. So, I cried for all of that. I don't even know when we'll see them again so I added that to the tears as well.
But God and other family members reminded me the importance of remembering the recent "season" of family celebrations.
What a "privilege" to be with Lucy as she met her favorite Elsa and Anna....... 

















and had dinner in Cinderella's palace with her 6 male cousins and met lots of other princesses.
That helps me to smile through the sadness, though my heart still aches.
