If it makes you happy!

I have a fantastic life.

I have a fantastic family. A fantastic dog. A fabulous house. Great friends. A job that only makes me want to stab people with spoons occasionally.  Enough money to pay bills and enjoy myself every now and then.

In general, I'm happy. I am aware of the blessings in my life.

My brain chemistry is not always on the same page.

The other day I cried at work. A lot.  I couldn't stop.  I had an altercation with a co-worker and I wasn't feeling 100%, and I cried. And cried.   Chef brought me blueberry bread.  My co-worker brought me Kleenex. I blew my nose into the Kleenex.

I posted about it on Facebook.  I am an oversharer.

My grandma saw.  Called my mom.  Was worried.

Mom told Dad. Dad commented, "I just don't know what it will take for her to be happy."

I am happy. I AM. I REALLY, REALLY AM.

But sometimes, my brain tells me I'm not. Sometimes, I have to cry.  I can't control it.  It controls me. And then, I'm fine.
