Melancholy Holidays
Mon, 12-24-2007 - 1:00pm
It's that time of year, when everyone is celebrating different holidays. It's usually the time for reflection on the past year, and, if you're like me, it contained a breakup. I look back and even though it was a positive thing -- leaving an emotionally abusive relationship -- I am finding that I'm feeling a bit down from time to time. I think about last year and how I thought I was happy then and how disappointed I was when things didn't work out. And I also begin to ponder if I will still continue to think about him with sadness. Just when I was doing so well, the holiday comes and I'm reminiscing. It's a tough time.
