Mixed feelings

I'm amazed at how feelings can mingle.  For instance, in a mixture of abundant joy and deep longing, we're having a great weekend in MD with family, and yet wish we could be in LA holding our newest granddaughter.  So too, compassionate understanding and personal frustration.

It seems to me the trick in dealing with all that is to just let ourselves recognize and accept the entire gamut of emotions that life brings us, and not try to force them into some logical pattern that we think represents what we should be feeling.
