Excitement and Disappointment

Far too long. Far too long. I don't know why I let this go for months at a time when I find it so therapeutic. I'm only hurting myself when I do so.

I've had a bit of a rough emotional patch this week. I experienced the arrival of my precious great-granddaughter Melonie Moon Josephine Helgeson-Willis on the 11th, which was an unexplainable high. Then I found out some people were talking behind my back about me showing one-sided attention to this baby.

I allowed that to distract me for a minute, but no more than that. I'm letting go of it. I cannot do anything about someone else's feelings and I'm not going to let anyone else steal my joy.
