Somehow I am feeling a little out of sorts....no particular reason, just am. Maybe it's because today is my son's birthday and I am not with him to celebrate, maybe it's because this is the time of the year that my Mom passed away and I still miss her with all my heart, or maybe my hormones are raging (oh no that can't be the reason, I am too old for that, but it sounds like a good excuse). It is certainly not because of the weather, it has been a beautiful Fall. Ever once in awhile, I just feel sad, and tears fall and if you ask me why, I can't put my finger on it, but it's there nevertheless. Tomorrow I will be fine, but today I am not....Don't you ever feel that way sometimes? Surely I am not the only one.
The kids....
Here's to a better day tomorrow.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Until next time.....

ReplyDeletethese are gorgeous shots. i always get melancholy in fall. i miss the season in wisconsin - and it does bring up a lot of loss with family and time.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, today is one of those days for me too. And, I'll probably be better tomorrow. Beautiful photos as usual. Have a better rest of the week :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I have those days. I wake up in a funk and I don't know why. I think it proves we're human. Yes, I know, Deanna. You think you have superpowers, but you don't. You only have a spiffy new camera that is doing lovely work! 'Tomorrow is another day!'
ReplyDeletexoxoxoxo
I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day..I've had my share of days like this too. Love your photos today!
ReplyDeleteRemember that song, "My Mama said there'd be days like this...?" A cleansing cry is sometimes just the thing to make me feel better. Your photos pay glorious homage to fall. Are you using the new camera? The "kids" sure are cute.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how someone can be blue...and still make such beautiful art? that is amazing in it self my friend.
ReplyDeleteI think it is natural for these "out of sorts" times to come and go.
ReplyDeleteKnowing that they do go, is key.
Here's to a better day tomorrow! xo.
Such loveliness that you've captured here. Each day has its new beginnings. Hopefully yours will bring blessing to your heart.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful autumn captures. Times like this I am usually short on sleep, makes a big difference to my cope-ability.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are down today, Deanna... a good cry can be cleansing, a bath helps, and so does a good nights sleep. I agree with Karen - the BIG one for me is sleep. But your photos and berries and bokeh that looks like berries, and your kids, are all super sweet! Thanks for sharing today!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos today, Deanna! Love those sweet pups. Life does catch up with us sometimes and we need some time to process it all. Be good to yourself tonight, Dear. A little pampering goes a long way to make us feel perkier. Big hug. xo
ReplyDeleteThank goodness the sun comes up for a fresh new day and I hope tomorrow the tears have done their job and you are feeling better...I hope you sleep well as that always seems to help as well.....Big hugs to you....
ReplyDeleteDefinitely have days like that. Usually when I have to admit I am not in control and let go. I don't like it.
ReplyDeleteHope tomorrow is as beautiful as today, only with joy where the tears were. ;-)
Your photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, RW & SK
Gorgeous fall photos! Usually when I am tired is when I feel out of sorts and I sometimes cry for no reason. Sleep well tonight and I hope you have a better day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Barb
.Deanna, tomorrow will be a better day to be sure. That you have such great focus on your photography and blogging and do it in such grand style helps us to keep hanging in there. Revved up with ammunition to fight the adversities. Sure some days it's harder than others ....LOVED photo #4
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you are feeling sad at this time - I really hope you feel better tomorrow! You have some absolutely gorgeous pictures here - autumn is such a beautiful time of the year.
ReplyDeleteBe kind to yourself today :)
You're not alone. I think most of us have days like that - I know I do. I'm sorry you're feeling this way, I hope this morning brings a better day. I'll be thinking about you - many hugs.
ReplyDeleteHonestly and emphatically yes! I think it is because every now and again emotion must escape from within - it is the body's natural way of cleansing.
ReplyDeleteBIG. {{HUGS}} my friend. and YES get those days-you have your sense of humor-that is half the battle-that LEAF photo is to die for and that font!!! Hope today is a better day lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteI do feel that way (Insert Wednesday blog post here) ... What I like about this is that you aren't overly-working it for a solution. This has given me something really good to think about. Cause I'm a "fixer" and like to get at the root of things to change them. It's true, the older I get, the more I realize that's not always possible...or necessary. I've been missing my kids a lot - well, more the feeling of the four of us hanging together. But I like the gentleness with which you let it ride. Let yourself feel, without drowning in it or trying to get 'over' it. Thank you very much for this! (and your very pretty photos!)
ReplyDeleteOh, I assure you you're not the only one. This time of year brings to mind my first divorce and my paternal grandparents' deaths. But the season is so beautiful it's hard to stay sad for too long. Hoping you are feeling better today. Your photos are magnificent! And the pups are precious.
ReplyDeleteAwww, yes I do. And lately I have to fight it too for many reasons I do know about, but know that your photos brought a smile to my face because Autumn hasn't fallen here yet. I hope today you feel a little better - hugs and love to you Deanna!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine that your the only one, but I'm sure it will give you a bit of comfort to know there are others that sometimes feel that way too. A Dutch comedian once said: "my life is full of highs and lows, but that's maybe the main reason that I'm feeling so alife, because the opposite is having a flat line." Sending you hugs from Holland.
ReplyDeleteI think we need times to feel sad. Sometimes the sadness is connected closely to what is going on in our lives, sometimes not. But tears can be healing. I hope yours are healing and that you are are feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteFeeling melancholy is only natural , I think we need to accept that not every day is an 'up' day. Sending hugs
ReplyDeleteoh, i'm sorry you had a bad day yesterday. i think we're all prone to having a "blue" day. when that happens to me and i can't shake it no matter how hard i try, i just embrace it, knowing that that tomorrow i'll be myself again. a little self-indulgence never hurt anyone. hope you're having a happy day today. : )
ReplyDeleteCry when you need to cry - it's very healing and those blues will pass. Sounds like you've put your finger on good reasons but trigger or not, know that it's ok! Treat yourself with extra kindness today!
ReplyDeleteOh, you're not alone...I have more than my fair share of days like that. Hopefully, today was better for you :)
ReplyDeleteI have had days like that as well.. And I ALWAYS blame it on my hormones. If we didn't have some bad days every now and then, we wouldn't appreciate the good ones. I am sending a big hug your way..
ReplyDeleteWe all have days like that .... **hugs**
ReplyDeleteThings will get better.
Yep, I've had a few of those days from time to time myself. I think everyone does if they are honest.
ReplyDeleteWow you photo's just blow me away. The shot of the Lone Leaf near the bottom is stunning. Your furry kids are so adorable. Hope they are getting along a little more and becoming better friends. - Lucky you to capture the pretty little yellow butterfly. I've been trying to get a shot of one all summer, in fact I just saw some about an hour ago but not would land long enough for me to take their picture.
I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier to try and cheer you up -- but looks like you had plenty of friends doing just that. xo
ReplyDeleteYes, Deanna. Nodding. I cry. Everybody cries. And sometimes it is hard to know what really brings us to the times we call sorrow or grief. Other times, it's easy to see. God would hand you tissues and pat your back. He sure would not say never cry or you must always be happy. God cries. I am certain of this.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Pam
Deanna,
ReplyDeleteI understand! Living so far from home, I rarely get to spend birthdays and holidays with my family. Sometimes I just desperately want a hug from Mom on a bad day. It is hard, thank goodness for phones. It is not the same, but at least I can hear her voice.
Stunning set of fall pictures. You are such a talent! Your autumn header is beautiful.
