Sometimes I think tooooo much

I got up this morning and after Barney left for work my plan was to go climb back into my comfy bed and snuggle up in my warm blankets and sleep just a little more. Then once he left I started thinking about this then that and I just couldn't do it. I've been feeling a little down lately as those close to me already know. I've been putting a smile on my face and going through the routine of each day but some days its soooo hard to do. I keep telling myself that I'm just being dumb; there is really no reason for these feelings. I was thinking about everything I have to be grateful for and there are so many things. I have a wonderful family and I'm loved by some incredible people. I realized that I have been thinking of my parents a lot lately and I'm not sure why. Anyway..... I climbed in my jeep and drove to the cemetery without really thinking about where I was going. It was a little chilly but I didn't notice much. I found myself sitting at their grave talking to them like they were sitting there with me. I know a lot of people do this but I have NEVER been one to do it. I go put flowers there on Memorial Day but mostly because I feel a sense of obligation to do so. I have always thought I didn't need to go there to feel close to them.... that, that's not where they are. Hmmmm.....I think I needed to go there today. I felt the comfort that they were always able to give just by being close and I felt a sense of serenity and peace deep in my heart. Before I knew it, I had been sitting there for almost 2 hours! I miss them so very very much and to feel that familiar warmth they shared so freely with everyone they knew was great!
Thanks mom and dad I love you!! YEP..... It’s going to be a beautiful day
