Per Whisper's request, I went through some of my old blogs, As I have deleted them over the years I am grateful I kept most of them, and enjoy going through and reading them to see how things have changed since I wrote them. Its hard when I have had so many blogs to pick just one............but this is one of my favorites.........I thought I would share it with you ....again LOL This was written in November 2007.

I was born emotionally........without any understanding of why!

I have been told I am emotional because i am a woman..............that due to the estrogen levels in my body.........which can cause a rollar coaster of emotions to come around and influence my thinking..............Yet I have met a lot of
women in my time who are not emotional creatures or at least not as much apparenly as I can be and yet I wouldn't want to be the one to suggest I have a higher estrogen level than they do. Nor would I want to be the one to say they don't have the deepest of feelings that i do.

I have been told I am emotional because I have an analytical mind...........I don't see things in black and white...........I look for the grey areas to explain or validate my beliefs.......Yet i have met men who were just as analytical and maybe
more so............that were not emotional...........and I have seen men who were emotional that only saw the black and white in any situation.

It has been suggested that I am emotional because I am a mother...............Yet I have seen mothers that were cold and unemotional...........so the fact that I was able to develop and carry a baby inside of me...........really has no
reasoning behind being emotional...........And although men can father children..........they cannot experience the feeling of carrying that child deep inside them......forming them to be born as a son or daughter.............and yet I have seen men who cried as they put their son or daughter on the bus for their first day of school........

I was told that I am emotional because I am immature..........well I would never disagree that I don't have immature qualities about me..............but I am not sure being immature will explain why when I think of a time that a young man
picked me wild flowers and brought them to be when i was 12 and sick with the flu, it still brings tears to my eyes.

I do know that for a long time when someone would tell me I was emotional, I took it as an insult.....Somehow they were saying I was weak and couldn't handle life.........today I realize that being emotional for me opens the doors to
feelings that I may not feel if I was a person who didn't have strong emotions, that didn't allow their heart to rule them............today being emotional is a part of who I am and for whatever reason there is that I am emotional i am not
upset about it............

Being emotional opens up a lot of things that I might have missed if I had went thru life not putting much effort into what my heart felt.............

I would never have known the joy of watching my children learn to walk...............and the knowledge that it can still bring tears to my eyes today.

I would never have known the feeling of that first great love...........and would give up the hope that it could be there once again for me.

I would never have cared when I lost a friend..........nor would It please me to find that someone who walked out of my life still worries about me today as i do them.

I would never cry thru a sad movie.................and be grateful for the happy ending............which offers us hope..............

I would never be able to look at a newborn......tears in my eyes as I prayed for a wonderful safe future........being emotional allows me to do that with all living things.

I would never be able to remember sending my young son off to war and the tears I cried over that...........the tears I still cry over that........not just for my son but for all of our military personnel.............

I would only be able to remember the pain i felt when I lost my mother........instead of being grateful for the time I had with her......to this day, there are times, I can still hear her voice say good job, Dayna...........and my eyes fill with tears.........thank God for being emotional, it keeps my mother alive for me..............

Yes being emotional is a good thing for me, most of the time. tho of course thru life I probably should have used my common sense more than what my heart felt to save from getting hurt..........yet in each time I got hurt I learned a
valuable lesson.........so was it wrong to go with those emotions?

Yesterday I was very emotional:
It brought tears to my eyes that a friend I hadn't gotten to talk to in a week told me I love you beautiful and then we spent over an hour on the phone just talking about what was going on with each other...........Thank you Sam.

It brought tears to my eyes.............when my son who is 23 yrs old called......and we caught up with what has been going on the last few days and finally i said so whats up son? and he said nothing just wanted you to know I love you..........
