Do you ever get the blues after coming down from a really spectacular weekend or event? It seems that the older I get – the more down and depressed I become after I have a really awesome weekend. I can name the biggest and bestest times specifically: my wedding, my Aunt Donna’s 50th birthday, my mom’s 60th birthday, our three trips to Cape Cod (2008, 2010, 2011), and now…..I’ve got the serious blues after my cousin’s wedding events ended this past weekend.
There is something about being a grown-up, but acting like a kid, with all of your grown-up family members that just really makes me happy. My heart swells with joy thinking about it. We laugh until we cry when we are together. My stomach literally hurts for days after a weekend with my family. It’s quite possible that others do not think we are as hilarious or fun as we think we are, but that doesn’t matter. When we are all together – we ROCK.
I am so lucky to have such an incredible family – like THE MOST INCREDIBLE FAMILY – and I hate living so far away from them. Unfortunately though, I live where I live and right now I can’t change that. Perhaps it is for the best…perhaps if I lived right down the street from all of my family members, every time we got together it wouldn’t seem as special. And I wouldn’t want to change the feeling that I get when we are all together.
Do you ever feel this way after an amazing weekend with your family or friends? Or is it just me?
I can totally realate! I miss living so close too and I look or ward to my visits! I often wonder if I lived closer if I wouldn’t appreciate it too but I still have a good many years until I can move really close!
I get the blues sometimes too… but I think it’s just a part of life. Everything can’t be great all the time. lol.
Ugh, I totally know what you mean.. we’re nearing the end of all of our friends/family getting married and I am going to be so bummed when all the festivities are over!
I’m so glad that I am not the only one that truly loves spending time with their family. The way you described your love for you family is exactly how I feel about my mine – word for word. My husband’s family isn’t nearly as close and fun loving as mine, so I always thought that my family was strange for being the way we are – happy to see I’m not the only one.
You and your family are totally not strange for loving each other’s company so much! Don’t get me wrong – there are times we get on each other’s nerves, but for the most part, we jump for joy when we get to hang out!
Those are such pretty bridesmaid’s dresses!
Thanks! They are the Victoria Secret multi way ruched dress.
I can relate.
It’s hard coming down off that high.
I definitely feel that way after weekends (or time in general) spent with family.
Heck, I’m feeling that way right now so I definitely understand!
I used to get like that when I was in college and I’d either have to leave my family to go back to school or leave my friends to go back home. But I understand that feeling!
