So. I was having one of those days where I felt emotionally wonky. One moment I was feeling saucy, and the next I felt like crying. There didn’t seem to be a connection or catalyst to my swings, so I applied my “one term fits all” solution…hormones. It had to be my hormones misbehaving. Again!
When my husband came home from work I snuggled in his arms and took several deep breaths.
“Tell me something nice,” I said.
“I love you more than you can imagine.” He paused a moment before adding, “What’s going on with you?”
“I don’t know, I just feel small in the Universe today.”
He gave me a squeeze and said, “Let me assure you that you are very large.”
Our eyes met. I pulled back and raised an eyebrow.
“What?”
“Um, can I take that back? What I meant was…” He was stammering and my emotions were bubbling like hormonal champagne.
I knew he didn’t mean what came out of his mouth, but it took effort to let it go. It was that kind of day. A few moments later we were laughing together. It was that kind of day as well.
Hormones, the Jekyll and Hyde of my life, keep things interesting. And interesting–even in the wonkiest of moments– is the best part of my day.
