You can not die of sad

No matter how much you think you will
no matter how much you want to
you will not die of sad

if it is not your time
then you will not die of heartache
you will not die of sorrow or loss no matter how much it hurts

you may not be able to keep your eyes from tearing up
or feeling empty, hollow, alone or depressed

but you will not die

give yourself time to grieve if someone has died
some people say 3 days, and then it is your responsibility to move on
stop listening to sad songs and try to move past the pain

sorrow, hurt, anger - real pain comes in waves
it may not be over for years, but it will not kill you

don't let it ruin your spirit, your success, your zeal for life
there will be good moments, too, still ahead

remember, change is inevitable: this too shall pass

Maybe you just haven't been sad enough to die yet...

also.. changes.. reminds me of a book that my wife is reading called "Transitions" by William Bridges

From her post in booklings:

Interesting side note here. Bridges recommends noticing how you have dealt/do deal with the transitions in your life thus far. Without know it before, today I realized that in almost any major change, I want to change my hair and I want to scour the house in random cleaning (aka, ignoring the dishes, but meticulously cleaning my makeup bag and brushes or taking the vacuum to the ignored places in/behind the couch). What are some of your patterns when you are going through transitions?
