Am I odd, or is this normal?
So, this year has been rough and crazy as all hell. I left my abusive XH in early February, moved out of state in July to start over at a new teaching job, and was legally divorced in early December. I'm happy and healthy, and in a good relationship with a genuinely good man, and we adore each other.
Last Christmas was my worst on record. I was abjectly miserable. This year is almost its polar opposite. Even my extended family that I hardly see commented repeatedly how great I was to see me happier than I have been in at least five years. As I'm getting ready for my date tonight, I found myself getting a bit emotional at the contrast between this year and last year. Given, it's mainly happiness and gratitude, but it just struck me as odd.
All of this to say: is this emotional-ness normal, or am I just odd?
Re: Am I odd, or is this normal?
Oh, I totally cried on NYE 2011. I was at a party and bawling like a baby. Nothing particularly bad happened that day, but I was just so emotional at the changes that happened in 2010 and I was so looking forward to a new, fresh year in 2011. I was really happy that last night's new year didn't even phase me. I am really satisfied with my life right now and it's great!
Here's to a wonderful 2012!
