EMOTIONS
Compliments of August 1957 Seventeen Magazine
Don't even ask how I happened to have this magazine at the cabin with me.

Our assignment for this Saturday is "
EMOTION '(S) Well since today is my 65th birthday, there will probably be
lots of emotion today. I'm
HAPPY that I'm this "old?" and I'm
BEWILDERED because I'm this "old". I'm
SAD about some mistakes I've made and
DELIGHTED about others. I'm
GLAD I won't have to pay my husbands past employer $400. quarterly for private insurance any more.
I feel so HUMBLE to live in this great country and to have the Flag flown on this day.
I feel EMPATHY everyday about what is going on in parts of the world. I feel ANGUISH at many of the front page photo's of the New York Times.
I feel FORTUNATE and PROUD that we have such beautiful and gifted children and grandchildren. I'm AMAZED and GRATEFUL that my husband loves and cares for me through everything. I feel LOVE and JOY when I think of him. I am blessed to feel the WARMTH of friendship from many friends.
Today I feel GRATITUDE for our 1st grandchild, for he was born on this day also, on my 50th Birthday. I remind him every year that
he was the "BEST" birthday gift I'll ever receive. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDSON
