“And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
is all that you can't leave behind”
-U2
I swear, there are days that will just test you. This is one of those days for me. It started with an email that totally blindsided me. I sat there and stared at the screen – more surprised by my emotional response than the actual content of the email itself. 8:40am is too early for a ‘shock and awe’ email. At least let me get through my first cup of coffee.
I calmly closed the email and picked up the phone to call Rosie. I got voicemail and left a quick “Call me asap” message. I reopened the email. Yep, still said the same thing. I took a few deep breaths and tried not to get angry with myself for being a little sad…ok, a lot sad.
It really shouldn’t be a big deal but clearly, there’s baggage that I can’t leave behind.

That really sucks. :(
You haven't said a lot, yet you've still said so much. Without knowing, I know. And even stranger, I'm right there with you today. I had a similar experience over the weekend...and a few recent encounters that make that U2 phrase all too familiar for me too. Take solace in this, you're definitely not alone.
