Sad today

Tears often overcome me, and at the oddest moments. I'll be feeling perfectly fine and then something will trigger a response of great sadness, too often around others. I believe it's the not knowing--the loss of certainty in our lives. As one of my doctor's expressed it recently. A diagnosis of breast cancer is a bit like being ejected from the Garden of Eden. No matter how old we are, it's perhaps the first time we've had to truly acknowledge our mortality. At least that how it is with me.

I also felt very sad when I hear of Barbaro's death.
